COLBERT WAS PROFITABLE

The Colbert Cancellation: Dishonest Incompetence

Happy Summer Peaceniks. Ready to get canceled?

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS has been the #1 late night show on TV for nine consecutive years. Last week, Colbert broadcast his last show. Because CBS canceled TV’s most-watched late night program.

The last edition of Colbert’s talk show scored the biggest audience in the show’s history. The catalyst for Colbert’s firing, the sitting president of the United States, the world’s most powerful man, in the middle of an escalating war and a major legislative crisis, celebrated the death of the late night institution, with a social media post, at 2 am in the morning, in which he also threatened other late night comedians.
