CBS, you are knuckleheads for taking Stephen Colbert off the air.
Who in the world made that decision?
You can say what you want, but we all know it was because of his relentless late-night criticism of one Donald J. Trump. I mean, come on. Even US Senators questioned whether Colbert was canceled to avoid angering regulators or politicians tied to the Paramount/Skydance merger. I've always said that where there is smoke there is fire. And your hair is smoking, brothers.
In my opinion, Stephen is the funniest of the three major goofballs of late night television. You HAD him, and now you're letting him go.
It's kind of like going out with your fly rod, watching the biggest trout you ever saw whack your fly, and then, after hauling him in and seeing he is indeed the biggest fish you've ever caught, releasing him back into the water because the guy fishing next to you said he'd seen bigger. Are you kidding me? Did you ever even think to take a picture?
I'll admit something to you. I didn't start out as a Stephen Colbert fan. The only late nighter I ever really cared for was Dave. And Johnny, too, I guess. No one else really did it for me, not Jay, not Trevor (really didn't like him), not Corden, not Conan, and neither of the Jimmys.
But I've warmed up to Stephen in the last two years, and part of that is thanks to your bonehead move. Who wouldn't want to watch a sinking ship? Everyone slows down to rubberneck a speeder getting a ticket on the interstate. I'm no different, I guess.
But the great unwashed will one day rise up and hit you right where the good Lord split you. You've let the biggest and most entertaining fish go.
News for you. I will NOT be watching his replacement. I think Byron Allen's comedy is weak, unfunny. I'll be going to bed early, getting a little more rest, now that Stephen will be gone.
I hope someone else hires him. He's too funny not to have a job.
Now I just wish DJT didn't have one.
