In 2024 2,568,000 viewers on average watched the late show with colbert
of those 2,568,000 only 281,000 were between 18-49 years old, aka, the only demo advertisers care about
>89% of colbert's audience is over 50
It wasn't political, the other late shows will end when their contracts run out with maybe fallon being the lone survivor and that's a maybe

>>212843996 (OP)
Why do advertisers continue to care about the half of adults who don't have any money or own homes?

>>212843996 (OP)
Isn't the visual style and format of a late night show anachronistic? It celebrates the rich sophisticated socialite of the 60s that lives in a penthouse. But these people neither exist anymore, if ever outside of fantasy, nor are they longer looked up to. Only people who were alive back then care about this.

>>212843996 (OP)
and we want more money in medicare, too!

>>212844309

My bad, asking a question during retarded foreigner hours. It's rubbing off.

Fuck Colbert, but he delivered the best numbers imaginable and I refuse to believe that CBS wasn't making bank on that show.

>>212844697
most of his audience are boomers. all of the late night shows are going to end soon, it's not profitable anymore

>show gets cancelled
>time to grift

Honestly, surprised Late Night shows still exist
Fells like a relic of the cable years

>>212844697
I believe that CBS wasn't making bank on that show. I believe Colbert alone was costing them millions and millions for no good reason

>>212844309
Because people who have money and own homes usually are not low-impulse-control credit-card-maxxing monkeys.

>>212844752
>late night show

>>212844725

Doesn't matter. They were still selling ads, getting revenue from youtube clips. etc. Young people aren't watching tv anyway. As I said, Colbert game the best numbers they could hope for.
>all of the late night shows are going to end soon, it's not profitable anymore
You're retarded. Most of the budget goes to the hosts salary. If they get a cheap host with decent numbers it will still work. The Tonight Show will never leave the airwaves and if Kimmel retired tomorrow ABC would sign Colbert.

>>212844760
>I believe that CBS wasn't making bank on that show. I believe Colbert alone was costing them millions and millions for no good reason
You sound illogical. A show with a very small budget (the only big expense is Colbert's salary, but he doesn't get what guys like Letterman, Leno or Carson got), on 4-5 nights a week. It made money

>>212844789
>Doesn't matter. They were still selling ads, getting revenue from youtube clips. etc. Young people aren't watching tv anyway. As I said, Colbert game the best numbers they could hope for.
no they weren't. advertisers only pay for the 18-49 demo. they refuse to pay for boomers. blame the model or whatever, but that's all they give a shit about
> Most of the budget goes to the hosts salary. If they get a cheap host with decent numbers it will still work. The Tonight Show will never leave the airwaves and if Kimmel retired tomorrow ABC would sign Colbert.
you clearly are a gay retard and you don't know what you are talking about. you think the boomer commercials pay well

>>212844821
>281,000 viewers per episode
lol no it didn't

>>212844752
>Honestly, surprised Late Night shows still exist

Before streaming, DVRs and on demand you watched what was on and the late show was kind of a comfy way to end the day.

Now you can watch whatever you want whenever you want and Hollywood happens to be particularly talent deprived so they don't even have many fun guests to interview. Add to that the fact that all the late night shows have turned into blatant Democrat party propaganda and there isn't much of an audience aside from Democrat boomers who are just used to their old routine.

>>212844827
>no they weren't. advertisers only pay for the 18-49 demo.
Are you fucking retarded? There are commercials for old people medicine, and Tom Selleck trying reverse mortgage their home. Yes the bigger money is in the 18-49, but old boomers have money and tv still persuades them.
>you clearly are a gay retard and you don't know what you are talking about. you think the boomer commercials pay well
Explain how I'm wrong, faggot. I didn't say they "pay well", I said they pay and the show overall is low budget (compared to most other modern tv shows) kys you fucking retard.

>>212844849
You're a dumb faggot. Go watch boomer tv. It's filled with ads for them. Those companies are paying for that ad space.
And 281,000 young people isn't bad. If a youtube channel could get 281,000 views everyday they would be a hit.

>>212844907
>There are commercials for old people medicine, and Tom Selleck trying reverse mortgage their home. Yes the bigger money is in the 18-49, but old boomers have money and tv still persuades them.
you don't know how advertising works, you shit eating retard. they aren't going to pay big bucks for magnium pi to steal your house. if they are just going to run boomer ads, they will run reruns of matlock
>Explain how I'm wrong,
because you eat shit and have sex with men and you have aids. there's no reason to pay for colbert when they can get similar numbers with the news or reruns
>>212844933
the magnum pi steals your house people don't pay nearly as much for ads as bounty. if you are just going to get boomers and run magnium pi ads you might as well just run fucking reruns. it's why nick is nonstop spongebob
jesus you zoomers are gay and retarded and you eat human shit

>>212844971
>you don't know how advertising works, you shit eating retard. they aren't going to pay big bucks for magnium pi to steal your house.
I never said they would, retard. But they are PAYING for that ad space. That money + a low cost show = profit. Holy fucking fuck.
>the magnum pi steals your house people don't pay nearly as much for ads as bounty
You're retarded. They set the price for ad space and companies buy time.

>>212844993
they are not paying enough to justify paying colbert you fucking retard. the tv station would make a larger profit running boomer reruns for nothing and running the same fucking ads than they would running colbert. advertisers only care about 18-49.
I get that you are gay, retarded, eat human shit and just got here off a boat, but running colbert wasn't profitable when 89% of his audience is boomers and he's only doing 281,000 in terms of people who the advertisers care about

>>212843996 (OP)
of course it is
cbs is just the first to get rid of all of their late night shows

>>212845065
it's not profitable. do you think Nick showing spongebob nonstop is political? or mtv just being reruns?

>>212845043
>they are not paying enough to justify paying colbert you fucking retard.
I said that the show is low cost except for Colbert's salary. ABC has no plans to cancel Kimmel, nor NBC Fallon or Seth Meyers. They are all making money. They got rid of Colbert because of the lawsuit.
> the tv station would make a larger profit running boomer reruns for nothing and running the same fucking ads than they would running colbert.
That's always been the case but they never did it. (this was a joke in the Larry Sanders Show on HBO).
> advertisers only care about 18-49.
Yet they still pay for ad space on TV shows (which almost nobody 18-35 watches)
It's amazing how fucking retarded you are.
> but running colbert wasn't profitable when 89% of his audience is boomers and he's only doing 281,000 in terms of people who the advertisers care about
So all these talk shows aren't profitable? If Colbert is #1 and not profitable then why haven't the other shows been axed? You also realize that almost every streaming show with the exception of maybe Stranger Things and Squid Game hasn't been profitable for the streaming service.
Retarded faggot.

>>212845120
>it's not profitable.
So when will NBC and ABC get rid of their shows? I say never? When will Disney+ stop making non-profitable Star Wars shows? I say never. You don't understand the media landscape, faggot.

it isn't low cost. expect fallon and meyers to go away when their contracts are up. it's either that or they aren't paying fallon and meyers dick.
>That's always been the case but they never did it.
they're doing it now
>Yet they still pay for ad space on TV shows
you eat shit and are gay and retarded. they aren't paying enough to justify keeping the show over running reruns

probably not unless fallon and colbert are making way less.
you are a retarded zoomer faggot and you eat shit and you cut your own dick off

>>212845157
>So when will NBC and ABC get rid of their shows?
probably soon, you gay retard. TV is dead. you wear women's clothing and your uncle molested you

>>212845196
>it isn't low cost.
The show is you fucking retard. Only Colbert himself is expensive. The show is shot indoors, on a studio that they own, no CGI or other shit.
> expect fallon and meyers to go away when their contracts are up
Sure thing, retard. Fallon signed last year until 2028. Why not just rid of him then? And if he leaves Meyers will take his place. The Tonight Show isn't going anywhere.
>they're doing it now
Yeah, after a fucking lawsuit payout. NBC and ABC won't be doing this.
>you eat shit and are gay and retarded. they aren't paying enough to justify keeping the show over running reruns
Again, zoomer. This has been a thing for 30 YEARS. The threat of "back to back reruns of Friends is more profitable". But it never happened. And who knows what CBS will put in that timeslot.
>probably not unless fallon and colbert are making way less.
Delusional.
"HERR DERR JUST IGNORE THE FUCKING LAWSUIT THAT CBS HAD TO PAY TO TRUMP! OH AND COLBERT IS #1 BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN UNPROFITABLE! AGAIN IGNORE THE LAWSUIT!"

>This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount
silly buggers at paramount; if its performance was better you wouldn't have to make this 'financial decision'

>>212845218

>THEY WILL GET RID OF FALLON ONCE HIS CONTRACT THAT HE SIGNED ONLY LAST FUCKING YEAR EXPIRES!

>>212845312
calm down weirdo

Podcasts and social media killed late night shows. For decades, late night shows were one of the only ways you could hear about the lives of celebrities. Now, they just show it all to people online. And why would anyone sit through a terrible monologue and unfunny segments for a 5 minute interview when they can watch/listen to the celebrities they like have an hour long conversation on a podcast? Even the kind of people that would be interested in doing late night shows in the past are just starting podcasts instead. This is a dead genre.

>>212845284
>The show is you
not lower cost than reruns of the king of queens, which would be doing the same number in the demo, you gay retard
you are obviously a fucking tranny if you keep seething about trump. 2/3rds of white men under 40 voted for him, you retarded shit eating troon.

You are too fucking retarded to breathe. This has been the case for 30+ FUCKING YEARS. They could have always put a 1 hour block of Seinfeld on at 11:35pm, but they didn't. You are just going to ignore the fucking lawsuit aren't you? You lying kike faggot.

>>212845366

>>212845371
>keep eating shit there you gay retarded boomer.
You're right, Fallon will be gone very soon....but of course they signed him to a massive 4 year deal last year. That's totally something you do with an unprofitable show.

>>212845384
gunna need a source on that, you gay retard. again 281,000 viewers isn't great and you like to suck cocks. you must have ridden the short bus to school

Before the pandemic, someone on Rogan was talking about his experience visiting Colbert's Late Show compared to Letterman's.

The experience was completely gutted.

A weeks worth of content is cut in segments to boost productivity. All the performers and guests will assembly line perform. There's only 1 audience that will be shown for the week. Colbert rapid fire throughs the filming, with minimal time interacting with the audience.

Post Carson Late night turned into worse of a grift than before, but its just assembly line now.

>>212845398
>you're going to give yourself a stroke
I won, you lost.

>>212845424
i was not the one you're arguing with friend
calm down

>>212845404
Fallon is on a more prestigious show and he's only signed until 2028. that's 2 years longer than colbert. that's not exactly forever you gay retard shit eater

>>212845407
>gunna need a source on that, you gay retard.
Watch the Larry Sanders Show. It's been a running joke in late night for decades you zoomer retard. The exec says to Larry "I put back to back reruns of Cheers in your slot and everything is going great".
>again 281,000 viewers isn't great
And again, you are ignoring the millions of boomers that yes companies still pay to advertise to (not as much, but it's there).

>>212845482
so you got no source and you are gay and retarded and you hate trump because you are a tranny and you wear women's clothing? got it
no one pays to advertise to boomers, you gay retard

>>212845452
>Fallon is on a more prestigious show
But it's not #1, Colbert it.
>and he's only signed until 2028.
Typical 4 year deal. Way to move the goal post (Fallon will be gone soon, just ignore that they signed him to a 4 year deal last year....)
>that's not exactly forever you gay retard shit eater
You really think a network will sign someone to what? A 10, 20 year deal? Are you fucking retarded?

>>212845500
>so you got no source
I literally gave you a source. It was a running joke for years.
>and you hate trump because you are a tranny and you wear women's clothing? got it
Pure schizo talk
>no one pays to advertise to boomers, you gay retard
Yeah, that's why they gave Fallon a pay bump....

>>212845510
>But it's not #1, Colbert
89% boomer audience
>Typical 4 year deal
2028 is only 2 years more than colbert, CBS just pulled the plug first since Fallon's show is more prestigious
you are clearly gay and retarded and you are seething about trump on account of he is going to put men who wear dresses, like you, in gitmo
>>212845526
you didn't give a source. you are seething so fucking hard because your gay lover colbert got fired for purely economic reasons and you are upset because trump is going to send you to gitmo for being a tranny and you are a retard

>>212844789
>have one bozo sit behind a desk and tell cheap jokes
>interview anybody who is remotely famous and wants to have their face on tv
You shouldn't need a big budget for that

>>212844933
>If a youtube channel could get 281,000 views everyday they would be a hit.
Only if they have little to no overhead. It costs many millions to pay Colbert and for all the staff and production values.

>>212845422
i know they do this for gameshows but i don't think that this kind of filming is happening for late night. But also Colbert seems more even keeled than Letterman in the role. Letterman was a depressed alcoholic for much of the CBS run.

>>212843996 (OP)
Colbert complained he didn’t want to work during the Trump second term, his bosses obliged and relieved him of the burden.

>>212845540
>89% boomer audience
Same with Fallon and Kimmel....
>2028 is only 2 years more than colbert,
Completely irrelevant.
>CBS just pulled the plug first since Fallon's show is more prestigious
Pure headcanon (and again, ignoring the fucking lawsuit).
You are literally a fucking headcase.
>you didn't give a source.
Do you want me to find a clip that shows this was a running joke for years?
> gay lover colbert got fired for purely economic reasons
So 2 weeks after a major lawsuit had nothing to do with it? INSANE.
>and you are upset because trump is going to send you to gitmo for being a tranny and you are a retard
INSANE

>>212845575
you sure are seething there, troon. is that why you hate trump, because you are a troon? you are tilting at windmill, you gay retard.
Colbert got fired because he only does 281,000 viewers a night and it isn't profitable

>>212845422
might be this
https://youtu.be/ypENGsVmoj8

>>212845604
>you sure are seething there, troon.
The more you lose, the more you use "troon" and "tranny'.
>Colbert got fired because he only does 281,000 viewers a night and it isn't profitable
Based on this logic Fallon should have been shown the door last year...instead he got an extension and a raise.

>>212845624
>The genre has also experienced a sharp decline in advertising revenue in recent years. In 2018, network late-night shows took in $439 million in ad revenue, according to Guideline, an advertising data firm. By last year, that figure had dropped to $220 million, a 50 percent drop in just seven years.

11.35pm people have to work and the internet has taken the late night commercials.

>>212845863
that's probably a big part of it

>>212844309
Because they're the most likely to be swayed by an advertisement.

Think about it this way, if someone's been using the same laundry detergent for 40 years, do you think a commercial for a different brand is gonna do anything to sway them to change things up? Meanwhile, a 20-something who just got their first apartment's just getting started, they don't have any significant biases or preferences, so not only are they more likely to try new things, but if you CAN hook them, you could potentially be getting decades of sales out of them

>>212846201
Erm, Youtube currently is trying to ram through ad blockers, changing algorithms to be more towards shorts, and whole bunch of other stupid shit because it's not making money. Views don't mean shit if they don't translate to money. Baby shows translate to sales, late night talk shows don't. It's fucked.

>>212845737
Because Fallon actually wanted to steer away from DRUMPF. Maybe it's Fallon actually going "I fucking told you so," and the networks are paying up.

>>212845737
Because they fucked up, you idiot
If they're axing The Late Show altogether, not just Colbert as host, I can guarantee you all the other shows are dead too by 2030
You're acting like just because they made a decision that it was a good one. Tonight Show is dying too, television as a medium is dying. Only thing it has is live sports and those are going to streaming too.

>>212844391
That's not just true of The Late Show, but TV in general. There's no future for television. YouTube and streaming are annihilating it as a format.

Honestly just learned about this fag. All these talkshow host look and sound the same. They even have the same names

>>212844725

Faggot in this thread is retarded. Fallon has the tv numbers PLUS a 20 million subscriber YouTube channel to post clips to. And I would guess that studios, music companies etc want to keep someone like him around as a legitmizer. You go on Fallon, you seem more established than just some douche in a T-shirt talking to some other douche in a T-shirt in front of the lazily mounted microphone.
> Muh talent drain
They're all low effort no talent nepo baby douches in every field now, yes, but I still think there is a place for a classier-looking show to help promote the image that you are mainstream. Same reason companies still pay for ads during football games, shows you are "for real".

>>212843996 (OP)

Like I said, every one of these shows is tv plus YouTube numbers. What I'm really confused by is why none of the big shows have gone to a more tv talk show like format. The only podcast I know of that even bothers to do lav mics is Andrew Schulzs flagrant, which is dumb, but at least looks more like people sitting in a room having a real conversation. But they do pitiful numbers compared to Rogan, who has said he wants to do an outdoor studio and more natural this and that, but just stays in his low cost setup and keeps telling the most famous people in the world "can you keep the mic right by your face? So anyways that's what I always say about Brazilian jiu jitsu, it's a lifestyle..."

>>212846066
Boomers are way easier to sway, they believe whatever the tv tells them, to millennials and gen z it's all just white noise

>>212848219
Meanwhile, the reason this thread exists is because The Late Show just got cancelled after 32 years on the air
Reality > your pitiful cope

>>212848341
I don't watch this trash I'm just saying there's gonna be at least one if not two of these shows on for the rest of my life. If Colbert got cancelled oh well.

The Tonight Show will survive in some form, it's too much of an institution at this point for the network. They've altered the time format many times over the decades, so I could see a scenario where they cut it and Late Night down to 30 minutes each.

>>212845737
Fallon's the most milquetoast of late night hosts, one that was the most reluctant to join the Trump bashing train because Fallon is a politically neutral figure, but most of all, has the protection of Lorne fucking Michaels, who has considered Jimmy Fallon (and to a lesser extent Seth Meyers) to be amongst his favorites when it comes to ex-SNL alumni

The appeal of late night used to be that it was comfy, mellow, and mildly entertaining but not so engaging that you had to see the rest or laugh-out-loud funny that it woke you right up. Perfect thing to have on while you fall asleep.

So it's more like if you put a playlist of those vtubers and LPers on a monitor and speaker/television, turned out the light, laid down, and fell asleep to that.

The problem is that they've become unable to say anything truthful.

The truth is funny, especially when it's forbidden. Comedians are the vanguards of forbidden truths.
Liars are funny as a punchline.
Liars are extremely boring and cringy when they're the ones trying to tell the jokes.

That's also why the left can't meme, and why conservatives lose their meme skills when they go into Boomer mode.

The entire Obama era was like that tired resume cliche where you turn negatives into a positive. "Oh my weaknesses? I'm a little TOO detail oriented teehee".

Yeah 50+ is underrated. People are living to 80 now. I hate that you turn 55 and its considered senior, like almost suicide tier but you can look like Brad Pitt at 61. It just depends how much work you want to put into your body to how you really are. I admit if you are 65 and no grandkids maybe consider KYS tho. It should at least be 18-55.

>>212844697
You might have had a point if they were replacing him with a cheaper host, but they're not. The show is over and so is the series that aired after. They even came up with a cope-out excuse for the latter, claiming it was "renewed" but cancelled because the host opted-out. If it was renewed, they'd just replace her. It was an obvious attempt to save face and prevent "CBS cancels last female-hosted late night show" headlines.

>>212844789
Then you should call CBS right now and let them know they made a terrible mistake.

>>212856275
I imagine meyers will be next as that show is beyond irrelevant. Hbo will probably keep Bill for as long as he feels like going. Kimmel is probably done when his contract ends. And they'll probably try to keep late night going as long as possible

>>212844896
I view late night talk shows in the same category as game shows, awards shows, etc. Filler TV that was made to fill timeslots with something new that didn't cost a tonne to make but few would choose to watch if there were better alternatives. These genres are all kind of outdated in today's world of endless choice.

They pretty much do that already because these shows have zero long term value. No one's watching last year's Colbert episodes on Paramount+.

>>212856532
I doubt it both meyers and Fallon are in 30 rock and their shows both have decades of legacy and are produced for next to nothing. NBC doesn’t have much so they’re gonna cling to these brands longer.

>>212860741
interesting how inertia works
this likely means that the show was barely making money when colbert came in in 2015 and so probably lost money overall during his era
ultimately, why did this show even exist?

this is also why the conglomerates the networks are part of were so behind on streaming, they could have made way more of hulu when they created and invested in it and instead now all lose money on streaming

>>212849935
because they are all over 50

>>212860741
they say it was canceled to placate trumps FCC and theyre right. extreme liberal bias is the only explanation for pissing away 40 million dollars a year.

>>212861226
It says because its a legacy show, its just always been there but the reality is the market has changed. Late night shows like that one just dont make sense anymore.

And that is exactly why advertising is so effective. You think you're immune to it. No human, literally no human, not even autists, not even the mentally retarded are immune to advertising. Even animals are affected by advertising. Advertising works because of one simple rule, "once you see it, you can't unsee it." Once you learn about something, it just sits there passively in your memory. In 99.9% of people that's all it ever does. But in that .1% they eventually find themselves in a situation where they need to make a decision and they instinctively "pick something at random" but it was actually their brain defaulting to the thing it found most familiar. Maybe you're in a new venue and the only drinks to choose from are Dr. Pepper and something you've never heard of so you just pick the DP because "eh at least I know it." Maybe a tree falls on your house during a storm and you say "hey I remember seeing a commercial for a roofer in my area, I should look him up and see if he's good." Maybe you're hurt in a car accident and you remember the jingle for the jew abulance chaser in your city. It doesn't really matter, because eventually, it will get you.

>>212850648
Highly debatable, just compare joe organs $250 million 3 year contract with Spotify to any late night host's contracts. Most podcast hosts own their own business, and pocket all of the ad revenue. It's crazy money.

How did they lose $40 million/year on this show? That's not the cost of producing the show. That's the amount they're short on after all the ad revenue. How does this show cost >$40 million/year? I get that Colbert takes $15 million alone, but where is the rest of that going? He said the show has like 200 employees. That's $125,000/person after Colbert just to get to $40 million.

>>212866421

>and the whole thing was aired the next day?
more leftist disinfo

if CBS that is considered a lie and justifies a lawsuit then Kamala would be entitled to far more from fox news off the example i just gave that you keep ignoring

>>212865648
she a cute

>>212867124
woah you should call the democrat party right now to get that lawsuit going! they don't know what deal they're missing out on!
lol

Sounds like you want your side to win but also your opponent to lose, bit hypocritical don't you think?

>>212866792
you sound like a gay retard
>>212867124
so why doesn't she sue? sounds like CBS lied and fox did nothing wrong

>>212867634
didn't you just say kamala was justified in doing the same in what you saw as an even more egregious example?

>>212850208
This is a good observation. I couldn't care less about this show getting cancelled. I'm not even happy, it just doesn't matter to me.
Maybe you're right, they thought they liked "the popular thing" and now there's a bit of a void due to insecurity.

>>212867233
Why are you deflecting and not answering the question? you can watch the clips online easily for yourself. It seems like you aren't really for freedom of speech, just owning the libs and freedom of your speech.

also what is this weird thing where the fox news crowd calls it the 'democrat party?' is being illiterate a new own?

>>212867662
>so why doesn't she sue?
becaue she's not a money grubbing hypocrite like trump
>sounds like CBS lied and fox did nothing wrong
Fox news literally change a "no" answer into a "yes" and you're completely fine with that and think that has journalistic integrity, and not lawsuit worthy but the CBS one is lawsuit worthy? Sounds like you don't have any principals and don't care about freedom of speech or press and you just want your cult leader to 'win'. YOu'd be losing your mind if it was opposite and kamala was weaponizing the FCC and lawsuits, it would be a deepstate conspiracy that you brainwashed pedophiles would be posting about nonstop

>I watch vtubers in one monitor and play City Skylines on the other to relax before bed
So true

>>212867961
if you see it justifiable that democrats should sue fox news for lying then why do you have a problem with trump suing cbs for doing the same?

>>212867961
>becaue she's not a money grubbing
she's money grubbing as fuck
>Fox news literally change a "no" answer into a "yes" and you're completely fine with that and think that has journalistic integrity,
so why doesn't she sue?
>and don't care about freedom of speech or press
why would I give a shit about the rights of my enemies?

>>212867961
>It seems like you aren't really for freedom of speech, just owning the libs and freedom of your speech.

Bro, I really loved the early to mid 2000s, I miss it too, but you have to move on. It's been two decades, man

It’s New York City, that’s like the minimum to afford to live there, also you have to consider to taxes and upkeep of the theater the show is filmed in, it an old building in a prime location, and NYC property taxes are outrageously high

>USAID is cut
>Colbert's propaganda show is now costing too much

>>212867961
>you don’t care about the rights of the people who have openly declared they don’t give a shit about yours!!
No I don’t. These people are my enemy and if they had their way me and my family would be either imprisoned or killed.
