According to a Hollywood Reporter poll just released, Colbert has successfully alienated self-described Republicans who see what’s being offered on a nightly basis and exploring or staying with other options. And with the country as polarized as it is, the host is thereby saying goodbye to half his potential audience, which can’t be a sound business model.
Per The Hollywood Reporter‘s survey of 1000 late-night viewers aged 18-65, only 17 percent of those identified themselves as Republican watch Colbert, while attracting 47 percent of those who identify as Democrats, a 30-point gap. But more liberals watch late-night TV than stuffy, old conservatives, right? Guess again. In Kimmel’s case, the split is 34 percent Democrats, 33 percent Republicans. In Fallon’s case, it’s 36-31 Democrats.

So I take it this is an attempt to program those of us who watch the show every night to stop watching it? I'm sure the dolt lemmings out there will boycott the Colbert show because dolt lemmings do as they are told.
ReplyDeleteLetterman was just as bad
ReplyDeleteAnd I did not watch Letterman either.
ReplyDeleteGOOD!
ReplyDeletebye,bye colbert...
ReplyDeleteMouthpiece for the commies.
ReplyDeleteIt's comedy, folks. When you take away the jokes, it's no longer funny.
ReplyDeleteyou can tell just by the interviews that he is for the democrats and against the republicans
ReplyDeleteIf you look at his guest list it is obvious it is generated by the white house. Libs are praised by him and nothing but snarky comments about all others.
ReplyDeletePS: he is an idiot.
"I'm sure the dolt lemmings out there will boycott the Colbert show because dolt lemmings do as they are told."
ReplyDeleteNo dumbass - I'll avoid this program because it is written by and for ignorant liberal democrats. Also because Colbert is dull, predictable and not entertaining. The 'dolt lemmings' are the ones who continue to view this insipid crap.
Republicans have jobs and can't stay up that late. Stephen WHO?
ReplyDeleteGet a real poll going!
Craig Ferguson was the best in years. Sad to see him leave last year.
ReplyDeleteThose who don't understand Colbert--take your Sears Roebuck catalog back to the out house and see what's in your hand...the man is brilliant: you are ignorant...please don't breed!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks this guy is brilliant has an IQ of a out house.
Delete652 what makes him brilliant? The fact he grew up in a privilege plantation style home in the South? Or the fact he tells everyone he is from Washington D.C and hides his deep Southern Slang while at the same time preaching to people to be themselves. Oh, guess what flag was flying on his home growing up?
DeleteHe lost his bite when he abandoned his personae.... He's boring without it. Even though I knew I was watching fiction, it was fun. Colbert's real life personality is just boring. Give me the old school pundit which I learned much from, regardless of the political end. I miss you, Steven Colbert.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the hell he even got the job in the first place. He is worthless.
ReplyDeleteIf libs watch more late nite tv, it's because they don't have to get up & go to work!
ReplyDeleteHe's not funny.
