on top of weak ratings, it had a massively bloated production cost and was losing something like $40 million per year. |

Date: May 18th, 2026 11:24 PM Author: talented saffron whorehouse The most fascinating statistic was that CBS sort of pushed out Letterman for Colbert to get younger because his average viewer was 58, and 10 years later, Colbert's average viewer is 68.
It's almost as if Colbert didn't get a single new viewer and just steadily lost Letterman viewers over the years. |

"Having a late-night star on the air most weeknights has been a powerful statement, affirming that the broadcasters were still in the game, still offering original programming taped before a live audience that viewers showed up for, year round. Successful hosts became their networks’ signature stars."
