    That’s one hell of a coincidence given all the 60 Minutes drama with resigning producers, lawsuits and settlements, and the Skydance merger.

    Also it’s the number one late night show. Why aren’t the other networks cancelling their less successful late night shows?

    All seems a bit odd to me.

      It certainly could be a coincidence that they were told to canceled a show that’s also loosing them $40M.

        That article is also from just a few days ago. Very convenient. Can you find an older article?

        Why are all the other networks not losing all of this money on their late night shows which have lower ratings?

          They probably have substantially lower budgets.
          Late night shows can be very cheep to produce. It might just be The Late Show with a frankly insane $100M budget. If they cut that in half, they’d be profitable.
