I'm being 100% genuine when I ask this:
HOW is this fucking show still on air? Is CBS just propping up this ghost show for purely propaganda/psyop reasons or something or for money laundering? Out of all the clips I'm unintentionally exposed to, I can't think of a single segment that's been even remotely comedic. I mean, Chucky Schumer literally gives the writers talking points for goodness' sake.
All propaganda & leftoid shit aside, WHO is watching this? Is the intended audience just inebriated leftist roasties high on cat piss fumes? I've never met a single person who still watches "late night" shows, let alone Colbert's godawful dogshit show.

It truly baffles me how this faggot keeps getting renewed every year.

t. ex-REPORT fan during teenage years

Because they started measuring the relevance of a show not by live viewers but online mentions. The “view minute.”

And it’s cheap to produce so it doesn’t matter if no one watches. Just needs to pull more from ad revenue than it costs to make.

why does every right winger say they loved him during the Colbert days? Do you not realize he was playing a character? A mocking caricature of what the left thinks a right winger was. He was mocking you and you liked it

Yeah, but he said teenage years and also the OP hasn't quite identified with the right yet. Besides the cat piss fumes comment, which could have replaced the word lefties with hipsters, all his talking points could genuinely come from a conscious worker's standpoint

Do you not realize he was playing a character?

Wow, REALLY? Holy shit I'm so glad that anon is here to reveal us the huge secret that none of us knew!! Wow you cracked the code, retard.

A mocking caricature of what the left thinks a right winger was. He was mocking you and you liked it

We were actually able to laugh at ourselves back then. It was satire but it wasn't an evil tone & didn't come across maliciously (e.g., Alec Baldwin impersonating Trump). It was a genuinely fun show. Even Stewart used to poke fun at both sides back in the day.
It was a completely different time back then. You must be a zoomer.

We were actually able to laugh at ourselves back then

No you thought he was genuine. I have met many right wingers that thought he was being unironic

How is anything still on the air? How is there still the expression "on the air"? Who the fuck pays for or watches any cable network?

nta but no you haven't kek

But why would advertisers pay CBS for slots based on "view minutes?" Those clips & mentions don't actually show the full aired episode along with its respective television commercials.

TV talk shows were created to fill time on the late night hours of TV channels so they did not have to go off the air and shut down the transmitter after the late news. They exist for celebrity guests to promote things. Talks shows becoming partizan political propaganda tools is a relatively recent phenomenon when white males stopped watching the old TV networks they needed some way to appeal to a new audience of woke white women and minorities.

all of my dads coworkers at nintendo thought he was being real too

its 80 year olds that like the latenight format, and then the next highest viewing comes from social media clip ffarming.

but these faggots made a podcast during the writers strike and nobody watched it. barely got any views. goes to show how forced all these late night hosts are. nobody actually cares about them without the late night format

Because those are the new “ratings”

How can you be sure he isn't playing a character now

Thats what I dont understand either. At this point most people watch short segments of these shows posted without commercials on social media.

Talk shows like Colbert are extremely cheap to produce. People still buy ad space on the show itself on broadcast and their youtube channel consistently gets millions of views on videos.

No you thought he was genuine.

Imagine just making up how I perceived a show I used to watch 15 years ago. You're a gay zoomer who has never watched CR in your life & your only pathetic way of feeling intelligent is to smugly pretend that rightwingers (of whom you've never actually met any) fell for Colbert's evil plan.

At this point most people watch short segments of these shows posted without commercials on social media.

Yeah exactly. So does that mean their aim is to just get retweets, likes, & comments on X, Youtube, etc. for monetized clips & youtube ads? It just seems like a weird business model but maybe I'm not understanding it.

Like for real, do people actually think this kind of show costs a lot of money to make or that all of the guests aren't paid sponsor spots? There are talk shows that get far less eye balls on it that are sitll on the air and you're wondering why Colbert is still on? Even 20 years ago if you could pull numbers like these you'd be on the air.

TV hasn't made money in a decade outside of sports, they're keeping shows like this alive because of Branding and the total value of their company is based on how many IP's you have.

Just the fact that the show gets views on youtube probably makes it one of the most vaulable brands, doesn't matter if they make money once you get into the multibillions.

Media literacy award of the year for this anon

The only time I have seen anyone talk about Colbert is here. Nowhere else, not even when twitter used to be libtard central would there be someone getting a shit ton of likes quoting leepic clapbsck Drumpf rant from him. So, yeah it is weird that it goes on and on

conan can pull down millions of view on youtube

these hacks can't even break 20k

Coco won

Simpsons is still running and costs millions to make. Last episode had 600k watchers. Youtubers have bigger audiences.
Trad media are butt buddies with advertisers that’s where they really get ahead.

I remember reading the Stephen Colbert book back at the start of 2008. My mind was like, "I'm supposed to think this is funny, but it's just not." That was when the worm finally turned and I saw Colbert and his peers for what they really were.

I bought both his books. I thought the first one was funny. I was clearing out some boxes in the garage recently and found both of them. Considered starting a bonfire with them but I might try to get some money out of them. Hopefullly some braindead homo will buy it

there is such a thing as a boomer democrat and they watch this shit and keep SNL on the air

Colbert was funny as a Daily Show correspondant, but the Colbert Show or whatever it was called was never that funny. The O'Reilly caricature would've been funny for a few comedy sketches but to milk it for a decade was never going to work.

even the OG ratings system, random polling, and nielson boxes, was little more than a glorified lie. the industry has always been founded on bullshit, because marketing was always the main revenue stream, and marketing is bullshitting for money.

Why does he make trumplets so angry? You've been seething about him for 8 years

No, chuds are unironically low IQ.

doesn't matter if they make money once you get into the multibillions.

its the opposite. it becomes important for products to lose money, to evade taxation on the steadily increasing amount of money they have.

GRUNGLEBLUMPF

My boomer parents watch it. Same reason fox news still exists. Boomers love cable propaganda

I saw Colbert and his peers for what they really were.

what are they?

don't mock the orange retard

Unfunny

He looks like an elderly lesbian

one minimal set

no guests

no journalism, just commentary on other reports and news from the week

This is a glorified youtube reaction channel anon
What do you mean "how is it on air"
It's not hard

Unironically me too

Because they're insecure little bitches like their cult daddy. They like to larp as manly "facts over feelings" rational alpha males, but in reality they're super fragile and pathetic.

It's boomers, the same people voting for all the elderly politicians

Dems still own the media (For now)

How's the stock market looking today?
Those egg prices finally going down?

Why do Trump supporters still exist? What exactly are you even supporting at this point? Just destructive chaos for the sake of making people as poor and miserable as you are? I genuinely don't understand how they think or what they want

How is Tucker Carlson still on the air?

You have done nothing but lie cheat steal and terrorize americans.

No one else wants the job, late night is dead and it only exists for old people who leave their tv on

It's so funny, how you lost

So do you actually like the show? do you legitimately find it itself, not people's reactions to it, good?

He's not, his show was cancelled like 4 years ago.

To piggyback off of what you said, doesn't Youtube also promote the fuck out of his clips daily?

You don't know any rightwingers, reddit. This nonsense is only repeated by "people" who are completely drunk on marxism.

It's le "own the libs" party now. They are willing to shit themselves in their pants becauae it would smell bad to liberals.

the Colbert Show or whatever it was called was never that funny.

To you

The O'Reilly caricature would've been funny for a few comedy sketches but to milk it for a decade was never going to work.

It did and for a good reason.
Satire isn't allowed anymore in the western world. For fuck's sake, they are banning pro-Palestine demonstrations in Europe. Pro-Palestine demonstrations! The one thing every left party and out-of-parliament movement agreed on and engaged in at least once a year and it was expected.

RIP Eddie Democratero

boomers cant function without a little jew on their shoulder, constantly whispering into their ears and telling them how to think and feel. Its like how zoomers need constant trap house and EDM remixes.

they were mocking you but you didnt realize it.

muh media literacy

just another psyop to rewrite history. these faggots use to bend over backward to pretend to be unbiased/fair/ect and they took advantage of the fact that white society was conditioned to believe the media.

He's not

Anon asking the real questions

He's unironically better than the youtube grifters conservatives watch

How is any TV show or station on air? How are streaming services profitable? How does Hollywood still exist as a concept? The answer to that and many other questions will come once you stop not paying attention.

nobody below age of 40 watches tv, once boomers die its over

It was satire but it wasn't an evil tone & didn't come across maliciously

Lol naive faggot

I don't think anyone above room temp IQ has ever liked late night comedians, dude.

I'm trans btw

He is a grifter you retard, they exist on both sides.

When is Blump releasing the Epstein files? Why don't chuds care about that anymore?

Its not a good look if you have to compare someone on primetime tv to a youtuber.

I have an antenna, it gets signals through the air. Quit being a dope.

why? tv is legacy media

also, Colbert is a YTuber himself

People were allowed to have a sense of humor back the on. We all laughed and fucked with eachother, now its personal. Plus most chuds are just disillusioned former liberals.

Has he altered his anti-trump rate, is he still complaining about Trump every single day and pretending its comedy?
They claim this is good for his ratings, i really dont know. I get there are people who hate Trump, but every single day, how could anyone handle it. the fact that its played as comedy is the tiresome part.

IDK, maybe because there is no bar for entry? some literal who rambling retard can (and do) start the worst youtube channels and can get any amount of following from 30 subs to 300,000.

It makes complete sense. current topic. means you get views.

I agree that after a while it feels felating and I dont think anyone with shread of self reflection could think otherwise, but I understand it on a pure engagement marketing level. there are braindeads of every affiliation.

I never thought he was funny

Is CBS just propping up this ghost show for purely propaganda/psyop reasons?

Yes. All the left/deep-state wants is power. Of course, money IS power so at face value it can be confusing as to why such low rated shows like Colbert and The View stay on the air. Having enough propaganda disguised as legit entertainment and news is an asset worth more than the money it generates. You mentioned money laundering in your comment-- Shows like Colbert are how the deep state launders misinformation and propaganda. Having a bunch of seemingly separate, autonomous, unrelated sources spouting the same message gives the illusion that the message is organic-- a conclusion reached by multiple different people is how you effectively fool an entire population into believing a movement like Black Lives Matter is legit and organic, not orchestrated propaganda (because the message is being channeled through seemingly legit clean channels, just like dirty money seems legit when you launder it through a legit business).

do you think he's being compared to people who get 20 views a video?

This could be said about a lot of 'shows'. See: CNN, Fox, SNL. Geriatric baby boomers on their death knell and retarded geriatric gen xers propping up all the bullshit still.

These clowns think they can take over the world but are just setting us up for failure. It's not like the other side is any better though.

IDK, I dont watch youtube grifters. You got some multi million sub Conservitive grifters in mind that ive never heard of? If you do, thats probably no different then some liberal multi million sub grifter that ive never heard of either.

thing is, nobody views that shit so how is it power?

i do suspect youtube is pushing his content, I dont think they do it for political reasons, maybe to replace old-school media or something. his viewcount is quite high, but i dont get the impression he has a following, he was far more popular during his Colbert Report days. Could be wrong

You wouldn't know a right winger even if one walked up to you and stuck a tariff up your ass

They claim this is good for his ratings

It very much is. Trump as a personality is very funny just on his own. As an actual president he's objectively hilarious and provides non-stop material for comedians. You barely have to write a joke, you can just read what he said or did out loud and people burst into laughter. 1000 years from now there will be people studying US politics and there will be people studying people like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Nixon. They'll be serious scholar who argue about big issues like nuclear weapons, the importance of world trade, slavery, personal hypocrisy and so on. Then there's going to be people whose entire thing is going to be digging around archives just to find more hilarious statements made by Trump. He is genuinely a 10/10 historical figure that will never grow old in terms of comedy.

Well they did with trevor noah years ago.

Trump as a personality is very funny just on his own. As an actual president he's objectively hilarious

100% true. And yet people like Colbert somehow murder comedy of him (for people like me atleast). Because there's this undertone of pathetic whinging, and complaining, and preachiness. And his audience claps not cause of how funny the joke is, but because it's dabbing on Trump. It's just unwatchable.

Trump USED to be genuinely funny, hes dementia ridden paranoid boomer now

Kristen never recovered from this.

yeah, same. I watched the guy once, and lost all interest in ever doing so again. He was never funny.

All men heeded the warning. Very sad.

The orangutans back in business taxing penguins on remote Islands and this guy can't stop winning making Donny look like a senile fool

Just destructive chaos for the sake of making people as poor and miserable as you are

wtf i like leftist authoritarianism and 40 mill illegals under biden now. thanks, comrade

Why is a 70 yr old boomer tweeting about teen romance? Trump's fucking weird man

You're not remotely liberal. Average dems fucking loathe freedom. You're bolsheviks, really.

He’s still funny

here’s Steve Scalise, talk about getting shot!

the helicopter must stop, the jet cannot stop

I’m pretty sure his advisors told him to chill out on twitter though.

Lol

he's right.

He objectively had great ratings when he was on the air

Not everyone is a mindbroken Anon Babbledroid

Just found out half the tariff calculations are complete horseshit and suspiciously close to ChatGPT responses. Will the bufoon resign already or is he not gonna be content till the entire world dog piles America?

While stupid, I can't really blame anybody for feeling that way. Liberals are such repellent shitty people devoid of any moral fiber.

That being said, the attitude you're talking about is indeed real and retarded. Just hit a liberal with one of their many moral or intellectual failings. They live in fear of being asked to back of their assertions.

voting for whoever he wants IS fredom you unhinged fascist

Canada is the only one that doesn’t deserve it imo.

muh hecking lib libs

Do republishits really spend 25 hours a day seething about liberals despite being a majority in the house AND senate? Talk about rent free lol

what about the penguins

they need to pay

I wish.

I met with, the PRESIDENT of Antarctica yesterday. Here's a picture. He didn't wear a suit. He wore, a TUXedo. Very respectful. We had a long talk and America will import ice exclusively from Antarctica, all freezers, will be banned. There's no amendment against it.

Zone denial at the very least

this guy peaked with his presidential run with Herman Cain. That was it. The show died after 2016 and is a walking dead spinoff now.

The networks are cutting costs on the late night shows -- reducing days, cutting staff -- but still throwing 10s of millions at a host that isn't getting great ratings.

Odd.

Do you realize the opposite side says the same about your favorite shows?

What favorite shows? There’s nothing left. You wrecked them all.

grunkleblump

Checked. I just realize Scooby Doo would call him Ronald Rump.
