You have no say in the matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>CBS said in a statement that the long-running late-night show will end in May 2026, but it was &#8220;purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,&#8221; adding, &#8220;It is not related in any way to the show&#8217;s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.&#8221; <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I so believe that the main reason is that they are losing money on the show.

Colbert and the staff jumped right into the arms of the hard left, anti-American views that, frankly, most Americans do not agree with. The result? Ratings started dropping and with that, ad revenue also started drying up. Colbert\u2019s target \u201cAudience\u201d doesn\u2019t spend money unless they have to. They prefer to get free stuff paid for by other people.<\/p>\n<p>Now they are discovering Margaret Thatcher\u2019s words of wisdom. \u201cEventually, you run out of other people\u2019s money.\u201d Colbert won\u2019t be alone on the unemployment line. I suspect that most of the CBS News division and all of their late night programs are on the chopping block and we will be seeing more stories like this.
