Stephen Colbert fans’ cancellation hysteria takes Trump Derangement Syndrome to the max (Video)

In this video, New York Post contributor Daniel McCarthy breaks down the real reason behind the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and why the conspiracy theories swirling around it miss the mark. While Democrats rush to blame Donald Trump and his influence over CBS’s parent company, McCarthy points to the harsh truth behind the show’s downfall: steep production costs, plummeting viewership, and a late-night format that has lost its audience.

McCarthy unpacks how Colbert’s shift from satire to partisan commentary alienated viewers and why claims of political interference ignore the financial realities at play. With the average viewer now pushing 70 and ad dollars drying up, Colbert’s exit is just the latest sign that legacy late-night TV is on life support. This video reveals what really killed Colbert’s show and why more late-night hosts may soon follow.
