Report: Colbert and Stewart on Shaky Ground as Skydance-Paramount Merger Nears Completion
Report: Colbert and Stewart on Shaky Ground as Skydance-Paramount Merger Nears Completion - LateNighter
I have a feeling that if Colbert or Stewart are removed, their audience will follow them wherever they decide to go.
I love Jon but I did not follow him to Apple. I don't need another subscription. Also I felt vindicated when he quit because they suppressed his anti-China speech.
Yeah, I'd follow him anywhere that I already have access to, and likely no further. If he let's someone put up barriers around what he makes, that's on him. He can easily do his own thing anywhere and have an audience. He just might get paid less, though I'm certain he has more than enough money to live the rest of his life happily.
Colbert though I don't follow. He's smart and funny, but I watched The Late Show and just do not care for the format. If he decides to do something else then I'd give it a shot, but not that format.
I certainly didn't get an Apple subscription but I absolutely stopped watching The Daily Show. Even now I only watch the episodes he's on. And that's just on YouTube.
A good chunk at least. Shocking enough I am not a hardcore comedy central viewer.
Regardless of whether you like Colbert/Stewart, I don't know how you can't find this absolutely chilling. It makes me think of Steven Fry's character in V for Vendetta.
Colbert will probably be black bagged and taken to a death camp soon enough.
I don't find it chilling at all, mainly because I don't give a single flying fuck about Hollywood/TV drama.
Killing off shows critical of the president to get approval for a merger is a major first ammendment issue not "hollywood drama"
Where are the free speech warriors now?
hopefully getting ready to hang themselves over the epstein list
They already didn't renew After Midnight hard to believe thay is not related.
I believe that After Midnight wasn't renewed because Taylor Tomlinson was going back on tour and they decided to not continue without her.
That's correct, she said so on one of the episodes. A shame, but you can tell the last few months were stressful to say the least.
I found her personality on the show very unnatural. It was clear to me that she was doing and saying what she was told to, and everything was heavily scripted. She is not a fantastic actress. I couldn't watch more than a couple of episodes.
I'm pleased she is going back on tour, because that is where her particular wit and delivery really shine.
Yeah and she totally checked out - it's really obvious. She reads straight from the cue cards. She laughs contractually at the really bad forced jokes by actors who think they're funny. Clearly she hates the show now and feels it is a huge burden.
I can't blame her for not wanting to renew.
CBS has been losing money for years. Skydance is gunna rip the guts out of it and then flog it off to institutional investors.
Personally I like that Ellison is going to lose all of the talent in this acquisition.
I haven't watched these guys since the Bush era ended. Any highlights or cool things I should know or what-have-you?
Can’t believe anyone still takes these guys seriously. Good riddance.
Can you list even one legitimate reason why they shouldn't be taken seriously?
I haven't watched Colbert in a long time, just didn't much care for The Late Show being a more generic talk show. But I've been pleasantly surprised by how good The Daily Show still is with Stewart's return and the rest of the team, they've still got it.
Anytime I’ve watched Colbert’s show it’s clear that he is an egotistical holier than thou dude who doesn’t respect most of his guests. He doesn’t interview well.
On top of that, the format of nightly talk show means he’s always making the same or similar jokes, and always harping on the same things. It’s tiresome, even if I agree with a lot of it.
I can't believe you got piled on like that. I'm not an American but I occasionally watch clips from both of these people.
Colbert has gotten unfunny with same jokes again and again. And Stewart is enlightened centrist who spent more time blasting Biden than Trump.
Even daily show subreddit has comments agreeing with you.

Locking thread. Not interested in babysitting it anymore. It's nearly a day old.
