But then again, you could be really ignorant.

I hear its trending

If it was not for political reasons to get the merger to go through, why would they make the decision and announce it today? Why not January?

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.

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.

DP. I do the same and I'm younger than 65.

Literal who?

The real fake news up there.

The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes

Division P time slot.

Andor pulled 10million views for every individual episode.

So? Different category, different type of show. On network TV in that slot, he pulled as much as could be pulled.

It has high ratings for a late night show so the reasoning is a lie.

I think he will come out with something better in the end.

Lots of speculation about that.

“Jon Stewart does not sound like he is losing sleep over “The Daily Show” potentially being canceled if Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount is approved.
Stewart, on the Thursday episode of his “The Weekly Show” podcast, was asked if he is concerned the deal would spell the end of the long-running comedy program, in part because of his recent criticism of Paramount and President Donald Trump. The 62-year-old comedian said he is not worried about it.

“You know, unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything from [Paramount or Skydance]. They haven’t called me and said like, ‘Don’t get too comfortable in that office.’”

He continued: “Let me tell you something — I’ve been kicked out of s–ttier establishments than that. We’ll land on our feet.”

I hope CBS employees strike. If he had the audience and numbers and profits, this is pure censorship and revenge.

He has become increasingly preachy, not funny, and kinda cringy to watch recently.

Hopefully this will be a good change for him, late night every week night seems to be a grind.

Are you joking? There is no one more mean spirited than Trump.

The difference is Trump can be very funny at times.

What? Trump has never been funny!
