CBS axes The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight — final episode at 11:35 PM ET.
Colbert led his timeslot with ~2.5 million viewers… but the show still lost $40 million+ yearly (with Colbert’s salary reportedly ~$15 million).
Meanwhile, newer shows like Gutfeld! at 10pm… pic.twitter.com/V97noCSzV9
