Furious Butthurt MAGA Hosts Melt Down at Colbert Finale Frenzy

Mid-level MAGA media voices have melted down over the attention paid to Stephen Colbert’s final episode of The Late Show.

Colbert wound up his 11-year-run on the CBS late-night show on Thursday night, after the network controversially axed the long-running program last July.

The cancellation came just three days after Colbert, 62, slammed the network’s MAGA-friendly parent company, Paramount, for its $16 million settlement with Trump.

“I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles: it’s big, fat bribe,” Colbert said on his show at the time.

Fux Noise and SnoozeMax hosts complained. The article goes on to show Colbert drew a bigger audience than any of the complainers.

With all due respect to Byron Allen, ratings for that timeslot will plummet to slightly above zero. Advertising revenue will dry up faster than my first beer on the 4th of July.

I describe his shows as hard to watch and flat out boring. He might be better off switching to a Late Show format. He can do whatever he wants because he's leasing the time slot.

after the advertising revenue craters for that time slot. I'm also certain they won't give a shit because Agent Orange will be smug and satisfied.

They're pathetic. Colbert is a consummate pro, at the top of his game.

They’re just a bunch of carnival barkers selling tickets to a shoot-the-hoops game wherein the rim is the exact size of the basketball.
