I feel this might be part of it. I love Colbert but I don't like late shows and never watched his except a couple clips online. I know I'm not the only one.
I don't even watch the Daily Show anymore but I always watch Jon Stewart's clips. Again, I can't be the only one.
I had a landlord that would let you mail checks to get around it. But the leasing docs explicitly stated there was a 6% fee for every day rent was late and rent wasn't considered received until the check cleared.
So we had to mail the check like 2 weeks in advance in case it didn't arrive quickly enough and then sometimes he'd deposit it 1-2 after receipt and then it'd be a nail biter if it fully cleared in the 24-72 hours necessary for him not to consider it "late".
I hate that guy and he's like 90 now and still not dead despite cancer and two heart attacks.
