Kevin O’Leary: 'Only a Moron' Would Behave Like Stephen Colbert
"But that wasn't the fatal blow. CBS could have cut the staff to the bone and hired a cheaper host — if they believed there was still life left in the late-night format. Fox’s Greg Gutfeld is the lone exception — but he abandoned the format years ago. No desk, no monologue, no scripted celebrity guests. Just a budget setup, a panel of sharp weirdos — and ratings that make the networks wince."
"Stephen Colbert built a brand on letting his Trump Derangement Syndrome drive his comedy. It finally caught up with him, and CBS is cancelling his show.
"Of course, leftists blame everything they don’t like on Donald Trump. When the president celebrated CBS’s decision, Colbert took to the airwaves on Monday to get ugly.
“ 'Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism: ‘Go f*** yourself,’” Colbert said with particular nastiness.
"I would argue that profanity doesn’t take talent. If Colbert had the level of talent and sophistication that he claims he possesses, he would’ve been able to come up with something witty. Instead, he revealed himself to be a nasty hack with nothing better to say than an F-bomb." . . .
"To be fair, I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to lose your job like Colbert has. But to handle it as gracelessly — TDS or not — as he is reveals something unflattering about his character. It’s not a good look."
Letterman was funny and entertaining, sure, but never missed a chance to dig at Republicans.
CBS announced it will not replace Stephen Colbert with another chat program. Maybe they could try a comedy show. . . ."For the Democrats, the Colbert cancellation is just one more loss inflicted on them by Donald Trump in his first six months in office. The proof is their hysterical — in both senses of the word — reactions. “Stephen Colbert is the best in the business,” tweeted former VP nominee and Dem macho man Tim Walz. “He always told truth to power and pulled no punches.” Best what, one might ask — mope, hack, scold? Certainly not comedian. And as for always telling the truth, his cringeworthy vaccine dance number during the COVID scare should dispel that idea." . . .
"Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld mocked them all, to include Joe Biden poop jokes*. The result is Gutfeld’s 3.2-million nightly viewers tops Colbert’s 2.4 million, Kimmel’s 1.7 million, Fallon’s 1.2 million, and Meyer’s sub-million at a fraction of their production cost. Gutfeld hit close to five million viewers one night last September, when his guest was Donald Trump. He has one more big advantage over his four rivals. He’s funny." . . .
*Sorry, but I find Gutfeld a turnoff at that particular juncture. TD
Johnny Carson Silences '60 Minutes' Host with Answer He Didn’t See Coming
"Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" shares a DM clip of Johnny Carson telling "60 Minutes'" Mike Wallace why he didn't discuss politics on "The Tonight Show" and why future late night comedians like Stephen Colbert would be wise to follow his advice."
