That’s about it. See ya

great bread, anon

>>510846957 (OP)
Wait Colbert announced he is retiring?

>>510847215
yes and sam hyde wigged out when harland said to build a nigger nest, and a ceo got caught feeling up an hr grandma

>>510846957 (OP)
is moist sports something sexual?

>>510847215
Yes, his show is officially cancelled and he's going into retirement. Turns out that the heavily right-leaning audience that is what makes up all late night television viewership doesn't want an 11th year of listening to Colbert talk about how much he hates orange man.

>>510846957 (OP)
Watch this movie

>>510846957 (OP)
This guy (Charlie) is proof that luck exists. He’s mid in every aspect, his looks, his takes, his energy, etc
But he’s a standout

>>510846957 (OP)
Why is this board so obsessed with jewish e-celebs.
Wasn't this kike exposed for raping and grooming kids like 2 days ago?
I hope his chris chan tier shithole collapses on him

>>510847515
Yeah luck to happen upon the right people. Not luck like he's interesting at all and people latched onto him. His family probably knows someone or something important.

>>510847215
Show was cancelled. Lost $40m per year

>>510846957 (OP)
NOPE. TOO MUCH FACE

>>510846957 (OP)
Colbert - 5'11" King of Manlets
Charlie - 5'2" proto-manlet

>>510846957 (OP)
He's literally jewish

I hate "beards" that clearly show the chin outline. If it's not thick enough to completely hide the skin underneath it looks pathetic.

>>510846957 (OP)
The only people I know who still watch “real” television are old women.

>>510848021
Caring about such frivolous things is likely why you’re a virgin

>>510846957 (OP)
Jews are fake and gay, it's a matter of time people won't care about (((their))) kvetching.

>>510846957 (OP)
Boomers I've often imagined probably seethe at the fact that millennials and onwards basically sidestepped their kiked system of entertainment.

>>510846957 (OP)
he's like 4'5". he already lost

>>510846957 (OP)
>legacy? Respected, but faded
>rhetorical question? subsequent quip
This is the Grok formula. Kill yourself in a painful way.
The solution? Don't talk like a smug faggot. Pry the question mark key from your keyboard.
Your response? Assmadness, assuredly.

Why is Charlie even popular? He was only funny like 8 years ago when he played games and shit now he's an annoying little sanctimonious reddit fag.

>>510846957 (OP)
Total Charlie Victory

>>510846957 (OP)
tl;dr but charlie is cool

>>510847957
Hes an Amerimutt with little bit of everything

Is there any reputable source for Colbert's show actually losing 40m per year?
They have a staff of about 200, even taking away colbert's own pay of 15m per year, 25mil/200 people means everyone is making 125G a year pre-tax.
They'd have to make literally 0 revenue to piss that amount of money away.
I'd just like a link at a bare minimum.

>>510850293
this he was better before, drama shit killed his channel

>>510847197
So glad he decided to take a break from scissoring to post it

>>510847957
Another one? Sounds like there may more of them than us

>>510847215
Well, you know. "Retired" / vaudeville hook. Potato / pahtahto.
