Jon Stewart expressed discontent with CBS for abruptly ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He affirmed his loyalty to Colbert, highlighting their shared history on The Daily Show. Stewart criticized CBS for not recognizing the value of their late-night programs, which he claims contributed to their significant financial worth. He addressed the implications of a proposed merger between Paramount Global and Skydance, which has encountered regulatory challenges. Furthermore, he pointed out CBS's failure to protect its long-standing late-night franchise, raising concerns about the motivations behind the cancellation.
I understand the fear that you and your advertisers have with $8 billion at stake, but understand this: Truly, the shows that you now seek to cancel, censor, and control-a not insignificant portion of that $8 billion value came from those fucking shows-that's what made you that money.
The fact that CBS didn't try to save their No. 1-rated network late-night franchise that's been on the air for over three decades is part of what's making everyone wonder, was this purely financial or maybe the path of least-resistance for you.
