The real reason Stephen Colbert was fired at CBS

He got fired because he wasn't funny and I think Gutfeld is technically the highest rated of the late night comedy shows, even though he's on a cable channel. Comedy Central Colbert was funny, CBS Colbert was an annoying Karen... or Caren.

That’s why you’re on “DraftKing Network” Lebaretard

The show was losing $40M a year.

Jeezus, you complain so much. Just go ahead and dye your hair already so we can have our already known "aha" moment.

That clip was boring. Maybe that's why he got fired.

#1 rated and what you failed to mention is that show is losing 40 mil a year.

Yikes. What an echo chamber.

Dan gets it wrong again

What a pathetic excuse for a man.

The show cost $100 million. It was losing 40-50. The spigot was turned off and the gig was up. This isn’t complicated

Lol, good riddance to that chump.

I literally do not know a single person that watches late night shows. YouTubers & podcasters reach far bigger audiences so what does it matter that he’s number one of a dead platform?

You’re too stupid to understand that when a company settles a lawsuit their attorneys always maintain innocence in public while behind the scenes pushing to settle because they’re fucked

Free speech absolutists have been quiet for six months now

Dan LeBatard is seriously retarded. Late night shows like Colbert’s are dead in the water. “Highest rated late night talk show”, but losing massive amounts of money. The pendulum swing is real, bitch.

1) Gutfeld's viewership far exceeds Colbert. 2) CBS edited the Kamala interview, it was deceptive, and 100% biased toward one candidate, networks have to offer equal unbiased time to all candidates, CBS put its finger on the scale to help tip the election, CBS was clearly wrong.

“Highest rated late night show” that is like saying the best smelling turd. Also wasn’t Gutfeld beating him?

A 200-person staff, including 20 writers. A $100 million dollar budget. A $15 million salary for Colbert. Loses $40 million a year. Ratings worse than 10,000 YouTubers - one person with a camera. The free market doesn't lie….

Highest rated Late Night Show means nothing anymore. No one watches and he is losing like 40’million dollars. Way too much staff. Stop crying Le Retard

Dan, being the #1 rated late night show doesn't mean the show isn't bleeding money. Reports are it loses 40M a year, so it certainly could be a financial decision. It's an antiquated format, stars have social media now, they will all likely be replaced with streamers/podcasters.

Or was that show just not good anymore? If it wasn’t for Trumps existence Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon would be unemployed. They aren’t funny and the shows only focus on bashing the orange man. All those shows have is going after Trump. It’s gotten old.

CBS lost $ 40 million dollars or more on that show

You have become an absolute predictable I’m boring talk show you’re one-sided agendas are so obvious and make you look so ridiculous. I once loved your show. Loved following you and your father and now I just cringe when I see you.

@grok is Colbert the highest rated late night show?

Having the highest ratings in a dying format and loses the company $40 million a year still means you gotta go. Also, Colbert is no Letterman or Carson come on now.

One other thing- they didn’t just fire Colbert, they ended the entire Late Show entity. If it was just about firing Colbert, they wouldn’t have ended the entire show, they would’ve brought in a new host. The show had become a monetary black hole, being #1 didn’t matter.

No one cares.

So you're saying he got fired to silence him and yet they are letting him continue to be on national television for the next 10 months?

Keep coping, you fat fuck. A show that loses tens of millions annually should not exist. Colbert used to be funny - just like your show used to be. We don’t come to late night or sports shows for pompous, out-of-touch politcal takes. Get over yourself

TDS is everywhere, folks. Just follow the brain rot.

Late night shows used to be funny. He is not funny at all.

Dipshit the show had a staff of 200 and was losing 40+ million a year.

Two things can be true, it can be the highest rated show and still lose the company money -40-50 million... Plus they want to sell the theater they film the show in
