Colbert turns into conspiracy theorist to explain why he was fired.

2.5 million viewers isn't diddly shit, especially so when it's over-air for free....Also has the largest viewership drop of them all.

They were second in late night shows. Only a couple hundred thousand behind gutfield.

He was still in the top 2.

True, but I find it amazing that Colbert, with all of his reach, was losing out to Gutfeld, who could only reach a fifth of the potential audience that Colbert could.

I've never listened or watched Colbert until the post in this thread. He sounds like a whiny *****

Colbert was paid $20 million for a super-woke show nobody watched. Get woke get broke. Hopefully no one else will hire this unfunny comedian.

Colbert dubs himself a ‘martyr’ after his show’s canned, hits back at Trump with f-bomb insult

Stephen Colbert labeled himself a “martyr” for getting his flailing late-night CBS show canned — while telling President Trump on-air to “go f–k yourself.” …

I guess $20 million a year is the going rate for top Democrat propagandists like Colbert and Maddow. Geez, it seems like the Democrats could get some better than those two losers for $20 million a year!

Maybe that extra hour?
IDK. Im not defending the guy. I think he is lame.

I'd rake in 20 mil to screech Orange Man is bad

Gutfeld is only on cable, not free over-the-air broadcast.

Madcow is actually the brains at MSLSD, for what that's worth.

The networks are willing to pay the price for the opportunity to spread lefty propaganda.

Yup - china pays them millions to help destroy america.

 

[marvin martian]

He was fired because he dissed your idol.

Not because he loses his employer $50 million per year?

 

[Mr Natural]

Not because he loses his employer $50 million per year?

Good excuse.

 

[StatesRightsForever]

He was fired because his show lost 40 to million per year, for three straight years.

And he was paid 20 mill and wouldn't take a pay cut!!! It's crazy what entertainers are paid. He just read stuff somebody else wrote. Should have been paid 50 thou a year.

 

[Independent thinker]

I've never watched one second of that left loon's crap.

Late night television is nothing but trash

Yup. I used to love watching Jay Leno. He was equal oppotunity when it came to cracking jokes about politicians. He was probably the last one who didn't actually use their late night show to be an extension of the democrat party.

 

[jknowgood]

How can any show lose 40M a year (for three years running) and survive?

I guess usaid was funding it, now that money is gone. So is the show.

Studios are like many corporations, they want military-like control (the genesis of corporate structures was military). It's a bit sad, this is why courts need to stop silencing speech and why I am not a fan of lawsuits against ones speech.

Coolie College

Exactly what indentured-servitude Eweniversity "education" is really all about, proving that the economic bullies respect only self-sacrifice by no-talent brown-noses, who severely cripple their personalities and their mental abilities.

Mediocre people love it. It enables Plutelickers to get jobs they'd never qualify for if only the talented were recruited and would earn while they learn.

The tallest midget is a pretty dubious distinction.

Especially if you’re playing a version of basketball where the hoop is a hole in the floor.

Being tops in the ratings while losing millions per year is like being the top WNBA team, just sayin'.

Especially when your competition is racist losers like Jimmy Kimmel.

And that league needs to go. It is tiresome paying for everything. Those cents and nickels and dimes and quarters and dollars add up.

 

[blackhawk]

It’s Hollywood someone will hire him probably on a streaming service the fact he kept his job as long as he did despite how much money the show costing the network showed it was about the narrative not money or being entertaining. There is no doubt someone out in Hollywood who will be happy to continue that trend.
