Its dying fast. The Late Show was just cancelled because it was a massive thorn to the POTUS.


I love a good “POTUS” conspiracy as much as the next guy but The Late Show cancelation is a simple money game, the show was bleeeding money. If the show was profitable the chance of it being cancelled are same as me dating Beyonce


Technically yes, but the money game was CBS losing a massive lawsuit to POTUS.


I would agree with this if this was factual, the money cbs paid via 60 minutes nonsense is same if you were fined a dime for something you did today. so not “massive” but whatever is the exact opposite of massive

The show itself was losing viewership cause who the F watches late night TV these days?


is said late night TV actually expensive though? they have a payong audience, and the whole thing is an ad for whoever is selling a book or movie release.

whats gonna replace that slot that people are gonna watch? a blank screen?


if you have a car that is a money pit you and your family keep bleeding money on to make repairs, would you keep making repairs or get another car? all of TV is a simple money game, shows get canceled, new ones spruce up, they get canceled, some are super successful but run their course, others stink from the get-go. what is going to replace the late show? not sure but whatever it does it better make money for cbs or the same faith awaits it


Interesting, do you have a source for that claim? Mallen Baker [1] says it was gaining viewers.

It's both. A merger is happening in two weeks and this helps. It was going off of the air in a year or two anyways. Easy way to give Trump a win.
