The Fall of Colbert: A Cautionary Tale of Late-Night Politics

Stephen Colbert’s tenure on The Late Show has drawn to a close, not with the fanfare expected of a long-running late-night staple, but rather with the muted tones of financial discontent. The root causes of this decline can be boiled down to two primary factors: Colbert’s overt political bias against Trump and the subsequent fallout that alienated viewers and advertisers alike. CBS reportedly incurred losses exceeding $40 million annually due to this misalignment.

In essence, the show’s demise wasn’t merely a political issue; it was a straightforward arithmetic problem.

If CBS reduced Colbert’s salary from $20m to $0, the show would still be losing $20m per year. How in the hell was he not let go earlier?

Conspiracy Theories and Political Praise

In the wake of the show’s cancellation, some Democrats have resorted to conspiracy theories, suggesting that the axing stemmed from Colbert’s critical stance on Trump. If this were indeed the case, one might wonder why the show wasn’t canceled much earlier.

Moreover, the accolades pouring in for Colbert from Democratic figures seem to inadvertently highlight the show’s failure to resonate with a broader audience, as it became increasingly aligned with party politics.

Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king. pic.twitter.com/L9EzYzU5IE

Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less. pic.twitter.com/nFMnbwfhWR

The news of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show cancellation is disheartening. I’ve been fortunate to appear on @colbertlateshow four different times. Each time, Stephen asked important questions and made sure to make us laugh. pic.twitter.com/ChXjVtblvn

Stephen Colbert is a brilliant host and an even better person. I always loved being on The Late Show, and our most difficult and memorable interview was broadcast live from the Capitol the night of Jan. 6. pic.twitter.com/xRmuCNiPJC

The Conspiracy Continues

As the discourse unfolds, the conspiracy theories continue to flourish:

CBS’s billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late-night host, slams the deal. Days later, he’s fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like – where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime. pic.twitter.com/qxWJ7hqBsE

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:

– Trump sued CBS
– CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
– Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
– Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval https://t.co/GRxxKFzkII

Facing Reality

Yet, the reality remains unacknowledged by many: Colbert’s departure was not a consequence of external forces but rather the result of a series of choices that alienated viewers and rendered the show financially untenable. In doing so, he not only jeopardized his own career but also tarnished the legacy of the once revered Late Show brand originally established by David Letterman.
