Already has. Instead of a $20m annual loss running Colbert, they’ve made instant profit by selling the 2hr slot to Byron Allen outright. So they make money whatever the ratings, and don’t have to pay for the content.
Craig Ferguson during his stand-up tour talking about his CBS cancellation... "They kept telling me, 'watch your weight, watch your accent'. And what'd they do - use an even fatter guy with an even worse-er accent."

i'm sure canceling the only shows on their networks anyone actually still watches (as pathetic as those rating are now) will work out wonders for them

What kind of fight do you expect us to put up when they've stacked the deck for decades?

I'm hoping Colbert will start a podcast, so he can do and say what he wants to, without the constraints.

I like the way he's toying with the suggestion of running for president.

He’s only in his early sixties, not old enough for President 😏

LOLz ok but seriously we all know that the minimum legal age to run for US presidency is 35
lepinkainen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 129d
Then go for people closer to 35 than 80?
