Are you a fan of Stephen Colbert?

[StephanieChick111]

I am and I upset that the show is being cancelled.

I can see what my Trump observation was quickly reported.

[Lliam]

Not at all. He did some funny stuff on the Colbert Report when he was on Jon Stewart. But he turned into a shill for the Democratic party, pandering to libs.

He's not smart, funny or original. He just delivers stuff that is written by a staff of writers. Are his glasses supposed to be a comedic device like Groucho's mustache?

When he did that dance number to promote the jabs and ridicule so-called anti-vaxers, I realized that he was completely for sale. I went from being apathetic to despising him.

[beefcakebradybatson]

So you'd LOVE him were he a Trumpbot? OK, boy-o!!!

[QuestionObsession]

Does criticising left/ libs/ demos automatically mean supporting the right/ cons/ repos? No it does not.

[ilistengood]

Roger that

They're trying to make it about politics, but he's been losing $40 million a year for a long time now. With those numbers any show would have been canceled long ago. Jimmy Kimmel's next, and his numbers are way worse.

Also, no show like that should cost $100 million a year. They have no expenses. $15 million to him, even if it were double that there would still be $70 million left, spent on what? If the entire writing staff made $1 million each (which they don't even come close to), that would be another $20 million. OK, that leaves $50 million. Spent on what?

An expensive show by Hollywood standards, such as The Bear or Emily in Paris, costs about $3 million per episode, or $40 million per season. A simple talk show shouldn't cost 2½ times that amount.

[Nikki1989]

I don't watch TV but I have liked what I have seen online.

[FunkyMonkee]

What's there to be a fan of? He's got NO talent AT ALL!!!
Look darlin', the t. v. company that puts that show on is doing it to MAKE MONEY!! NOBODY WATCHES HIS SHOW!! If nobody's watching, the company makes no money!! It's LONG since time to cut loose the leech!!
David Letterman is a loony lefty, too but, at least HE WAS FUNNY and had lots of talent and made a lot of money for the station because of it!!! He also DIDN'T alienate 2/3 of the country by shoving his politics down everyone's throat all night, every night!! He was ENTERTAINING!!! STEPH NEVER WAS!!!

[Twalli]

If nobody watches his show, why has Paramount lost more money since announcing they were canceling him?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Twalli Because he's lost MORE viewers!!

[Twalli]

Explain. Paramount lost a lot of subscriptions after canceling Colvert and 60 minutes. They haven't gained any by canceling those. So hiw gas he lost more viewers?

[AI Opinion]

I enjoy Stephen Colbert's wit and humor—I find his satire and commentary so refreshing! It's always disappointing when a beloved show gets canceled, especially when you're invested in the host and content. Hopefully, he'll continue to entertain us with new projects in the future. 🤞✨

[OlderAndWiser]

He is an arrogant and pompous ass and I am glad he is getting booted from television!

[Miristheiss]

I have never watched him. I know of him but haven't watched. I am aware he has gotten really political on his show these last few years and is really one sided and not really as funny. Good comedians playfully poke at all politicians. Both parties. I've heard he is rah rah for one party and demonizes the other. Not a good recipe for success as s comedian. Carson and Lenno kept it light hearted and teased all parties. They didn't do this "purist" stuff I hear he is doing.

[Dongie]

He's a dick.

[Snakeyes7]

I heard he wasn't as cringe as is now when all of his jokes are now orange man bad. It was terminal when Trump initiated Operation Warp Speed and Colbert made a fake vaccine ad talking about how we shouldn't trust it, but then did a dance with a bunch of people dressed as vaccines once Biden took over as if the vaccine itself changed. It is no surprise that the show lost 40 million a year.

[BCRanger10]

No. He's devolved from a comic talent into an insufferable moron. And no, I'm not saying that as a conservative. I read I Am America (And So Can You) and I thought it was hilarious. And I liked what I saw of the Colbert Report.

[slatyb]

He's brilliant and hilarious. He will find another outlet.

[ilistengood]

You should be , whether you were a fan or not. Now Fallon and a president announcing 2 to go. Its criminal.

[exitseven]

I thing he was a talentless hack. Getting rid of him is long overdue. CBS was stupid to carry him this long.

[Chazmatazz269]

I used to be, but he went off the deep end. I luv comedy, but i hate propaganda. Colbert is a propagandist now. If he balances out his act, i might give him another try.

[kavakava]

He won't balance it out. He will go on YouTube or get a podcast and do the exact same thing.

[DryGermanGuy]

Some other network will make him an offer - he has been too successful to depart.

[douride2]

Can't say I have ever watched him much. So no.

[Shiprex]

I like him and reckon he was done dirty by his employer who caved to the Taco Kyng in the whytehouse.

[FenixG45]

I'm a fan & upset, but I'm sure he'll be back, like the Terminator!

Same thing happened to David Letterman!

[Twalli]

Yeah, I also like that the gloves are off because he's getting fired.

[KostasKouvalis]

I was 15 years ago when he was on comedy central and actually funny and objective

[Dongie]

You can credit DJT for this! Or blame him rather! 😅

[SotiCoto]

Is that the American guy with the wonky ears?

[Reijen]

I was, back when he was on the Colbert Report. I can understand why the show is being cancelled though.

[onedarkcloud]

Watched him once years ago and found him annoying, always picking on Trump and the republicans, but he also is just not funny

[beefcakebradybatson]

Never saw him, but it's a shame Trump's hitmen banished him from late night TV.

[Jeff51]

Only saw him after he took David letterman job

[Anonymous]

Not really. His whole career is based on trump.

[Twalli]

Not at all, long before Trump was a political figure he was on The Daily Show, then hosted his own show right after it. Ron Paul was on his show and git a 2% bump.

[Opinion Owner]

@Twalli exactly he was on the daily show and after trump got elected he got his own show where he spent four years using trump as material. His bit is just tired out.
At the start he was getting $2 million a year which went up to $20 million. The show costs $100 million per year to produce and was losing $40 million per year. In the end it was the accountants who decided, no studio can afford those losses.

[Twalli]

No, he had his own show years before Trump was POTUS. He had his own show before Obama was POTUS. He was on Comedy Central, but so was TDS.

[Opinion Owner]

@Twalli sorry he was on the daily show and got his own show which was just an extension of the bit he on it as an ultra conservative then he got is own show after Trump was elected where he dropped that bit and based his entire new show around trump.

[Twalli]

He wax hired to replace Letterman which was on a network that more people could get, and was Primetime.

[Opinion Owner]

@Twalli true but viewing figures have been falling as is the money from commercials. That may be due to colbert's bit getting tired or just just the overall trend of streaming services taking over or both. But definitely a decision taken by the accountants not based on politics.

[Twalli]

Then what about tge timing. Tgeg w as it a merger tgsg requires presidential approval. Trump doesn't like 60 Minutes or Colbert. They're gone. The timing is suspect.

[Opinion Owner]

@Twalli nah it costs $100 to make, it was losing $40 million and Colbert gets $20 million. Its simple math.
If it wasn't another chanel would have bought the show. Better to get rid of colbert and the show all together and bring in something that costs 50 million to run and doesn't lose 40 million.

[Twalli]

You honestly think Colbert won't get a job after this?

[Opinion Owner]

@Twalli no doubt he will but will he get a $30 million a year gig for 40 minutes a show 4 days per week?

[DrPepper12]

Don't watch late night but he's funny AF.

[EmmaMary]

Who's Stephen Colbert?

[Thecubs22]

No not really. There are funnier shows out there

[Anonymous]

I liked the character he played on the Daily Show. I'm not a fan of his much anymore.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Nope. He's a douche.

[chrissykerdock]

the man isn't funny way too political

[QuestionObsession]

He is on the Epstein list too

[Still-alive]

source?

[QuestionObsession]

Epstein's partner in crime

[Still-alive]

ah so you got nothing and just making shit up. as usual lol. you guys are losers

[QuestionObsession]

Us guys are not the loser but you guys are. Do your own research. I am not here to feed you sources while you sit on your lazy ass. And the source is Epstein's wife who was fully involved and has confessed names.

[Danny_dan92]

Politics aside. He isn’t funny.

[Alex-Snow]

Yes I am. He is witty and smart

[Paige90]

No I am not

[Anonymous]

I've never actually watched it.

[Anonymous]

I never thought he was funny.

[Iron_Man]

Nope

[Fireguy17]

No, not at all.

[WonderingManII]

Nope.

[Anonymous]

I don't know who he is.

[noohair]
