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.

Colbert's show had top ratings for their time slot so far in 2025 Dave says Jul 18 #64

What's Gutfeld's show like? BannonsLiver Jul 18 #43
Not remotely funny. He's the least funny "comedian" ever. Wiz Imp Jul 18 #50
Thank you. I had assumed the person I asked knew, because they seem REALLY excited about the ratings. BannonsLiver Jul 18 #74
It's right wing "humor" which is never funny. Wiz Imp Jul 18 #75
Conservative "humor" basically making fun of people. Punching down they think. underpants Jul 18 #60
According to Google, Colbert is most often the highest rated. Joinfortmill Jul 18 #45
You're comparing apples to oranges. Wiz Imp Jul 18 #47
Not true, Colbert is top rated in the 11:30 pm eastern time slot - I provided a cite earlier Dave says Jul 18 #67
You have to be kidding. Colbert was losing to Gutfeld? Seriously? Ouch! That's pathetic. Wiz Imp Jul 18 #27
Gutfield has the top rated late night show on television. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #31
Wow. That's a sad statement about this country. Gutfeld may be the least funny "comedian" in history. Wiz Imp Jul 18 #35
Which "conservative" based comedy TV shows does he compete against? RoeVWade Jul 18 #39
He's on opposite all the 1130 late night shows Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #48
You're wrong Wiz Imp Jul 18 #53
He still pulls in higher ratings regardless. Nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 18 #56
Yes, in part because there are many more people watching TV period while it is airing than the number of people Wiz Imp Jul 18 #63
Why does the truth matter? SocialDemocrat61 Jul 18 #62
And it matters that it's conservative. Gutfeld would splinter more if there were other comedy talk shows on TV. RoeVWade Jul 18 #54
I don't watch television, so I'm unsure, but isn't that Gut guy in a different time slot? Dave says Jul 18 #66
There is absolutely zero evidence for that Wiz Imp Jul 18 #61
