I hope Kimmel gets his ass back in town next week, I think this is the
third week he's been away and I don't care about watching the guest
hosts at all. Usually I only watch the monologue plus the first guest
if it's someone interesting.

CBS to Cancel 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert'
Citing 'Financial Decision'

"Financial decision" ...
translation: greedy-ass Stephen Colbert wanted a lot more money and
we're not paying.
  CBS to Cancel 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert'
  Citing 'Financial Decision'
  ----------------------------------------------
  TV's ongoing problems with late night have come for Stephen Colbert,
  with CBS announcing Thursday that it plans to end his "Late Show"
  after the next TV season, citing a "financial decision."
  The maneuver - which ends years of original late-night programming
  at CBS that started when the network lured David Letterman from NBC
  in 1993 - comes as the economics of wee-hours TV have begun to
  accelerate, with media companies growing wary of the high price tags
  involved in producing the shows while the young viewers they try to
  attract watch more of them via digital video.
  "We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire 'The Late
  Show' franchise" in May of 2026, CBS executives said in a statement.
  "We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast
  will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night
  television.  This is purely a financial decision against a
  challenging backdrop in late night.  It is not related in any way to
  the show's performance, content or other matters happening at
  Paramount."
  Colbert, who was informed of the network's decision Wednesday
  evening, according to a person familiar with the matter, told the
  audience at the taping for Thursday's broadcast about the matter.
  "It is a fantastic job. I wish somebody else was getting it," he
  quipped, while offering thanks to CBS executives and the 200 or so
  staffers who work on his program.
  Audience members booed. ""Yeah, I share your feelings," said Colbert.
  "It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of 'The Late
  Show' on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away."
  There has been growing speculation that both Colbert and Jon Stewart,
  who hosts one broadcast of Comedy Central's "Daily Show" each week,
  could be under growing scrutiny from executives at Skydance Media,
  which is slated to acquire Paramount Global, the parent of both CBS
  and Comedy Central. David Ellison, who leads Skydance, has projected
  an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President
  Donald Trump, who Colbert and Stewart routinely skewer in monologues
  and commentary.
  Indeed, Senator Adam Schiff, the California Democrat, took to social
  media Thursday after taping a "Late Show" broadcast and said: "If
  Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the
  public deserves to know. And deserves better."
  CBS has already been winding down its activity around midnight. The
  network recently cancelled "After Midnight," a companion program
  that aired after "Late Show" and featured comedian Taylor Tomlinson.
  She decided to leave to focus on her own stand-up, even though CBS
  had sought a third season of the show.
  It's no secret among staffers and executives associated with late
  night that the business of the format has been in decline. Young
  people are the very consumers jumping first to new streaming
  behaviors that are less tied to watching programs at a specific time
  and date. Hosts like Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert continue
  to generate headlines and digital memes and still build sizable live
  audiences that the networks- and their distributors and advertisers
  - covet. But less so, and the ranks of the hosts have narrowed in
  recent years. So too have episodes of the shows. None of the medium's
  regular hosts holds forth on Fridays any longer, with Fallon's
  "Tonight" the last to give up the fifth night of the week.
  Still, CBS' decision has puzzled others in the industry. The exit of
  a popular late-night host is the kind of thing that might be
  announced during "upfront" meetings with advertisers in May, so as to
  boost interest in the program for its last year on air. Indeed,
  Johnny Carson unveiled his decision to leave NBC's "Tonight Show" at
  a presentation to advertisers in 1991. David Letterman was celebrated
  at one of CBS' regular upfront spectacles at Carnegie Hall, a decision
  that helped whet appetites for his last few months on "Late Show."
  Some networks with a big hand in the late-night game continue to gain
  support for their shows. NBC wooed Allstate, T-Mobile and several
  other big-spending advertisers to bolster the recently completed 50th
  season of "Saturday Night Live." The network is trying to do the same
  thing with a new program featuring "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon
  called "On Brand" that has him trying to help market popular products.
  Colbert will next year wind up a colorful run. When he took over "Late
  Show" in 2015, he had to navigate a new role. He was no longer the
  bloviating conservative character he portrayed on Comedy Central. He
  had to instead find ways to be his authentic self, even though he had
  not revealed such a persona to the public in the past. His first
  months were riddled with scrutiny, and comparisons to the "Late Late
  Show" led by James Corden that reveled in games and skits. But Colbert
  turned a corner in 2016 when he hosted an Election Night special on
  Showtime and had to entertain a live New York crowd that stared in
  disbelief at results showing that Donald Trump would triumph over
  Hillary Clinton.
  Colbert found his footing that night, and decided to lean heavily
  into pointed humor about current events. His ratings surged and "Late
  Show" has often been TV's most-watched late night program.
  Is CBS averse to ratings? Or is the money it costs to get them just
  too dear at a time when streaming video is taking more of traditional
  TV's audience away? CBS has opted to fill its now-empty 12:30 a.m.
  slot with old repeats of a syndicated comedy roundtable from media
  entrepreneur Byron Allen? What will the network do to replace "The
  Late Show"?

The whole lot of the current crop of late night hosts should be fired
for their sheer smarminess. Colbert, Stewart, Kimmel, and the rest. Get someone genuinely funny like Craig Ferguson who has fun with his guests instead of trying to lecture the audience on what their politics should
be. That's *my* prescription for fixing late night TV.

Yes, but...
Yes, late night is now dead because someone thought it was a keen idea
to make all the late night hosts ultra-woke, reactionary, Democrat
partisans. (To be fair, I don't really think that's true of Jimmy
Fallon, who seems more like an "everyman-drunk comic". But it's true of
all the rest.) And replacing most of those with at least non-partisan
(or bi-partisan) hosts would help.
But the truth is that late-night TV talk shows were destined to die
anyway. They were originally a product of the "three network universe",
and really have no reason to survive in the "post-500 channel TV
streaming universe".
If something like "The Soup" can't even survive these days (and it looks
like YouTube and TikTok pretty much killed that), then the late-night
talk shows have no hope of surviving! even if they were depoliticized.

No, the slovenly mother of the slovenly Kardashian whores killed the soup. She asked the head of the channel to get them to leave her fat pig
daughters alone and they buckled and asked Joel. And Joel said that if his own channel wasn’t fair game, then it was over, and he shut down the soup. Because of the fat pigs scum garbage Kardashian whores.

That's what killed it on E!.
But Joel took what was basically an R-rated version of "The Soup" to
Netflix. It died after 1 season of just a couple of months of episodes.
That tells me that a show like that won't work anymore - I think there
are too many YouTube copycats for a show like that now.

The whole lot of the current crop of late night hosts should be fired
for their sheer smarminess. Colbert, Stewart, Kimmel, and the rest. Get >someone genuinely funny like Craig Ferguson who has fun with his guests >instead of trying to lecture the audience on what their politics should
be. That's *my* prescription for fixing late night TV.
