15. IMHO there's a good chance that Stephen Colbert wanted out of his contract

He seems to be relieved that his show is ending next year. Probably he's glad to be getting away from the CBS-Paramount clusterfuck anyway. With all that uncertainty and bad karma, Stephen probably didn't feel like taking a chance with the new owners, who are certain to be even bigger assholes than the old owners of CBS.

But with ABC/Disney and The View, it's a different story. They have great ratings and little competition during the daytime, I'm sure the advertisers are happy, and there's good talent behind the cameras and in front. There would be no reason to cancel this show, with or without Rosie O'Donnell.
