Description

In response to CBS’s announcement that Stephen Colbert’s late night talk show had been canceled, Jon Stewart railed against the network and its parent company, Paramount, accusing them of prioritizing an $8 billion merger with Skydance and political appeasement over the value of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Stewart argues that the decision was more political than economic, although he admits that the Colbert show was not cost-effective and outdated, comparing it to Blockbuster Video and Tower Records. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Stewart’s diatribe, noting that he has long played the role of establishment insider pushing dominant narratives about the Ukraine War, COVID and any number of other topics.

Colbert gets canceled, South Park gets 1.5 billion. Moral? Be funny. It's not rocket science.

Colbert's pitch or propaganda was to reinforce the idea that he/his viewers were smarter than the opposition. Dude is the definition of government propaganda.

Losing 50 million a year to piss off half the country is a bad investment. Skydance probably told them no.

America got tired of being preached at by elites. Late Night Shows were particularly preachy and annoying. It’s this simple.

If they made advertising pharmaceuticals illegal like the rest of the world then all of these shows would dry up and go away
