Dave Portnoy slammed Stephen Colbert after CBS canceled “The Late Show”. He said Colbert deserved to lose his job for attacking his own bosses. Portnoy called it pure capitalism that CBS axed the show. He argued no company would keep a money-losing employee who bites the hand that feeds him.
Colbert’s show lost $40 million last year. That’s a massive failure in business terms. Portnoy pointed out Colbert disrespected CBS on air right before getting canceled. That kind of arrogance doesn’t fly in the real world of hardworking Americans.
Portnoy explained that if any Barstool employee pulled what Colbert did, he’d fire them immediately. Loyalty matters in business. Trashing your own network while losing millions shows terrible judgment. Colbert forgot who signs his paycheck.
Late-night TV is dying because woke hosts lecture viewers instead of entertaining them. Podcasts now draw bigger crowds for less money. Colbert’s show cost too much and delivered too little. CBS made the smart call to cut their losses.
Portnoy admitted he stopped liking Colbert years ago. The comedian sold out his funny roots for lazy political jokes. Real comedy doesn’t need to punch down at half the country. Americans want unity, not division with their entertainment.
Colbert pretended to respect CBS after the cancellation announcement. But everyone knows that’s just fake damage control. Once a show gets the axe, the host’s nice words ring hollow. Colbert had his chance and blew it.
This is how capitalism works. Businesses can’t afford dead weight dragging them down. CBS did what any smart company would when facing huge losses. Portnoy’s plain truth-telling exposes the phony outrage about this cancellation.
Hardworking Americans understand you don’t keep funding failure. Colbert had his shot but turned his show into a money pit. CBS protected its shareholders instead of coddling a disrespectful millionaire host. That’s not cancel culture—it’s common sense.
