Last year the newly installed Trump-fluffing management of CBS and Paramount canceled the number one program in late night television, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” They said that it was purely a financial decision, even though the programs on ABC and NBC, number two and three respectively, weren’t having any such financial problems.

In reality, it was a profoundly cowardly act of submission to corporate bosses who were seeking favor from Donald Trump and his administration in order to get his approval for a multibillion dollar merger. And if that weren’t enough, it was also a blatantly political act of alliance with Trump’s MAGA cult movement by Paramount’s owners, who are also Trump’s friends, to rid the airwaves of his critics.

One year later, the Emmy nominations have been announced for the past television season. And Colbert scored the most nominations of any of the late night talk shows. As reported by Latenighter…

“The CBS late-night show earned nine Emmy nominations for its final season Wednesday, the most the show proper has received in a single year since Stephen Colbert took over the franchise in 2015. Add in a nomination for Colbert Before Air, the show’s YouTube series, and the Colbert camp’s final-season tally rises to ten.”

The cancelation of Colbert may be one of the worst programming decision of this century. Paramount/CBS not only fired Colbert, but axed the “Late Show” entirely, a successful and iconic program that was launched by David Letterman 33 years ago. And what did they get for it? The time period that Colbert was winning every night dropped to last place with a syndicated hour schlock comedy, “Comics Unleashed.”

The news since Colbert’s departure has only gotten worse for Paramount/CBS. What follows are some high and low points.

Stephen Colbert’s Audience Flocks to Jimmy Kimmel, While CBS Suffers a Massive Ratings Decline
“The first full week of ratings for network late night television since ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ went dark have been released. And it doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the Donald Trump bootlickers at Paramount/CBS who canceled their number one program starring America’s favorite late night host.”

Stephen Colbert Delivers a Hilarious Acceptance/Farewell Speech at Writers Guild Award Ceremony
Colbert: “As we know, the revolution will not be televised. It was going to be televised, but then Paramount bought it. Evidently, the revolution was losing, like, $40 million a year. It had to go. I guess the revolution is thinking about starting a Substack.”

Trump Bids Farewell to Stephen Colbert With His Trademark Nastiness, Lies, and Bitter Jealousy
Trump: “Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts. Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Snowflake Trump Takes Credit For Canceling “DUMB” (With a B) Stephen Colbert
“The tender sensitivities of Donald Trump, and his massive yet fragile ego, continue to shine through the facade of bombast and bullying that he likes to put forward. His macho image of himself – setting aside his affinity for The Village People and muscular MMA fighters – is as fake as his layers of orange pancake makeup and B-52 hairstyles.”

Colbert will likely move on to bigger and better platforms for his wit, insight, and compassion. These Emmy nominations validate the work he has done and the appreciation of it from his peers. Trump, on the other hand, will only be remembered for his cruelty, ignorance, greed, power-mongering, and malignant narcissism. So congratulations, Stephen. And thank you for your attention to this matter.
