    My son made the point that no one is watching cable much anymore when they can go to YouTube. Colbert may make more $$$ that way.

    I love how people simply don't get what the first amendment means and think this has anything to do with it.

    He likely already does as far as viewer generation.

    I think I read that Fallon gets more views on YouTube than viewers live and that's because monologues and guest interviews are relatively short and work perfect on YouTube and people can pick what they want. Fallon actually plays to that audience.

    UNLESS, it's the government getting involved to shut someone up because they hurt their feelers.;)

    I don't think trump had anything to do with this though, even though he'll take credit.

    In the world of TDS all things emanate and are derived from Donald J Trump. It’s almost as though they’ve anointed him as….King, Emperor, Supreme Leader, or gasp, God.

    I love Nate's comedy. Especially the one that starts "My wife is the man of the house," and involves water heaters. His deadpan delivery is a relief from the screamers and screechers.

    No matter what side you are on, the show got way too political but the bottom line is money and the show was losing millions. The reasons are declining ad revenue and the high cost of production. Plus, late night TV is not necessarily profitable for streaming platforms especially Colbert’s show which leans heavily on current events that provide little shelf life. It’s too bad but probably won’t be the last late night TV show axed.

    Wait, did Biden's doctor plead the fifth because of client patient privilege? Yet... vaccines were forced on the world population because why? Sorry for the tangent, duggers_dad.

    When I'd sleep over at my aunt's house I'd try to stay awake for Carson, but I always fell asleep. I think I was about 7 years old.
