We don’t have to! We have made all of our money and can’t be fired so we act how we like.

That would be a smart business move since Republicans are underserved in media and entertainment. That's why independent podcasters are now mega celebrities- they have been the only consistent broadcasters for half the country.
The "liberal white man railing at everyone" market is completely saturated. Way too much supply and not enough demand.

I still find him hilarious. Different strokes for different folks. I guess CBS was too afraid of Trump to keep him on.
Same! Love him.
Despite what that magas on this thread want to believe Colbert is so talented and really does such a great job with all his interviews.
Then why was his show not profitable?
It was profitable.

It’s easy to find plenty of links that talk about how it has been losing roughly $40 million per year at this point. If I weren’t driving right now, I would post some.
I have not seen anything that counters these assertions.
Why cancel now? CBS had ample opportunity to do so. Why now? Because of the merger. Trump can’t handle his feelings being hurt.
They didn't "cancel" the show this week.
He will get to finish his contract. They simply are not renewing the contract
+1 It's not like they fired Colbert and replaced him with another $15M host. There hasn't been any evidence that would lead a reasonable person to determine that CBS decided not to renew this money-hemorrhaging show (in advance of a merger when they're trying to decrease the expenses column) due to Trump.
Not for the first time in this thread, then why did they announce it when they did?
Also not for the first time in tis thread: Because his contract is up next year and they're giving him advanced warning and letting him finish the contract term (which is a benefit to Colbert). Plus he announced it.
He announced it after they informed him, so the timing issue stands.
Are you claiming that CBS/Paramount was in no way placating Trump in every way possible for the sake of the merger?
If your show is losing $40 million a year with declining ad revenue, I’m sure pointing an accusing finger at CBS motivations helps you to not take stock of the financial picture.
I like Colbert just fine. He’ll be fine. CBS will probably lose less money by having empty air in that spot.

You don't have a smoking gun proving that it was.
There are legitimate reasons why his contract wouldn't be renewed, including losing money and declining popularity for that genre. Plus the fact that they didn't replace him/are scrapping the whole endeavor and they're letting him finish his contract instead of firing him.
One more legitimate reason that blows away your TDS timing theory is that companies generally cut poorly performing sections right before a merger. So even if Colbert's contract non-renewal is related to the merger, then there's a legitimate reason why it has nothing to do with Trump.

Well, they did not “cancel” it now. They indicated that they will not be renewing it after its current contract expires on schedule next year. They are simply acknowledging the obvious trend that the traditional late night variety show format is not sustainable in 2025. They do not anticipate that Colbert could make it profitable again, nor that anyone else could.
And corporate mergers and restructuring tend to have a way of encouraging these hard decisions when various business units are under increased scrutiny to put their financial pictures in the best possible light.
This, especially the bolded. The company trying to sell will generally cut losses and trim any fat to make the books look as profitable as possible to get the most money.
It's hard to believe the conspiracy theorists didn't know that when positing these ludicrous arguments.

It's not suspicious at all. If they wanted to silence Colbert, why keep him on the air for an entire year with nothing to lose? The Trump conspiracy theories don't make any sense. He's old and tired, expensive, and then to top it off, he publicly railed against his bosses. I mean.... you can't behave that way, put up loser ratings, get paid $15M per year and keep your job. Come on.
+1 This conspiracy theory claim is tenuous at best.
