the $100 million doesnt even include his salary
they probably dont pay most bands or guests either and just offer "free exposure" for their new album/movie
i think the bigger surprise is that it somehow generates $60M

decades ago, Carson was bringing in $23 million, which was 17% of NBC's total profits.

NYT:
Johnny Carson is believed to be a profit center unto himself at the broadcasting subsidiary of the RCA Corporation. According to industry analysts “The Tonight Show” is estimated to account for 17 percent, or $23 million, of the pretax profits of the National Broadcasting Company. Last year NBC earned $122.1 million.

Carson didn't lose $40 million and whine about it.

Still, The Late Show has long carried a headcount of more than 200 employees. Many of them are likely quite long-tenured, protected by unions or by office politics. My experience with ABC News suggests that most of them are dedicated and highly skilled professionals, but some are also coasting, and the pay scale might not have much to do with their contribution to the bottom line. It’s not hard to imagine that they’re making an average of something like $250K per year per person, counting benefit packages, which are often generous at the big media brands.
Take 200 x $250K … that’s $50 million. On top of that, Colbert was reportedly making between $15 and $20 million a year. If Paramount was then allocating some costs to the Late Show for a dedicated studio on a prime block in Midtown, equipment for a show with a pristine production values, plus travel and accommodation for guests — considerably nicer, in my experience, than for your typical late-afternoon TV hit — you could easily approach the nine figures.
And until recently, CBS executives might not have been motivated to scrutinize the budget since the show was making money. But The Late Show’s 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 “in the demo”, meaning the 18-to-49 years olds that advertisers covet.
