Carson kept his job for 30 years. Colbert didn't quite make it that far. What we learn from this is that having a small audience and not making a profit along with annoying half of your possible audience isn't a winning strategy.
Maybe the next guy will have a better format and better writers.

Colbert is 11 years younger than Carson when he retired..

Colbert has been doing a late night talk show for 20 years already..

So interesting…. Paramount who owns South Park did a 5 year deal for 1.5 billion 300 per year… for 10 episodes per year for a total of 50

The google says it costs 100 million per year for the late show and does 80-160 episodes per year and has 40% more viewers

To say it is a financial decision is stupid or full of shit or both

Well, the merger is approved.

The quid has been pro quoed

It's only quid pro quo if someone hands a cartoon-style bag of money over that says "bribes" and the bribee turns to the camera and says "I'm taking this money in exchange for performing this official action." Otherwise, it's just run-of-the-mill corruption that we can't possibly police per SCOTUS, lest someone's "gift" RV from their "good friend" suddenly be repossessed.

Sounds like they might sue for saying the syphilitic orange menace has a tiny dick..

White House blasts ‘South Park’ for disparaging Trump’s manhood​


Can't go back on the merger now, or can they?
Plus South Park signed a 30 episode, 1.5B deal.

He can sue all he likes. It'll probably turn out to be a big nothingburger because he'll chicken out before discovery and depositions, just like when he sued Michael Cohen.

The discovery would be epic since truth is a defense against slander.

Mr President please disrobe so we can measure your flaccid and erect penis for the record.

Trump despises free speech & will attempt to squash it by any means necessary (including using his leverage) like any good dictator would do. Donald Trump is most likely the first President in U.S. history to go after late night comics for making fun of him. A normal human being would just ignore people they don't like. Not Trump. He is so weak and childish he has to lash out and threaten people. And a big fuck you to CBS for not having the balls to stand up to this useless excuse of a President.

Shitlol

So Colbert was only a placeholder until they found a better host?! For 11 fucking seasons?!?!

JFC…
Yes. Leftist zombies will eat anything.

Colbert was not funny, comparing him to Carson or... practically anyone else, is a desperate fail. If he made your panties feel warm, it wasn't from comedic talent.

Will Colbert be remembered 10 years from now? Nope. Wait. What was his name again? ;) Bye bye rando.

You are good at irony and projection but I’ve never seen you post something funny so you’ll have to forgive me for thinking your opinion doesn’t mean shit.

Colbert sucked at entertainment, makes no difference what his political preferences were.

I'd rather watch paint dry, grass grow, etc, he was never anything other than a placeholder because they couldn't find a better host.

It's amusing when people try to equate this to a conspiracy when it's just terrible tv that wasn't self sustaining because no sane person would watch it instead of, again, paint drying, or grass growing.

Bye bye Colbert. I never missed you. I never give a fsck so just go away so late night has a chance of something worth watching. Comedy can be offensive at times, but it wasn't funny so double fail.


No argument = pathetic

Why bother? You should have better things to do. Triple fail if you don't.

#cantfixstupid

At the same time, I have better things to do than pretend that an argument in this forum matters, so if you want to rant and pretend it's a victory, I'm fine with that.
the best part of this ^ is that you are posting it, seemingly unaware of what you posted immediately before this. Do you MAGA simpletons have absolutely no shame and no self awareness anymore? :D

are you ever going to make an argument or just demand that others do, while crying your way back home?

why do you even bother? where does this hate for things that mean absolutely nothing to you come from?

who hurt you?

It's funny because you're projecting because nobody will remember you and that's upsetting to you.

Haha.
