Stephen Colbert announces he’s bouncing and the numbers go UP. Imagine being so chronically unfunny that your absence is the first joke that lands in years. CBS didn’t lose a host... they lost a ratings anchor. Viewers didn’t tune in to say goodbye. The audience returned...like...the hostage situation is over. CBS execs pretending to be sad is the funniest thing he’s ever inspired. They’re already measuring the studio for someone who can tell a joke. The article calls it a “ratings plot twist.” The only twist is that it took this long for people to realize they didn’t actually like the show. Colbert leaves...ratings rise...CBS smiles politely...internet laughs...Colbert fans insist it’s a coincidence...math disagrees. And that’s the whole story. The man walked out… and the audience walked back in

Going from memory.

Nod.

Yep.......6.74 million for Colbert’s final episode vs....970,000 for the reruns that aired after he left. Live episode vs. rerun. Nielsen confirms both.Blackvegetable » 5 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ Going from memory.

Smug, smarmy . . . repetitive punchlines.
Stupid sycophants needing narrative reinforcement make up his audience.
But you're still 100% correct. That's how **** Colbert was. Great measuring stick.
Please seat yourself.

Maybe the ratings dropped because TRUMP closed the strait of hormuz, which caused the gas hike under biden
