Who in the hell at Paramount greenlights a show that losses this much money that's nothing more than a daily platform for DNC propaganda?
I'd be incredibly pissed if I was a shareholder at Paramount.

AND the question is - Why did it take this long to fire this malcontent, progressive, leftist? This show has been a dumpster fire for a few years…

The man who was once the poster child of success at Comedy Central, turned into a $40M/year loss at XiBS.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you more tangible evidence of the negative effects of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

USAID isn't making up the gap for them anymore, so the show's gotta go!

How much of that $40 million was covered by USAID?

They've lied so much through the years, Idk it that is true anymore. How far back do the lies go?

WNBA would want a raise.

We'll it's my understanding - 10 years ago, it was a bank market. Now, it is heavily competitive (with other expensive shows and liberal hosts) fighting for the same, but dropping, progressive market share. Add to this, ad revenue is down bigly. Some have wondered if that ad revenue isn't tied to USAID.
Regardless, my brother has been hoping for this day for a long time - whoever it is footing the bill is walking.
And I ABSOLUTELY love it.
Hope it happens to Stewart, Kimmel, and others who have become so overtly political over the years. I mean imagine, you are a show in NY City and you've had Elizibeth Warren on live, almost a dozen and a half times.

I think you’re on to something. There is definitely some shenanigans afoot which need to be investigated. I thought it was strange why so many leftists shills were melting down about the cancellation . They are circling the wagons and framing the narrative as a defensive posture.

Who are you to tell them how to run their business?

Certain shows are considered a loss leader for various reasons.
I’m sure that ABC takes a hit on Kimmel but that, in turn, the corporate synergy of using Kimmel as a spotlight for a bunch of their shows which do make money, such as Bachelor and Bachelorette, help generate publicity which offsets some losses.
Trying to get that kind of visibility without having your own late night show may end up being a problem for them, which is why they may accept SOME level of loss for late night.

Wonder how much DOGE helping to cancel large governmental “subscriptions” with the media has caused them to look at profit numbers.
Government was subsidizing the woke media to keep woke commendations in the air/in print.

Paramount posted a $6.1 billion loss for 2024 a 900+% increase in net loss over 2023. 2025 is looking equally as gloomy for them. Losing $50 million isn't in the cards anymore for a Paramount owned company, even if you're positioning it as a loss-leader.
With the viewership of Colbert stalling out around 2.2 million viewers with a downward trend, you can't keep committing resources. This is especially true when your loss leader is losing so much that it's taking a significant bite out of the profits of your shows that are earning money.

If I could just get some of these (bad) actors to cry for me...
