>>510716794>Who? Why is this guy relevant?He was a Broadcast TV host of a talk show on one of the three major broadcast channels in the USA.
The late show aired at 11:30PM after the later evening news, and was considered one of the โMajorโ talk shows on TV.
The โLate Showโ was on CBS, and competed with โThe Tonight Showโ which for decades had been the major Evening talk show.
Stephen Colbert took over from David Letterman, who had previously been on an even later TV talk show on NBC, the other major broadcaster who aired a late night talk show.
On NBC, Leterman had had the 12:30AM talk show time slot after โThe Tonight Showโ, whose host was originally Johnny Carson.
When Carson retired, Jay Leno was given the position as host of the Tonight Show, do Letterman left and went to CBS, which then had a competitor to โThe Tonight Showโ after years of failing in the format.
Basically, changes in viewing habits, snd the awfulness of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, killed a major Franchise that had existed for a few decades.
