Lemme break it down for you.

Colbert production costs $100m annually for XXX episodes 

Ratings are -300k than CBS #3 rated show NCIS with production budget of an estimated $288m for a XX episode season 

Here’s more. 

Streaming affects prime time viewership more than late night. For prime time to trail late night in numbers so closely is unprecedented. 

Colbert generates significant additional revenue on streaming platforms in REAL time. 

Watched any daily NCIS clips on Youtube, X or TikTok or Insta or FB? 

NOPE. 

CBS caved to get their merger approved just like with XX Minutes. Colbert is going to light Casino Mussolini up for XX months & it will be glorious. They’ll sue. They’ll win. It’s extortion. 

I’m right. You’re wrong.
