Its dying fast. The Late Show was just cancelled because it was a massive thorn to the POTUS.
- bdangubic 1y agoI love a good “POTUS” conspiracy as much as the next guy but The Late Show cancelation is a simple money game, the show was bleeeding money. If the show was profitable the chance of it being cancelled are same as me dating Beyonce
- 1970-01-01 1y agoTechnically yes, but the money game was CBS losing a massive lawsuit to POTUS.
- bdangubic 1y agoI would agree with this if this was factual, the money cbs paid via 60 minutes nonsense is same if you were fined a dime for something you did today. so not “massive” but whatever is the exact opposite of massive The show itself was losing viewership cause who the F watches late night TV these days?
- 8note 1y agois said late night TV actually expensive though? they have a payong audience, and the whole thing is an ad for whoever is selling a book or movie release. whats gonna replace that slot that people are gonna watch? a blank screen?
- bdangubic 1y agoif you have a car that is a money pit you and your family keep bleeding money on to make repairs, would you keep making repairs or get another car? all of TV is a simple money game, shows get canceled, new ones spruce up, they get canceled, some are super successful but run their course, others stink from the get-go. what is going to replace the late show? not sure but whatever it does it better make money for cbs or the same faith awaits it
- mulmen 1y agoInteresting, do you have a source for that claim? Mallen Baker [1] says it was gaining viewers. [1]: https://youtu.be/KMLZAE4okWs https://youtu.be/KMLZAE4okWs
- ipaddr 1y agoIt's both. A merger is happening in two weeks and this helps. It was going off of the air in a year or two anyways. Easy way to give Trump a win.
