I've never owned a TV and I watch most of the late night comedians on Youtube. Love Colbert!

You must be ANCIENT and DECREPIT not to understand that "ratings" cannot include a large swathe of viewers, who don't watch via TV...
Colbert is the #1 late night show on TV... and then you have to add all the streaming views on various platforms.



We watch on streaming. We finally gave up cable a year or so ago, but we subscribed to Paramount+ and Peacock so we could keep up with Colbert, the Daily Show, and Seth Meyers, plus the one or two network series we still watch.

Honestly, I’ve noticed for the past couple of years that Colbert seems to have lost his spark and is going through the motions, so this probably will be a good change for him on a personal and professional-creativity level. But the fact that it’s probably good for him personally doesn’t make the political network-caving-to-pressure aspects any less troubling.

This is actually really scary. So, comedians can’t make fun of our leaders anymore? We are on such a dangerous path.

The problem is the show just became an I hate Trump program and that turns off more than half of the country. More men watch late night anyway and they are not buying what is being sold. The last skit on the fake Melania was plain mean spirited. No way they would be done to Michele Obama. Colbert used to be funny but he just became bitter and mean. John Carson is never to be replaced. He understood that his role is not politics. These late night guys could learn something. Kimmel will be the next to go. He just goes on and on and on and not funny.


How can anyone not hate a man who wears globs on tanning makeup. The amount of tanning makeup Trumps wears screams "mock me"!

No one forced them to win that bidding war. And I’m sure he’s made them a lot of money in almost ten years. Also, the entire show is going, so they’re dropping his salary, that of 200 other people, then rent on the studio, etc. etc.


CBS has owned the Ed Sullivan Theater for decades.

Whoops yes but they bought it for Colbert’s predecessor Letterman and now that they’re not going to have a late night show at all they can sell it, so even more monetary incentive.

How to breathe they are that stupid



Watching how Maga is playing out and how even Trump is insulting them now, makes it more clear to me how the whole Nazi propaganda went down. My entire life I’ve wondered how anybody could just let that happen but it’s playing out right in front of us.

Yup


Here is the thing every time someone brings up salient points it goes into a whole anti MAGA thing. The show was too expensive to produce. That is the reality. The reality is also more people do not want politics part of daily discussion then do. That is the reality and for hyper political people this makes them mad and again going to crazy conspiracies. Everything Nazi or threat to democracy and on and on. Sometimes people just want to be entertained without some kind of celebrity telling them how to think. Usually same celebrities do not even live in the way they prescribe everyone to live. Same people fyi had zero issue with everyone in network tv being very liberal and no concern that there was no conservative voice. There has not been conservative thought on network tv for years. Anyway more people want either no politics or some sort of middle ground and thankfully it looks like the winds are veering to come middle ground.

The ratings belie your opinion bolded above, since Colbert and Kimmel each have better ratings than Fallon who avoids talking politics at all.

Colbert hasn't been funny for a long time, but I tuned in just for all the Moralizing and Scolding. But even that wore thin after a while.

More like 20,000,000. I switched back and forth between Colbert and Kimmel every night.


No way you are younger than 65. This is classic 1995 TV habit.

He stopped being even mildly amusing years ago.


I think he’s hilarious. But he probably doesn’t appeal to dumbo MAGAs who think it’s the funniest thing ever to snap selfies in front of the “Alligator Alcatraz” sign, for sure.


This!....or wearing stupid MAGA hats that announce their stupidity.
