Major surprise. Highest rated show for its time slot for years.

CBS ownership must be really scared.

Jeebus H. Christmas. Looks like the soon-to-be new owner Skydance Media wanted him gone, perhaps as part of the "deal" with Trump to settle the 16 million dollar suit with Paramount. He has until May 2026. Until then, I suggest he lay into Trump like there's nothing left to lose! Jon Stewart's Daily Show is likely to also be cancelled.

Not scared, greedy. It's all about the merger.

--------------------

Neither show was successful in attracting and holding an audience that advertisers would pay enough for to promote themselves.

The left complains about their free speech being violated rather than rather examining why the product they offer is not selling very well. Secure Borders vs hostility towards law enforcement, etc. You know the drill.

Not sure about Steward, but Colbert has been #1 in his timeslot for a while:

The ratings are in for the second quarter of 2025, and things remain competitive across late-night, with Stephen Colbert holding onto the top spot in his hour and Greg Gutfeld dominating his slot, and having huge gains year-on-year.

According to LateNighter.com, citing Nielsen ratings, CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert topped the 11:35 pm hour in total viewers with an average of 2.417 million across 41 first-run episodes. The Late Show was also the only program to show an increase over the first quarter, with the show up 1%. In the coveted 18–49 demo, Colbert brought in 219,000 viewers.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! came in second for the 11:35 pm slot with an average of 1.772 million viewers; however, the show edged out Colbert in the demo with 220,000 viewers. Meanwhile, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon finished in third with an average of 1.188 million viewers and 157,000 in the demo.


But a Fox News show has a larger audience earlier in the evening:

The biggest ratings winner, however, was Fox News’ Gutfeld! in the 10 pm slot. The show, which takes a satirical look at the weekly news with a panel of comedians and political commentators, averaged 3.289 million viewers for the second quarter and 238,000 in the demo.
