Thread 212889052

Seriously, how the fuck does a talk show have a budget in excess of $100 million? What the hell were they spending it on?
Even disregarding Colbert's ridiculously overpriced salary of $20 million that's still more than $80 million for a show that's basically just a guy talking, celebrities appearing to shill their shit, along with a handful of skits. And why did it need a staff of 200 people? What were they all doing?
$100 million and a staff of 200 people for a talk show with no audience. This show is a great example of why traditional media is dying.

It didn't have a live audience?

>>212889083
I mean people watching at home.

>>212889099
If that is the case it says a lot about the lack of influence and reach they had. There's no way Letterman was paying people to come on, they would've been willingly doing it for free advertising to plug their new movie/show and might have gotten a goodie bag or some booze as a thank you at most.

>>212889099
The celebrities get paid a travel fee but promoting the movie is already part of their contract.

What a long, painful goodbye this is.
Should have kicked Colbert's ass to the curb six months ago when his whining couldn't prevent Trump from returning to the white house.

>>212889244
Simpsons and Family Guy have mocked Fox constantly every since their inception

>>212889099
Actors appearing on the show receive a SAG minimum payment. They're pimping a project so they'd do it for free

That's just life in the Vax Scene.

It takes a lot of people to do a show like that. There's a lot of filming crew, editors, writers, etc. behind the scenes. Sure, you can make an amateur shit show online for no money, but this is professional shit and however bad the show is, at least it looks professional.

>>212889269
I don't even know why they're going ahead with it for a year if they've already decided it will be cancelled. Nobody is going to watch (not like they already were), any staff with any modicum of talent or employability will be jumping ship as soon as possible and Colbert will surely struggle to must any enthusiasm. It will be a horrible working environment.

>Seriously, how the fuck does a talk show have a budget in excess of $100 million? What the hell were they spending it on?
The government was paying for it (and by government I mean poor people with their taxes and inflation) and because the government was paying for it, they said fuck it, it costs 100 millions.
Now that usaid and the government wont pay for that shit anymore, the 100 millions figure is ridiculous.

Also to add to this that person who moves the cables can ONLY do that job. If a light needs to be moved then you have to hire another person for 80k plus benefits and overtim (that they get almost every day). This is the ny/la production union grift and why everyone shoots in Canada or the south now.

The big staff is the kids of nyc elites. They hype them up, pay them huge salaries so they feel important and they create a hysteria feedback loop on social media that was nigh impenetrable at the time. Intelligence was involved at some level obviously using Colbert himself as an asset.

>>212889052 (OP)
USAID was paying these people via NGOs to make pro-tranny anti-white pro-pedophile (faggot) propaganda.

This is why they're all shutting down. We pulled the cord on Left Wing propaganda, and since Leftoids are all poor, low IQ, unemployed childkillers, they have no way to keep the grift going without state funds.

This is the total, unambiguous end of all left-wing politics in America, and especially in entertainment. It is good that Colbert will die knowing that we won, and he lost.

A lifetime of seething, scratching, licking shit out from between the toes of Jews, all wasted. All for NOTHING. At least he's not that cuck Noam Chomsky.

>>212890567
Bravo, now you realise the problem. The issue is not that they mocked their employer, the issue is that they weren't funny enough. Also see >>212889275

>>212889275
Married With Children, too. But the difference there was MWC and Simpsons were massive draws for FOX network, which was new at the time for TV networks so couldn't afford to cut or diminish either of those so they could make fun of the network all they wanted.

>>212889178
>I'm sure you think renting the Ed Sullivan Theater four days a week is a piece of cake
CBS's parent company owns it..if they were paying 'rent' it was one company paying it's own parent company.

>>212889178
As mention around here today, CBS bought the theater and renovated. After government credits, the final cost was a few million. Rentals for a similar sized theater in the area are also a few million per year, so that's probably the ongoing operating cost. The theater is a single digit million expense. It's not the big driver for that $100m.

>>212890369
They also have massive catering services, a huge PR team and a bunch of attendants and henchmen whose only job is pampering everyone. A massive team of lawyers works around the clock to pay off interns, staffers, women to stay quiet about weekly sex scandals, everyone is on drugs, the whole team goes out to high class resteraunts, weekly gallas, and they're also renting a full sized studio in New York which probably costs 800,000 a week, then they've also got to pay payroll tax in new york which is like 120% of the wages again.

Yeah, their huge salaries for their meager jobs probably contributed to the $40 million shortfall, and it's not like the studio could save money by getting rid of them. They'd just have to stop the show.

Political propaganda isn't suppose to generate profit, it theoretically can do so but that's not the primary function. From the Jew's perspective, $40 million a year is cheap for how effective the Colbert show was in serving their propaganda.

>>212889052 (OP)
Politics did play a role but the role was it kept the show around

>>212891543

>>212892093

Probably a lot more I'm not aware of. Then consider that all the different shows are fiercely competing for ratings, so there's pressure to hire more and better people. If one show is having a lot of success with a staff of 100 people, their rival show will try to hire 120 to outdo them, and so on....

So let's increase that to $15 million assuming they've had some industry agreement wage raises during that time. Even with the salary of Colbert at $20 million and $15 million for the staff that leaves $65+ million for the show? Still doesn't add up. What the hell about running that talk show aside from staff wages would cost $65 million? Even with coffee, food, props, etc I can't see how they're spending $65 million.

>>212892341
This is why talk shows are being replaced by podcasts.
Besides offering a different kind of content. Some comedian can set up a studio in their home, with very little overhead costs, hiring a producer to deal with the technical aspects.

>>212892599
Advertisers are supposed to pay them to advertise on the show. They get to advertise on their network at no cost. How much would they really spend advertising this show outside of tv? Doubt it would be much.

>>212892478
After what happened to Colbert, I think that most channels are not as brave with their anti Trump stories.

>>212889052 (OP)
Bloated staff on union rates, high salary presenter, High rent for the studio, how much it costs to put up their guest stars in expensive hotels and fly them business class. All this with dwindling audience and massively declining ad revenue.

This shit always made a slight loss but it was worth it for cross promotion and "prestige", neither of which is worth the losses any more.

>>212892635
Ok jew

if the show was any good, they'd be making money off the youtube channel views. Because, they do have the same revenue stream opportunity as any youtuber, with several advantages that youtubers do not. I always wonder if youtube shills them on frontpage for free because youtube thinks its in its interest, or does CBS pay for that too.

>>212892644

>>212890567
A bunch of old (((White))) men telling you white men are the enemy.

>>212892644
no I mean advertising the show in public places and online. giant digital billboards in times square and places like that, advertising at sports events, magazines, etc...
Then I'd assume there is also paying for market research, insurance costs.

Between those three - advertising, market research, and insurance - you could easily be looking at tens of millions.

>>212892671
i can imagine you wearing a che guevara beret as you type this. Did even YOU watch his show? You can cannot conceive that Colbert was literally costing them money.

>>212892765
>or does CBS pay for that too.
they absolutely would have to

>>212892644
I'm pretty sure that big pharmaceutical companies have a large amount of advertising on the channel. To have Colbert do his dance, promoting our products, if we want him to

>>212889052 (OP)
They're employing a crew and writing staff year round, each of those people is making between 100 and 300 a year probably and then you have the above the line guys who are probably getting between 500-1 million a year, a full orchestra. You've got various sketches that employee SAG actors, from those dance numbers to pretaped stuff. Not to mention with a sale like this a lot of property gets valued too and even if Viacom owned the Ed Sullivan theatre they'd have to pay property taxes and so on on it and that's prime real estate.
They make upwards of 200 shows a year. It takes a lot of people and things to do that even if it's essentially the same stage every night. You still need the stagehands, you still need the grips, you still need a propmaster, 3 cameramen and a stage manager, there still needs to be a director directing the whole thing every night and there's still an orchestra and all the production needed to make that orchestra sound good from Poughkeepsie to Pocono every night.

>>212892806
Yeah, I knew what you meant which is why I said "outside of tv". Aside from the odd billboard or as shown here >>212892765 bus ad I really can't see them spending a great deal on advertising, especially if the show was already operating at a net loss of $40 million. How could you possibly justify a large marketing budget?

>>212892402

creative hollywood accounting like usual, most likely. Charge a ridiculous rent fee from Colbert LLC to Paramount Global for the theater, claim the show looses money. pay a lower tax rate.

>>212892879
>especially if the show was already operating at a net loss of $40 million
well the purpose of advertising is to try to avoid the show losing money like that in the first place, and to get more viewers than their competing shows. So they would still keep trying to draw in viewers, even when the show was doing poorly. Public advertising can be extremely expensive.

I imagine insurance costs are massive as well. All sorts of things can potentially go wrong...a lighting rig falls and crushes someone, a member of the live audience shoots a bunch of people, a fire in the building, Letterman rapes an intern, the show gets sued for defaming a public figure, writers go on strike....

>money laundering
money laundering is taking dirty money you can't explain where it comes from and flipping into what looks like funds that came from a legit business. You can't do that with something like a god damn talk show. It needs to be some sort of cash only biz you can cook the book on.
and all the stuff that goes into making the show just cost way more than people expect. This is true for any event or show of an nature. Like even a damn BBQ with rent this and rent that quickly spirals into massive costs. Everything cost more than people not in the biz think.

>>212893158
Sure, I don't think Trump would have been involved in shutting down the show.
The show had lost the right to exist, losing the influence on the public, while being bloated with a large number of staff for a show with overpriced cast members

yes, Colbert trashed Trump on pretty much every episode of this talk show since Trump won in 2016. Its an entire meme around it.
Maybe Trump had something to do with him getting fired, maybe not. I really dont care. I'm glad he's fired. I liked Colbert Report, but ever since Trump won... If there's one person on teh planet that has Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's Colbert.

>>212889052 (OP)

>>212889275
Simpsons and family guy still attract zoomers. Colbert only attracts nursing home residents.

>>212889333
They have Colbert under contract for another year (it was a multi-year deal) and they probably will sell advertisers on the "last call" gimmick. Getting out of the contract would probably cost money, so might as well ride it ou.

>any staff with any modicum of talent or employability will be jumping ship as soon as possible

To where? TV and film production has been severely cut back in the post-COVID years. The talk show genre is clearly dying out. CBS isn't replacing Colbert (or the show after) with another talk show. They're giving up on those time slots entirely.

>Colbert will surely struggle to must any enthusiasm

Paramount was reporting a loss for the past few years. So any profitable subsidiaries would be smart to pay Paramount whatever fees/rents they could come up with to become 'unprofitable' themselves.
Paramount has -1bill net income

Colbert has net income of 40 mil...could pay tax on the 40 mil. instead, pay 40 mil to Paramount as rent...0 profit, no tax.

I agree that I have no idea what goes into producing a talkshow on television.
But Joe Rogan can run a podcast, far more successful, with a bigger reach managed by a single producer.
It seems that on television, successful programmes with high ratings gets bigger in budget, increasing the crew/cast salary. But staff won't accept to scale back financially when ratings go down, inflating the costs whilst the income is being reduced.

Colbert makes 15m so your down to 85m
They rent the location in New York, which isn't going to be cheap.
The show airs daily, with a large studio audience. The crew to wrangle the audience alone is going to be a dozen people.
Then theirs' Camera crews, sound crew, tech crew to make sure the show runs properly. You'll have a tech team to handle websites, bookings, streaming.
Writers to write a new show every day. You need a marketing staff for advertisements.
Then you need all the random shit every job has, cleaning crew, HR.
You have the band and actors for bits.

Actors don't normally get paid for appearances but they need handlers, and they'll travel and accommodations will covered for their appearance, that's first class flights + nice hotels.

How many episodes are there a year? 180ish? Take away Colberts salary and that's only 450k an episode.

>>212893779
Yeah, they would have to pay Colbert his remaining due (plus any additional early severance charges or grievances that most contracts have) at time of cancellation, which saves them in the long run. There's a reason we're learning this so far in advance because generally you're given time to obtain new contracts/employment before it lapses. That and Colbert is being a fag about it

You do have to wonder. It's not about the money for some of them, but it definitely is about the money for others. How the fuck does that work? You'd think either they all wanted money, or they all wanted something other than money i.e. ideological triumph or just flat out power. But they can't even agree on what's important.

You can only spend $40 million a year until the checks start to bounce. They were likely getting the difference from USAID money.

The only difference is good comedy vs bad comedy. If Colbert was a good comedian he wouldn't be cancelled no matter how much he mocks his employers. Family Guy is now owned by Disney, who should by all logic cancel the show for calling Walt Disney an antisemite in the past. But they don't cancel it because it's a decent cash cow.

>if the show was any good, they'd be making money off the youtube channel views. Because, they do have the same revenue stream opportunity as any youtuber, with several advantages that youtubers do not.

You make the jews sound like these all-powerful gods, yet they get shit on by their own golems. Look at new york, look at the Palestine thing. They riled up people so much over white hatred and brought in non-whites because of their hatred of whites that now jew hatred is now mainstream and a Muslim is in the running for mayor of the population center with the most jews outside Israel.

>What does unfortunately happen to sane people is acquiescence and compliance in the face of an undefeatable power.
You're correct. I'd just specify that it's in the face of a *perceived* undefeatable power. That's actually why they went so absurd with their propaganda. People feel most defeated when they believe everybody else believes the most absurd shit, and it's demoralizing to have to publicly express agreement with it when you don't.

Something is going to have to give at some point, and Zimbabwe-tier inflation will not allow for their massive crews to produce their unwatched propaganda anyway.

People have complained that media has become too atomized, but it's for the best, it's more resilient. With just three TV stations, propaganda was easy to pump out. Just get those three stations going, and everybody will assume theres a consensus and even talk about it. Now, with many more sources, it's more resilient, since there is no way to flood the zone with millions of outlets, whether written, audio, or video. It's not a coincidence that people started noticing the lies and propaganda more when anybody with a smartphone can start streaming anytime anywhere

Because historically late night talk shows have been network tentpoles, so hosts get paid a lot of money because they help define the tone of the network itself.
And for a long time you MOSTLY just had the big three networks. NBC had the tonight show which was the king of the format with carson to the point no one else really wanted to compete because it was always going to be second place.
Almost everyone watched it because it was usually easy topical jokes, and shilling the latest pop culture television, music, film, and comedy with dumb bits you could get a chuckle out of.
Its a legacy media that isn't relevant anymore, but networks are slow to adapt.

I miss it. I like watching clips from Carson in the 70s and 80s because of how mellow his show was. No politics unless it was a light off-the-cuff joke, and those weren't in the monologue nightly. There were pauses between what was being spoken and a second or two of "dead air" fairly often. Just didn't feel like you were being actively hated or browbeaten. If he was on now I'd still watch.

This was the biggest indicator I've ever seen that the American left spends a lot of money, our tax money, on propaganda. When you realize that they changed the laws to make propaganda legal for American citizens, connected with this, it's all there. I guess you have to have over a certain IQ to make the connections yourself? No propaganda outlet themselves is going to report on it.

A "democracy" is just the name for a compact between the elites and a specific class of lower-upper class/upper middle class cattle herders who act as intermediaries to present the demanded course of action from the population on penalty of lawful punishment and spin a fable that this is all done of their own free will, civic responsibility and "common sense". Has been since the south lost the Civil War.

The thing is there is an infinite number of podcasts to chose from, on whatever niche interest you may or may not have with all levels of guests and insight from super casual to really specialized, and happy to pitch everything from an angle that validates your own biases and opinions.
And again, no one is watching broadcast television in the first place, and they aren't going to tune in for an analog podcast.

Carson was great, and I'm old enough to remember when he was on the air, and retiring. Grew up watching letterman and then conan.
But pop culture was much more singular when those shows were a big deal, they were part of the filter. If you were a comedian in the the 70's and 80's your end goal was to get 5 minutes on carson, and then you had made it. You weren't the lead in a hit new show or movie who didn't have to make the talk show rounds.
It was also a way for the network to self promote.

Lefties need this cope. They can't live with the fact that people on the Right can laugh at themselves if the jokes are funny. Colbert was funny as fuck on his Comedy Central show. I don't know if that was mostly good writing, or him being a character and not himself, or what. But it absolutely didn't translate to his CBS late night show. I also see Conservatives really enjoy funny memes that are against them, IF they're actually creative and well done. The weirdo faces of Vance one is a good example.

Why do people think this is some Trump-caused effect. It's clear that the show is vastly over budgeted for a meager audience at a time where late night television is at a low. Makes sense that an organization that b has been financially struggling for over 20 decades would cut something as soon as it was projecting to consistently lose money over a long term

Colbert Report poached Conan Obrien's writers, it had good writing for the early seasons

>>212898693
>But it absolutely didn't translate to his CBS late night show.

I think its 2 things
1.) Colbert Report by design was supposed to be political and make fun of right-wingers. Late Show is not. But Colbert still.. continued to be.
2.) Trump winning broke Colbert. I think it genuinely bothers him on an emotional level.

>And why did it need a staff of 200 people? What were they all doing?
i mean... there's like half a dozen cameras that each require an operator and a focus pull. that's 5% of the staff right there. probably another dozen people on hair and make up, and we're up to 10%. Producers, sound guys, switch board, etc. I could keep going, but the point is 200 people is really not an insane number of staff for something that big. The problem is that there is no reason it needs to be that big, when they are getting absolutely skullfucked in ratings by autists sitting alone in an attic.

>>212898716
>Why do people think this is some Trump-caused effect.
Because the cancellation is immediately after him taking a shot at CBS for settling a lawsuit with Trump

ironically Colbert became biggest platform to put a spotlight on AIPAC
what they meant for evil God meant for good

>>212899798
I remember the Pelosi heckler thing, Colbert was like "So what do you have to say about that Nancy" instead of just brushing off the heckler. You just know Colbert was trying to hide his power level. If only the audience weren't such clapping seals

What DOGE really exposed wasn't a little stolen money here or there, it was that the government, the NGOs, the corporations, and the media had built a real life matrix, a centrally coordinated deception sphere, and it was being funded by taxpayer dollars through fake charities. In fact, it came out in 2016 that things like NYT subscriptions were fake, but, by this very device the story was buried.

>>212891509
nothing wrong with the concept of a talk show. people forget but a late night show like this decades ago when tv was new was interesting to people and didnt cost much to make. talk shows are still very popular in the daytime but they all seem to be for gays.

>Political propaganda isn't suppose to generate profit
This is definitely true. The show isn't being cancelled for simply being unprofitable though, it's too unprofitable. Combine this with USAID funds running dry the jews at the top know they have to be more careful in terms of where their money is going. Colbert is not only extremely unprofitable its entirely unpopular as well. They would rather invest their propaganda in other areas while they can

>>212893991
Maybe they knew what he was saying still thought it was funny despite that.

Colbert has been rather too uppity lately. Dedicating 20 minutes of airtime for Mamdani surely didn't get him any favors from the uniparty

Colbert had to go

Why are democrats talking about AIPAC now? This is a Tucker Carlsonesque Putin talking point.

>talk shows are still very popular in the daytime

Not really. There's been nothing that's replaced Oprah, Ellen and Dr. Phil. They're obviously a lot lower budgeted and filled with in-show advertising, too.

Also, their target audience is less homosexuals and more women, disproportionately black ones at that.

>>212902269

Why do you democrats repeat this lie there is no list it's an obama hoax.
