Locking thread. Not interested in babysitting it anymore. It's nearly a day old.

I have a feeling that if Colbert or Stewart are removed, their audience will follow them wherever they decide to go.
I love Jon but I did not follow him to Apple. I don't need another subscription. Also I felt vindicated when he quit because they suppressed his anti-China speech.
Yeah, I'd follow him anywhere that I already have access to, and likely no further. If he let's someone put up barriers around what he makes, that's on him. He can easily do his own thing anywhere and have an audience. He just might get paid less, though I'm certain he has more than enough money to live the rest of his life happily.
Colbert though I don't follow. He's smart and funny, but I watched The Late Show and just do not care for the format. If he decides to do something else then I'd give it a shot, but not that format.
It's not just him though. He has a team that makes what he does possible.
Yeah, and he puts together a good team. He has a lot of people who'd gladly follow him wherever he wants to work with him.
I certainly didn't get an Apple subscription but I absolutely stopped watching The Daily Show. Even now I only watch the episodes he's on. And that's just on YouTube.
A good chunk at least. Shocking enough I am not a hardcore comedy central viewer.
Regardless of whether you like Colbert/Stewart, I don't know how you can't find this absolutely chilling. It makes me think of Steven Fry's character in V for Vendetta.
Colbert will probably be black bagged and taken to a death camp soon enough.

Where are the free speech warriors now?
hopefully getting ready to hang themselves over the epstein list
CBS has been losing money for years. Skydance is gunna rip the guts out of it and then flog it off to institutional investors.
They already didn't renew After Midnight hard to believe thay is not related.
I believe that After Midnight wasn't renewed because Taylor Tomlinson was going back on tour and they decided to not continue without her.
That's correct, she said so on one of the episodes. A shame, but you can tell the last few months were stressful to say the least.
I found her personality on the show very unnatural. It was clear to me that she was doing and saying what she was told to, and everything was heavily scripted. She is not a fantastic actress. I couldn't watch more than a couple of episodes.
I'm pleased she is going back on tour, because that is where her particular wit and delivery really shine.
Yeah and she totally checked out - it's really obvious. She reads straight from the cue cards. She laughs contractually at the really bad forced jokes by actors who think they're funny. Clearly she hates the show now and feels it is a huge burden.
I can't blame her for not wanting to renew.
Personally I like that Ellison is going to lose all of the talent in this acquisition.
