    Devil’s advocate says that Colbert got cancelled because late night talk shows aren’t profitable anymore. Apparently people don’t stay up to watch the show’s commercials but catch it on youtube instead the next day.

    Not that I would know, we’ve never had late night talk shows in Denmark, only two day old Letterman shows in the afternoon 20 years ago.

      I feel this might be part of it. I love Colbert but I don’t like late shows and never watched his except a couple clips online. I know I’m not the only one.

      I don’t even watch the Daily Show anymore but I always watch Jon Stewart’s clips. Again, I can’t be the only one.
