Seriously, how the fuck does a talk show have a budget in excess of $100 million? What the fuck were they spending it all on? Even disregarding Colbert's ridiculously overpriced salary of $15-20 million, that's still more than $80 million for a show that's basically just a guy talking at a desk, celebrities shilling their grabage, and some skits. And why did it need a staff of 200 people? What were they all doing? All that money for a show that was losing almost half its annual budget to air to an audience that was 90% boomers? Really?

you're seriously just gonna repost this thread again, with the exact same text and image?

>26 writers for a show hosted with one man talking to a camera
Not even industry plant musicians have that many ghost writers.

>>213068557
so you just copied someone else's thread verbatim?

These are the talking points he is paid to spread.

/tv/ is a dead board

People genuinely don't have perspective on budgets until they actually make something similar and see how much everything costs first hand.

>How the fuck does a talk show have a budget in excess of $1 million per episode?

Pretty easily. Now fuck off.

>>213068641
26 writers though? For a talk show? Really?

>>213068390 (OP)
Should people legitimately be committed to a psych ward if their TDS is so bad they get what was once the most popular late night show in America canceled?

>>213068662
Its full of cartoons and shit did you not ever watch retard?

>>213068753
>cartoons
They're cheap Adobe flash tier crap like every cartoon on TV now, there's no cost in them.

>>213068586

Clearly that shit isn't working anyway. Scrap all that animation stuff and just get down to barebones good jokes and interesting interviews. Fuck it.

>>213068753
$100 million for that? You could run this show on $15 and still have it be largely embezzlement the same.

>>213068753
Carson, Letterman and Leno didn't rely on some tacky shit like that.

It's an establishment-media tv production, one which runs most months of the year.
Entertainment union contracts are killing the industry, even ignoring AI, and everyone in the know knows it.m

>repost this thread again
I am the guy that posted that original thread. I didn't repost it and I have no idea why someone would cut and paste that OP or use the same screencap.

It’s a cultural messaging show. They probably get paid by the government

>>213068421
We need answers

>I was looking for

Its a propaganda outlet dummy, money is of no concern when shaping NPC opinions

They have to spend $80 million dollars on ice cream
