Fuckin Elvis is such a grand old man.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

That was a nice tune. IS that how the show ended?

 

[jack]

That was the end of it @Reggie_Essent

 

[jack]

I got all choked up, because Paul and Elvis. Colbert I dont give too much of a shit about, he isnt funny, just the priciple of the thing.

I got all choked up, because Paul and Elvis. Colbert I dont give too much of a shit about, he isnt funny, just the principle of the thing.

 

[jack]

Elvis' wife is amazing too.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I don't understand your "principle" tbh. Trump has nothing to do with these late night shows being unprofitable.

 

[jack]

Erm, anytime any of these late night jokers goes off on Trump he gets the FCC after their parent companies, which is EXACTLY what happened to this show.

 

[jack]

There's a merger coming up and they are dangling approval pending the cancellation of this show, and Colbert.

 

[jack]

Then's the facts in the case.

 

[jack]

Tried it with Kimmel and failed. Not so much here.

 

[jack]

Them's the facts in the case.

 

[jack]

Disney's a different entity and cant be bullied like the networks as much.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

That's bullshit, jack. Colbert has been losing millions for years. And the Kimmel situation just continues the red ink for that network.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

But I will admit it is silly for the Trumpers to whine to the FCC.

 

[jack]

Its not bullshit Reg, it's exactly what happened. Has nothing to do with "profits" although they'll certainly spin that lie conveniently

 

[jack]

No late night shows really make money, thats not their purpose.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Sure, jack. If believing that makes you feel better, you just go ahead and believe it.

 

[jack]

Your comment has nothing to do with the discussion, or the reality of what just happened either.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Just go back and look at the numbers Carson, Leno and even Letterman pulled in every night, then look at the number those shows get now.

 

[jack]

yes, and look at the demographics over the decades.

 

[jack]

good grief reggie, the whole government has become completely corrupt and you still cling to lies to stay blind.

 

[jack]

we're getting screwed, and not even getting to come.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I'm just saying. Kimmel and Colbert simply have become unfunny due to their Trump derangement.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I like Jimmy Fallon though. He can still be funny and entertaining.

 

[jack]

Kimmel is funny sometimes as well, the rest are just meh, and I usually only watch them the next day on youtube if there was something notable on. It doesnt matter much to me, except they're trying to control and limit what can and cant be said in public.

@jack, you're right about Vobert, mostly. I would ass that in Hollywood, creative bookkeeping has ALWAYS shown losses for [roductins in order to vut back on rediual payments, etc. I sincerely doubt ny of the late night shows are actually losing money. They would have stopped doing them years ago if that were true.

@jack, you're right about Colbert, mostly. I would add that in Hollywood, creative bookkeeping has ALWAYS shown losses for [roductins in order to vut back on rediual payments, etc. I sincerely doubt ny of the late night shows are actually losing money. They would have stopped doing them years ago if that were true.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

That seems to be a paranoid fear of Lefties, but it simply isn;'t true.

 

[jack]

I never accepted "losing money" as a rationale for a show being on for 35 years and then being cancelled after Trump whines to his FCC buddy about it.
