Stephen Colbert's Ratings Hit New All-Time Low
Update: Washington Post Braces for a FIFTY PERCENT Cut in Jobs

Remember, six months ago, in the immediate aftermath of his cancellation, Colbert's ratings rose based entirely on Sympathy Viewing and liberals all claimed he was going to build the show into a juggernaut that CBS would have to un-cancel.


I've got a special delivery: Six barrels of 100% pure pesticide-free Nope Juice.



The Stephen Colbert ratings freefall has reached an undeniable breaking point. As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert approaches its already-announced cancellation, the program is now posting record-low January numbers, marking one of the steepest late-night declines in recent television history.

According to Nielsen data reported this week, Colbert's show is averaging roughly 285,000 viewers in the crucial 25--54 demographic, putting it on track for its worst January performance ever in the category that advertisers actually care about. With just months left before the curtain closes for good, the ratings trajectory suggests viewers have been checking out long before CBS formally pulled the plug.
Stephen Colbert Ratings Hit Historic Lows in Key Demo

While total viewership erosion has been gradual over the past several years, the collapse in the 25--54 demo tells the real story. Late-night television lives or dies by that number, and Colbert's January performance places him firmly near the bottom of the competitive pack.

The show's demo average now sits far below what the franchise once delivered during its peak years -- and even trails where The Late Show performed during periods widely considered transitional or unstable. In practical terms, this means fewer ad dollars, weaker affiliate confidence, and little justification for long-term investment.

For a host once positioned as the undisputed leader of late night, the falloff is stark.

Cancellation No Longer Feels Abrupt -- It Feels Inevitable

...

With Colbert's final shows scheduled for May, the ratings collapse has reframed the narrative entirely -- and it directly contradicts the wave of progressive outrage that followed the cancellation announcement.

Many left-leaning voices rushed to denounce CBS's decision as politically motivated, even attempting to cast it as retaliation linked to President Trump. But the January numbers tell a far less ideological story: an unmistakable audience collapse.

...
The Stephen Colbert ratings collapse is more than a single show's problem. It highlights the fragile state of late-night television as a whole -- particularly for hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers who have leaned too heavily into predictable commentary rather than entertainment.

Colbert's record-low January figures now stand as a blunt data point: viewers have moved on. And with cancellation already locked in, there is no runway left to reverse the trend.

Speaking of cancellation: The Washington Post continues losing money and Bezos is going to put the paper through another round of massive layoffs.

I missed the scale of the coming layoffs: up to H A L F of all leftwing layabouts may be fired.

Paul Farhi
@farhip

Per former colleagues at the @washingtonpost: In a Zoom meeting today, Post foreign staff was told by editors that up to *half* the Post’s newsroom will be cut imminently. Biggest cuts to foreign and sports staff.

Sickening.

Brian Stelter whines that Bezos isn't being a good "steward" of the Washington Post.

Jon Podhoretz responded that he's not a "steward," he's the owner.

But the bratty, underperforming losers at the paper think that Daddy Warbucks should just keep bailing them out forever.


As I've said before, rich men buy papers for three reasons. The worst reason is to make money. Papers don't make money. But they'd like to lose as little as possible. The Post is losing lots of money. Bezos' money.

They also buy papers for prestige. But the Washington Post has no prestige. It's a woke clown show. It brings shame, like David French's browser history.

The third reason is that rich men think they know something and they want to spread their ideology. Bezos is trying to do that, trying re-orient the paper to be pro-free-markets, for example, but the bratty employees think Bezos should pay them to push their ideology.

That's not how this works. As they say, he who pays the piper calls the tune.

John Nolte responded to some pussy whining that the Post might shut down its foreign desk:


Christopher Miller
@ChristopherJM

Our journalist colleagues at The Washington Post here in Ukraine provide vital coverage, particularly of the human impact of Russia's ongoing war. It would be a major loss for The Post if it closes or downsizes this team or its other excellent foreign bureaus. But it would especially be a loss to the communities they cover and the American public, too. Hoping The Post leadership comes to its senses.

40 To be fair, the entire "Late Night Talk Show" model is completely preposterous in the Internet age. The only time it ever had a chance was when people had to stay up to 11:00 to get caught up on the news and then they would see that some actor or musician they liked was going to be on Carson or Letterman or Leno.

Now you're asking people to stay up past midnight when work the next morning when celebrity interviews are available anytime on YouTube and jokes about current events can be found just by opening Twitter I mean X.

Colbert sucks but there's no reason that this kind of show should even exist.

From Vanity Fair...

Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is ready to branch out into entrepreneurship. She’s about to launch her own line of lingerie, and not alone: According to a source quoted in US Weekly, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have “invested” in the venture. “This has been a huge project for her and something she’s been working on for the last year,” the insider said. Perhaps this explains why the American was in Venice to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Bezos at the end of June.

Carson doesn't but best viewed by YT clips of specific interviews. Craig Ferguson is almost universally hilarious if you like his style of comedy which is absurdist and close to Robin Williams. The couple of clips with Robin Williams and Craig playing off each other are literally two guys firing off one liners so fast that you can't catch up.

It's a type of circular reasoning, but there's some nuances. I give you the perfect, reduced to the most absurd example of question-begging:

American Eagle doubled in the last month or so, after I started watching it at $12.50 or so. Took off $5 up one day, so I could but it. Then they went to $28 or so, which I assume is because America loves big ones, more than trannies.

------------------------------

cbs/paramount has recently aquired broadcast rights to UFC (cage-fighting). most of the recent CBS 're-commitment to honest journalism' was to appease UFC ownership (Dana White, spoke at RNC , close friend of PDJT). so that the deal would be go thru CBS previously only had hit pieces on Dana/UFC, but recently, have him on the Morining Show doing a promo for the latest UFC event (which was this past Weekend).
its an uncomfortable dynamic to watch. CBS personalities who mortally hate anyone not in their dimension, now have to pretend they are having an honest interview/conversation.
btw...the broadcast sucked...loaded with commercials/promos(the ppv model works much better for this sport), its almost unwatchable now. however, CBS will broadcast the UFC event at the Whitehouse in July...this has and will influence their 'news content' .

252 btw...the broadcast sucked...loaded with commercials/promos(the ppv model works much better for this sport), its almost unwatchable now.

Well, a $10.00 Paramount Plus option does have it charms when compared to paying $90.00 for the full pay per view, dropping $40.00 at a Buffalo Wild Wings to catch the event or, paying $25.00 at my local movie theater.

253 >>>...rich men think they know something and they want to spread their ideology. Bezos is trying to do that, trying re-orient the paper to be pro-free-markets, for example, but the bratty employees think Bezos should pay them to push their ideology.

Not much anyone can do about Xi offing his own generals. Xi set the stage when he became head honcho, the last years of Mao had him cavorting with his harem and the Gang of Four terrorizing the rest of the Chicom hierarchy. Eventually teh PLA had enough and told Mao that the Gang went or he went and made him do the dirty deed. They then saddled him with a replacement which in short order became the new face for leadership which was actually a committee.

Xi decided to overturn all to centralize leadership in himself that so you will get the rumors of coups and palace intrigue until he dies or becomes ex leader Xi.

262 Stephen Colbert's Ratings Hit New All-Time Low

Also pretend Catholic Colbert.

I saw a clip recently where Ricky Gervais indulged in extending his worldview, basically recanning Hume. Gervais said that if you did away with all the books, all the results of Science would come back, but books on religion wouldn't.

And despite the multitude of holes in this scenario, Colbert nodded along: "That's good. That's really good."

Is Colbert the type of faithful Catholic that believes the Lord would ever permit his scripture to be done away with?! Or couldn't arrange for it to come back exactly as written?

most of the fighters are MAGA...and were previously not censored (post-fight interviews, attire) . Dana has always had the attitude 'we dont censor our athletes, they can say anything they want , they are grown adults who beat the hell out of eachother for a living...words arent going to harm anyone'. will be interesting to see if 'a memo goes out' now that they have new masters.

271 Has anyone thought of running Carson reruns on late night. There are a gazillion of them, and they'd beat the crap out of the likes of Colbert and Kimmel.

Colbert Show was losing 10+mil a year...a real loss-leader, with a dwindling audience.
couple that with federal de-funding some NGOs / RFKs exposure of Pharma as the main funders of mockingbird Media...its not a coincidence that these shows will cease to be funded/ and cease to exist as their funding pipeline gets cutoff. see FoxNews who had the highest ratings but still couldnt get advertisers(outside of Pharma and MyPillow). (or fraudulent NGO money because they are 'Red team') . without the fraud, all of these media companies cease to exist / be profitable.

278 I'm sure half of Colbert's audience assumed he was already canceled.

Late night ISN'T that hard. I could listen to Craig Fergeson hit on hot babes all night. He was effortlessly funny and entertaining. Same with Conan, or even Letterman. None were overtly political.

I can't think of any current late-night host who is remotely in that category. Talk shows should be about hanging with your friends and pals, having off the cuff BS sessions. Getting to know stars.

There used to be a schtick with the wild animal guy comes on the show with a beaver, or snake, or something. The point was to just, bring something interesting to talk about, and have people let their hair down a bit.

Look at Joe Rogan work. He gets people to talk about all sorts of crazy stuff. There are a few podcasters out there that could fit the bill. Ana Faris. Adam Buxton. Offer them a $5 million contract and let them do their magic.

Posted by: El Mariachi - Attorney at Law at January 26, 2026 06:57 PM (vOtXJ)

279 That's an excellent point about the funding. I always wondered why these leftwing media outfits would have low viewer/readership and still NEVER go out of business.
