>The curtain has fallen on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, sparking more buzz than one of his fiery Trump monologues.
Depending on who you ask, Colbert was either a fearless truth-teller crushed by corporate politics — or a comic who let the jokes slide in favor of political lectures, and the ratings suffered as a result.
CBS pointed to declining ad revenue after 10 seasons, while critics claimed the host prioritized preaching over punchlines.
Fans, however, praised him as a clever satirist caught in the crossfire of CBS and Paramount’s $8-billion merger — a convenient pawn in the network’s effort to appease President Donald Trump.
