#3 He's like the WNBA, running on other peoples money. If they feel so bad for him, let them raise the money themselves. There are lots of useless channels on cable and satellite.

#5 Colbert's total audience was pretty good by 2025 standards. He regularly had 2M viewers.

However, the average age of his audience was 68, an age group that isn't advertisement friendly on late night TV.

Also, the digital reach of the show was lacking as people viewed other late night programs, e.g. Gutfield, far more than they viewed Colbert

#6 Colbert had an old base, not spending base. He is a money loser.
