There has been some outrage over both the axing of Stephen Colbert and more recently Jimmy Kimmel , i did not want to clog up the threads where they were placed with off topic stuff.
This seems like the perfect place.
If you look at the ratings charts, one can see that the ratings for the big three in late night wasteful TV have been consistently falling for some years.
These figures are a bit dated, but the trend was well in place.

Unfortunately that doesn't fit the narrative and smacks too much of common sense, which is another feature the ranters and chanters don't posses.

Maybe the shows producers, took the opportunity to get rid of a dated presenter, not that that ever happens.

It will be interesting to see if the show is re booted and iff so who the presenter is.
