As you now know, it's been announced that CBS's Late Show With Stephen Colbert is being canceled. Many Democrats are saying that the network is axing the show because of Trump, while in reality it's more of a ratings and money issue:
Josh Caplan (@joshdcaplan) ~ VARIETY: CBS to Cancel 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Citing 'Financial Decision'
Well, it's a financial decision because Stephen Colbert's show is neither funny or entertaining, which means his audience is pathetically small. A vicious circle of boredom.
CBS got tired of paying Colbert millions and millions of dollars a year to be an emotional support blankie for TDS-addled lefties while getting toasted by Gutfeld in the ratings? Go figure.
Stacey Abrams, the one-time rightful governor of Georgia who was never the actual governor of Georgia, had this to say about the Colbert cancellation:
Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) ~ 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.
Uh oh, ribit ... sounds like Colbert knew how to tickle the fancy of yer blackberry jelly roll!
That explains a lot ... just not in the way Abrams thinks.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ {Replying to @staceyabrams} Four appearances, huh? For a two-time failed gubernatorial candidate?! Do you think perhaps that says something about Colbert?
1967mustangman (@1967mustangman) ~ {Replying to @staceyabrams} You helped kill the show. My sincerest thanks.
Burt Macklin (@BurtMaclin_FBI) ~ {Replying to @staceyabrams} You probably got him cancelled like you did with the Atlanta all-star game.
Schadenfreudelish (@aggierican) ~ {Replying to @staceyabrams} Thanks for validating CBS' decision.
The fact that Colbert announced the cancellation on the same night Adam Schiff was on the show was also a nice touch.
