Remember the storyline in V for Vendetta where that late-show host makes fun of the Dear Leader, and eventually gets head-bagged late one night, never to be seen again?
I'm surprised honestly it hasn't already happened in the new USA. I am willing to bet cancelling this show was a secret clause of that $20 million 'settlement' (bribe), agreed in a smoke-filled room and never written down, as additional incentive to allow the Paramount merger.
What a fucking horrible regime the USA has become.
EDIT: Someone pointed out on another posting of this news that The Late Show is one of their most popular shows (or the most popular late-night show at least), too. This is obvious pandering for favour.

Cowards.
Daily Show gets cancelled next?
After the merger goes through of course.
They also lost the 60 Minutes producer, a show also critical of Trump.

TBH, I haven't watched late night television since we lost Letterman, Ferguson and O'Brien.
We will never again see the likes of:

Are we surprised? Look at the lineup of shows, more copaganda dramas than any other network.
