sounds like mismanagement if they can't make money with the most successful show in late night tv. so now they'll hire someone cheaper and get stomped in the ratings and lose more money?
The show sucked.@fatpiggy and @MTTiger19 are both so laughably brain dead Lolol. Reading this thread makes me jealous of their ability to live in an alternate reality
When you have to fire satirists who have made jokes about the President in order to get a merger approved by the government - that’s what real government censorship of the media looks like.
it's pretty disgusting but what isn't disgusting about this new political climate? so many norms have been obliterated and open corruption is just accepted now by the cultists. straight up Russia/NK behavior.

That’s your opinion, which while not a fact is still typically wrong. In the case it’s both your opinion and incorrect. Just because you keep hammering it in posts (like the other day when you kept repeatedly posting that Kamala is the dumbest politician in history, which is just laugh out loud wrong) doesn’t make it true.The show sucked.
Not my fault cbs can’t budget correctly. The show had tons of viewers. They obviously let the budget balloon too much.Being brain dead and out of touch with reality is thinking this is some grand right-wing conspiracy instead of what it really is... basic capitalism. You’re openly bashing your employer while your show is over $40 million in the red. Folks like you are called, "useful idiots" for a reason.
Uh uh uh because the show sucked.
The question is if he will find anything at comparable market value. His show sucked so he won’t get scooped up by another network.Isn’t it 8 months before he’s available and like 4 days after it was announced?
Do personally expect he’ll do something else though regardless.
I don’t know their finances or what they were making on advertising. But I do often find it humorous how often you share your opinion as if it is fact.The question is if he will find anything at comparable market value. His show sucked so he won’t get scooped up by another network.
My guess is he does a podcast or something he can finance himself.
It’s hilarious to see Dems pitch a fit over an unfunny show that was hemorrhaging money.
This makes democrats look really bad. They have no understanding of economics and that was the same way they governed.
If Netflix picks up the Colbert show I’ll come and post an admission that I’m wrong.I don’t know their finances or what they were making on advertising. But I do often find it humorous how often you share your opinion as if it is fact.
this moron claims to be some kind of capitalist savant but thinks the #1 rated show in its time slot "sucked"until then we will have to assume the show cancelled because it sucked.
Correct. They all suck his just sucked the least.this moron claims to be some kind of capitalist savant but thinks the #1 rated show in its time slot "sucked"![]()
Sucked is subjective and an opinion no matter how you slice it, but coolIf Netflix picks up the Colbert show I’ll come and post an admission that I’m wrong.

You are so hilariously dumb posting like a child trying to annoy its older sibling. “If I keep saying it sucked over and over again eventually they will either accept it or just get tired of arguing against me and will give up, therefore I win”. That’s your approach. We’ve all told you in a dozen different ways how the show objectively was not bad, and certainly did not “suck”. Just because you didn’t enjoy the programming as someone who hates all things pop culture does not mean the other hundreds of millions of Americans felt the same.If Netflix picks up the Colbert show I’ll come and post an admission that I’m wrong.
until then we will have to assume the show cancelled because it sucked.
it's being reported all over the placeWhere did you get the 40 mil loss?
wait, I thought that they agreed to a financial settlement in order to get a merger approved. They fired Colbert for the same reason?When you have to fire satirists who have made jokes about the President in order to get a merger approved by the government - that’s what real government censorship of the media looks like.
It can also be quantified. Losing $20 -$40 million a year means your show sucks.Sucked is subjective and an opinion no matter how you slice it, but cool
Literally was the very first thing I saw when it was announced. The fact they don’t know this tells you how biased the news they consume is. That information is all over the place.it's being reported all over the place
Someone shared, and I appreciated itit's being reported all over the place
None of those games come on at 11:30 at night when the majority of the population is asleep, and besides that, sports have a much wider audience than talk shows. Dumb comparison.It can also be quantified. Losing $20 -$40 million a year means your show sucks.
How many football games lose money on television? Golf tournaments? Basketball games?
What other tv shows do you know of that lose money and are great shows?
Great football players get cut every year because they cost too much.It can also be quantified. Losing $20 -$40 million a year means your show sucks.

not sure what point you're trying to make. The show lost $40 million a year. In reality if CBS just left the time slot empty they would be "making" money by not losing money. I assume that's at least one of the goals of CBS - make moneyNone of those games come on at 11:30 at night when the majority of the population is asleep, and besides that, sports have a much wider audience than talk shows. Dumb comparison.
Also, the network tv shows have huge overhead costs, including large staffs and house bands at a time that late night tv ad spending has been cut in half in recent years. In comparison, Gutfield comes on in primetime with no competition and has very low overhead costs, which likely makes it less un-profitable. That doesn't mean he doesn't suck and Colbert does because we're talking about two different models.
Not sure why I even bothered to waste my time explaining this to you because you're really just a massive board troll detached from reality, but whatever.
you can't really be this dense.wait, I thought that they agreed to a financial settlement in order to get a merger approved. They fired Colbert for the same reason?
Damn, Trump may be the world's best negotiator ever
My point would make perfect sense if you paid attention to the post I was responding to, meanwhile, your point is immaterial to the point we were discussing.not sure what point you're trying to make.

Correct because they weren’t as good as the other person. That is, they sucked.Great football players get cut every year because they cost too much.
Lemme guess the lawsuit against Fox that forces them to fire Tucker was legit, but the lawsuit against CBS was bogus.Maybe it was a business decision, but when you factor in Trump’s bogus law suit iin the MO of his mentor Roy Cohn and year to year quarter comparison variables?
lol these MAGAs love them some Russian plants. amazing.Lemme guess the lawsuit against Fox that forces them to fire Tucker was legit, but the lawsuit against CBS was bogus.
