In reply to the discussion: So Stephen Colbert joins the ranks [View all]Wiz Imp
(6,185 posts)27. You have to be kidding. Colbert was losing to Gutfeld? Seriously? Ouch! That's pathetic.
I've always liked Colbert, but if he has lower ratings than Gutfeld, it's hard to imagine his show is making money.

I hope NBC doesn't cave - my guess would be Kimmel or O'Donnell. What a world we live in these days.

Have a cite? (Kiddin') "end of season cancellation" could have been negotiated. I have no cite either.

Thank you. I had assumed the person I asked knew, because they seem REALLY excited about the ratings.

Conservative "humor" basically making fun of people. Punching down they think.

Not true, Colbert is top rated in the 11:30 pm eastern time slot - I provided a cite earlier

Wow. That's a sad statement about this country. Gutfeld may be the least funny "comedian" in history.

Yes, in part because there are many more people watching TV period while it is airing than the number of people

And it matters that it's conservative. Gutfeld would splinter more if there were other comedy talk shows on TV.

I don't watch television, so I'm unsure, but isn't that Gut guy in a different time slot?
