I’m not the most cognizant person. I tend to see entertainment before objective, but this Pile of shit I’ve always hated. Hope he is never heard from again, then after him is Kimmel, the view, and all the other ignorant ass “personalities” on tv.

Everyone is tired of their shit.

Like most Americans, I've never watched the SOB, other than clips on Fox News, so I'm good with him gone.

I haven't watched CBS at all in decades, in fact, but I wouldn't be surprised if they put on re-runs of "All In The Family", they're that corrupt.

Jimmy Kimmel is running a repeat on the last night of Colbert's show so as not to compete.

I didn't know he has had any original content for a while.

If this gets me banned from SF, so be it. For the record however, I am a conservative, just not in the full on Maga crowd. The country is divided, and frankly I'm exhausted from Trump's 24/7 incessant need for attention. Whatever happens in the midterms, the country will survive.

To my point....although Colbert is overzealous with his Trump targeted humor, poking politicians is fair game particularly when they can't take a joke, and provide a nearly endless amount of material to work from. Does it go too far at times? Sure. But it isn't a Nikki Glaser roast.

I'm out, thanks.

Colbert used to be funny at times, but he's become a humorless scold since Trump came unto the scene. That's not a good formula for late-night TV and it certainly doesn't make good business sense to keep a show on the air for so long that's failing in the ratings. It's inexplicable why CBS didn't address the programming problem long before they ran the show so far into the ground that cancellation became their best option.
