What's CBS going to do without a late night talk show?

Date: July 26th, 2025 3:28 PM Author: Aquamarine nursing home Didn't realize they were doing more than just firing Colbert. So they're eliminating the whole position? They're just not going to have a host?
This doesn't make any sense. BTW Colbert was only making $15 million, this isn't a crazy amount of money for drawing 2 million viewers. I know he has a whole staff too that need to get paid. But this the whole cost of the operation is about as much as the bench of an NBA team. This isn't crazy money. I thought these guys made like 50 million. Guess not. They're like equivalent to a 3 and D basketball player. Weird.
I thought the whole business model of CBS was to have a flagship show that peddled all of their low budget network content. How are they going to get proles to watch their boring cop shows? |

Date: July 26th, 2025 3:50 PM Author: house-broken charismatic shrine One of the variables here is just how old primetime TV viewers now are:
"Of the five networks, Fox had the youngest median age (58.1), with CBS having the oldest (67.8), followed by ABC (65.5), NBC (64.9) and The CW (65.2)."
What 67-year-olds do CBS even have a hope of holding onto in the late night slot? And you can forget about anyone watching Taylor Tomlinson's Gen Z slop.
Americans have gotten older and these shows aren't what they used to be. The AVERAGE age of a CBS viewer is a median Boomer.

Date: July 26th, 2025 4:03 PM Author: Aquamarine nursing home Why can't they just make Tim Dillon a host or something and get a bunch of 30 something white males into the fold. Plus their girlfriends will be forced to watch because it's His Choice or she can cry alone and watch Netflix in the other room. Why cancel the show? Just solve the problem. Make a different show. But the idea of a late night host is still cool. Offer Theo Von 20 mil to do it or something. Have Alex Jones and Timothee Chalamet be the guest at the same time. Fuck it.

Date: July 26th, 2025 6:32 PM Author: coral histrionic theater Only olds watch those shows (and half probably are just falling asleep to TV and not actually watching). Late shows aren’t getting enough 25-50 year old viewers that advertisers really care about. And they never will anymore: everyone our age who is watching a screen at that hour most likely is streaming something on Netflix.
