>Fired Stephen Colbert Hits Back at Donald Trump With Three Profane Words
>Stephen Colbert may have been fired by CBS. But he is making it very clear that he’s not done with his presidential nemesis yet.
>“Folks, I’m just going to go ahead and say it: Cancel culture has gone too far,” Colbert said at the top of his Monday monologue, saying that it really started to “sink in” over the weekend that The Late Show would really be ending next May. “But they made one mistake,” he said dramatically. “They left me alive!”
>“On Friday, Donald Trump posted, ‘I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,’” the host added.
>Trump’s post came in response to Colbert announcing Thursday that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been canceled. The franchise, which began with David Letterman in 1993, will end for good next May after its upcoming season.
>“How dare you, sir?” Colbert responded to Trump. “Would an ‘untalented’ man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?”
>Colbert turned to a different camera, labeled “Eloquence Cam,” and declared: “Go f--- yourself.”
>The message was met with cheers and applause from the audience, who started chanting “Stephen! Stephen!” in approval.
>At another point, the host called into question CBS’ assertion that canceling his show was a “purely financial decision.”
>“But how could it be purely a financial decision if The Late Show is No. 1 in the ratings?” he asked. “Yeah, it’s confusing. A lot of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff’s parents and spouses.”

Did drumpf really think that Colbert is going to take this lying down? Every other network is probably scrambling to get Colbert on contract right now. Mark my words: his ratings will be the best ever once he gets rehired by a network that doesn't kowtow to the orange overlord.

16:40 shows Jon Liebowitz's response. He calls out CBS for bribing Trump while their parent company needs government approval for a merger. Before that is just audio of Trump saying he's fine with fucking teenagers, but 12 is too young.

His downfall had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with that anti-videogame whore he hosted in late 2014 during Gamergate.
Everything after that was just delaying the inevitable.

Such a pitty too, since he used to be genuinely funny during Bush, and a little also during Obama I.

I would say 2015 was when that happened. With the advent of Trump all of TV became completely untenable to watch for someone that just wanted information or to just unwind after work (most critical market for TV) and just became the 'always angry all the time' medium. Late night comedians pushing their ideals as the soul focus instead of using it to enhance their act was their end.

it realy started in 2014. Trump in 2015 was really just a meme. Back then, many people here did much more "for teh lulz" than today. Nothing was taken too seriously. Least of us ourselves.
I really, really miss those times.
But Gamergate woke everyone up. Suddenly nerds "like us" emerged but were corrupted in some way. Using the means of technology against us.
I never really liked the pseudo-stormfront of /pol/ 11 years ago, and even today I dislike it. Unfortunately all other boards turned out to be even more comped than this here. So I stayed.
But the internet really changed in 2014, maybe even more than it changed after the "eternal september" back in 1992.

2014 was the preamble and the last time that old media was truly in a form of control. Trump was a meme born out of frustration, and the media's attempt to sink Trump grew that frustration into serious intention.

CBS gave him the option to do the fake Republican character for the Late Show
he would have Trump supporters unironically watching him, and Democrats ironically watching him

he would easily be pulling millions of views beating even Gutfeld

but he really couldn't help himself from becoming the seething liberal that he is

my favorite OG Colbert moment is when he randomly busted into a racist asian accent unscripted and called himself Ching Chong Ding Dong

Gutfeld comfortably gets well more than 3 million viewers, while Colbert barely cracks 2 million

but the fact that Colbert is on free broadcast TV and Gutfeld is on paid-only cable really shows how dire the ratings are for Late Night shows

millions of people would rather pay ot watch a talk show on Fox News than to watch any of the free broadcast TV late night show

FYI Jay Leno would comfortably get like 6 million viewers on average
the fact that Colbert barely pulls 1/3 of that and is considered #1 is such a joke
