ICYMI … Colbert went after his personal community in his monologue early this week — likening a $16 million lawsuit settlement over a “60 Minutes” interview President Donald Trump claimed was deceptively edited to a “large, fats bribe.” A transfer Dave says is simply pure “vanity.”
CBS introduced it was canceling the present days later, main some to marvel if the 2 occasions are linked.
Portnoy says if an worker at Barstool disrespected him on air AND if that worker’s present was shedding thousands and thousands of {dollars} — Reuters stories the present misplaced $40 million final yr — he’d scrap the undertaking and host in a heartbeat.

Dave factors out the decline in late-night viewership … arguing it is costlier and fewer watched than most podcasts at Barstool — so, it simply would not make fiscal sense to maintain it going.
Whereas Portnoy says he has a ton of respect for late-night discuss exhibits — his dad’s an enormous David Letterman fan — he does admit he is not a Colbert man … and hasn’t loved his work since he left Comedy Central.

BTW … Colbert delivered the information that he is out after this upcoming season to followers — and he was extra complimentary of the community than he had been beforehand, so we’ll have to attend and see if he takes extra photographs at Paramount or lets sleeping canine lie over the following yr.
Both method, followers can decry CBS’ transfer all they need … Portnoy says it simply is smart moneywise.
