Jimmy Kimmel has a well documented history of racist and sexist skits. Every time a new video of his past emerges, it’s got to be an embarrassment for his network.
Poor luck for Colbert.
> "[it's] purely a financial decision" > "It is not related in any way to the show’s performance" Naively, these seem like contradictory statements.
It could be that Colbert's pay has outpaced advertising revenue.
The show cost 100 million a year to make a loses 40 million a year. It's not just politics https://x.com/MattBelloni/status/1946236833668731390

How can they be so expensive? Unless you mean in relation to ad revenue. It's one host, maybe a band, they don't pay the guests cause their there to pitch their show/music/book/film. Maybe all the extra staff they need to write jokes and whatnot. Maybe all the drug advertisements really don't pay all that much anymore.
the hosts costs a fortune
Shouldn’t be surprising, every late night show is going to end soon. They’re all too expensive
I’m not surprised that a late night host was let go, I’m surprised it was Colbert. Jimmy Kimmel has a well documented history of racist and sexist skits. Every time a new video of his past emerges, it’s got to be an embarrassment for his network. Poor luck for Colbert.
Extremely disturbing to see the US Press go the same way as the Indian Press did under Modi.
The Late Show has an elderly and shrinking audience. And, Colbert hasn't been funny in years, nor has he been challenging the powers that be. When he did the White House Correspondents' Dinner and roasted George W Bush, that was extremely edgy. The Colbert Report was also wickedly funny. But the Late Show makes John Oliver look like Lenny Bruce.

IMO, Colbert is consistently funny. His style has always appealed to me.

Assuming this table ( https://latenighter.com/news/ratings/late-night-tv-ratings-q... ) is accurate (and I am reading it correctly), Gutfeld has more average number of viewers than the other late night shows.
His show airs much earlier than the others which is why it’s not really considered the top late night. The rankings I was referring to were the true late night shows. Gutfeld is basically prime time.
