CBS: This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”

In other words, CBS bowed to Trump again to remove one of his most vocal critics.

1. Welcome to Youtube Stephen!

3. And then no holds barred

2. Real Time with Stephen Colbert

4. He should restart The Colbert Report, Trump's dumb enough to think Colbert is a

Flag hugging, eagle loving Republican.

5. A financial decision

to cancel the #1 late night show in the ratings in the 2nd quarter of 2025.

Yeah right!

[TrunKated]

6. He is in no way a perfect advocate for the left.

I was a little miffed that he played this Biden clip a few times too many.

This was before the bad debate.

To be fair, he could have played it once not umpteen times.

7. And we demand perfection!

8. Put Seth Myers in his spot.

10. There is no spot

They are ending late night

[doc03]

12. I know but it would be an improvement, it is all about pressure from Trump and MAGA.

9. Remember...

They also canceled the Smothers Brothers back in the day.

[Silent Type]

11. I believe Colbert will tell the truth. Watch him often. The next 10 months should be interesting.

While it’s hard to believe trump politics is not involved, I do think late night shows on major networks is a declining market and 3 major shows might be too much.

[doc03]

13. CBS is there for one thing making money, the truth is Colbert offends maybe 30% of

the of the market because of his political bias.

[W_HAMILTON]

15. Colbert's show was the highest rated in its time slot.

MAGA is a minority and pissing off 30% is better than pissing off the other 70%.

If it was a financial decision -- it wasn't -- it was a pretty fucking stupid one.

[spanone]

14. A bullshit letter.

They're dead to me.

[UTUSN]

16. KRASNOV is more predictable than a horoscope
