>The Late Showโs ad revenues reportedly plunged from $121 million in 2018 to $70 million last year amidst declining ratings: about 2.1 million per episode in June, down from 3.1 million at the peak, less than 200K of whom were โin the demoโ, meaning the 18-to-49 years olds that advertisers covet.
In other words, yeah, the show was a financial failure. Would they have kept him on longer if he wasn't a political pain in the ass? Probably, but not for much longer as long as those ratings were dropping as hard was they were.
