Ba bye Colbert! “A one of a kind that can’t be replaced so we’re ending it altogether”
“Blah, blah, blah, …has nothing to do with ratings or content…blah, blah”.
Translation: “Ya suck!!!! And we can’t keep taking the financial hit for your TDS-induced crappy viewership numbers. We’re giving you the rest of a viewing year so you don’t bitch too much and upset our by now totally culled liber viewership. But we want a chance at that large population of normal people instead”.
