He'd still be financially just fine.

They have been working toward this since the 80s. Now it's on steroids and right out in the open. We knew they planned to weaponize every part of govenment to silence the truth, shovel the shit for Don the bully mob boss.

...but he said after this current contract, he was going to hang it up. So, he has nothing to lose. And with Colbert about to be on the open market, they may have been thinking about bringing him in, granted he would have a show either before or after Kimmel for awhile, but once Kimmel left, he would probably take his slot.

This bullshit however, throws everything into flux. I don't think Disney anticipated the backlash.
