The View has a solid audience. Most of the show's costs probably are just salary to the female hosts. They can always renegotiate when contracts are up if need be. I highly doubt the show is all that dependent on Whoopi or Joy Behar.
So the most popular talk show was losing that much?

It may even be they preferred the optics this way because it was a signal to Trump they were willing to play ball.
That's the main problem for most of these late shows. They're a dying breed and there's really no way to stop it. The business model is simply dying. I suspect that's why they're simply axing the show, rather than trying to revamp it under a different format or with another host.
I enjoyed all these late night shows far better when there was at least an attempt take potshots across the entire political spectrum, instead of focusing them mainly on the Republicans.
I love political humor. I just find it bizarre when comedians begin to become partisan observers and commentators. The exception might be Jon Stewart's news/comedy format. And why leave half of the obvious jokes in the writer's room. That's probably giving too much credit to the writers because I think many of them have been brought up with the idea that they have to take a political stand.
Losing a lot of money is bad business.
I find it odd that MAGA cheers this on and doesn't see that what they are doing is recreating the press freedom and freedom of speech of Russia for americans in america.

Yeah, suck the dick who is fucking you up the ass like a good Cult Cuck!
I thought this was mindless and self-indulgent humor from Colbert. It's pretty weak as far as genuine laughs. I'm fairly sure we will have some members tell us it's hysterical. Is repeating go fuck yourself really the foundation for a comedy show?
There is a competitive business that pays them handsomely.
