>ABC has no more late shows>CBS will have no more late shows from May 2026 onwards>NBC still has two and are contracted for both to run until 2028how is this sustainable given they exist simply to set money on fire?
>>214612073(((Hollywood accounting)))
>>214612073It’s clear that at least one of them isn’t making it to the end of 2026.I assume Meyers will get canned first.Maybe they’ll just keep Fallon and cut his pay way down. He just needs enough to afford his mortgage and his daily handle of booze.
>>214612073seff is probably going to get fired in the near future. Jimmy is on the most "prestigious" of the late night shows because his dates back to the 60s with Carson and Jimmy actually cut his budget when asked. Colbert refused to cut his show's budget
>>214612073it keeps lorne michaels happy for now
>>214612222>>214612073oh yeah also lorne michaels has a lot of pull at NBC so NBC is willing to keep his shitty SNL and Late night shows until he dies/retires
reminder: “cancel culture” exists as a means for the dying entertainment industry to get out of actor contracts without breaching them or admitting the entertainment industry is dying and has been since 2007
>>214612073They both only get key demo numbers in less than 200k numbers. Youtube absolutely demolishes them.
>>214612318>entertainment industry is dyingcalm downtv is dying
>>214612483I don't watch regular antenna tv. My home TV has a PC and PS5 connected to it so I stream everything. Every Christmas when I visit my parents I go through their channels since they have regular TV and it's insane what is on now compared to my youth. There are entire broadcast TV channels, multiple in fact that are just live feeds of certain Twitch streamers. Apparently people watch this on TV. We used to mock when cable channels like Spike would just show Cops all day this is even worse. I wonder how shocked people will be when the great Tonight Show gets replaced with The Quatering or something just based on how cheap it is
>>214612365YouTube is like Chinese and Russian bots
>>214612695Yes, but the reality is young people are not watching tv and are clearly going somewhere else for their entertainment.
>>214612073Kimmel's late night show was bound to get axed they were just looking for the excuse to end it.
Fallon has best ratings and is least annoying, it'll him vs Gutfield until the end of television.
>>214612693>just live feeds of certain Twitch streamerswhat ghetto ass cable do ur parents have
I cant wait until State Media is nothing but MIGA shills. You think comics are too jewish today? Oh Vey!
>>214612693Go on Tubi and they have a "creator verse" section. /Tv/ was always so condescending to online creators but they beat out television in the places that matters most; audience numbers and production logistics.
How the fuck does Seth Myers have a career to begin with? This nigga has never said anything funny.
>>214612365jimmy gets youtube views though, his engagement numbers are still really good
>>214613150its not cable its the channels they get with their antenna
>>214613246Why would advertisers pay for a tv slot when he's only getting demo views on youtube?
>>214613431because it gets them cheaper advertising during big view shows like SNF
>>214613431They are the same advertisers on his YouTube. Additionally, he only gets YouTube views because of tv infrastructure, thereby it behooves to keep the appearance. Also, tv tubers get insane cpm, like $12-15 and maybe more, so while they aren't AS profitable Fallon makes millions annually. Beyond that, the point is not profit; it's the MESSAGE. Colbert and Kimmel have become unpalatable to average people, they cannot steer the message any longer.
>>214613536>They are the same advertisers on his YouTubeprove it
>>214612188With the other guys gone (forgot their names) audiences will flock to Fallon, and with all audiences combined he will have enough viewers to sustain he show for a while longer.
> "And all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'... And I'll look down and whisper 'No.'"
>>214612073Late shows bank on boomers leaving the tv on after falling asleep to their TV news
>>214613597Embedded ads and product demos are a thing. You think those actors and musicians just showed up to the late night show because they wanted to talk?
>>214612073Remember Strike Force Five?
>>214613990prove that the same advertisers pay for both platforms
>>214613992WHAT WOULD HAPPEN... IF FIVE OF AMERICA'S TOP ELEVEN MOST BELOATHED TALK SHOWS HOSTS ALL TALKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, FOR AN HOUR?WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT... ON THE FIRST EVER EDITION... OF STRIKE FORCE FIVE.
>>214613878It is pretty much just sleep ASMR for a generation that can't handle quietness
>>214614021BOOM
>>214614015No. You are being purposely incredulous and even if I took the time, you would still diffuse and dissemble. Because you are not an honest person. There is no argument to win here, I made a factual statement on the nature of entertainment and you are a cumbersome person.
If Colbert and Kimmel are THAT popular then what's the problem? Another network will instantly hire them for those audience numbers.
>>214614052Let's meet the Strike Force, starting with the former host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, from his headquarters in South Carolina... Stephen Colbert!
>>214614055>noWhat a dumb thing to lie about just to "win" a pointless argument. You say baseless shit and call others dishonest. What a garbage person you are
>>214614086Hello Jimmy, it's an honor to be here.
>>214614117...This is where we should all applaud each other.It is an honor... to be with you here, Stephen.Next, from his home studio... in Long Island, where he stays up late every night recording himself singing along with the Bee Gees Karaoke, the former host of the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon! Hello Jimmy Fallon!
>>214613662Audiences won't "flock" anywhere. The entire late night market is 80 year olds who fall asleep watching the news.
Late Night will get canned eventually and they'll give that time back to the affiliates to run syndicated reruns or infomercials. ABC and CBS will do the same with their post-11:30 timeslots.NBC will keep The Tonight Show but it will have it's production values reduced until it's basically a podcast.
Late Night TV should’ve died in 2010 with the rest of television
>>214614146HEEEEEEEEY! Thank you, so happy to be here. This is exciting.And good morning.
>>214614055Just shut the fuck up lmao
>>214614152
>>214612073NOMORESCOOPS
>>214614172Mention to the listeners, for the purposes of this podcast, Jimmy will be known as Tammy from here on. And then..
>>214613119Fallon fucks kids.
>>214614238*laughing*
>>214613119>Gutfieldwho?
>>214614263...Jimmy's upstairs TV neighbor, fans of this show know him as "The Cute One", the Nick Carter to our Backstreet Boys, unemployment's own Seth Meyers! Seth?
>>214614333This is so exciting to be talking before.. 12:37 at night.
>>214612073No one but relics care about these shows anyway.
>>214614352Say hello to the ladies Seth.Tell us, what color are your eyes?I.... looked at pictures of you for... a lot of the night last night, I can't figure it out.
>>214614408I've been told "ocean blue".Jimmy.
>>214614440And for those who will criticize us, who say "we don't need a show... hosted by a group of four middle-aged, straight white men," we bring you a FIFTH middle-aged, straight white man, but this one is from ENGLAND,
>>214612222Jay Leno already destroyed The Tonight Show's legacy when he took it back from Conan.
>>214612483movies dyinglive theatre has been dead for 40 yearsvaudeville, very deadmeanwhile tiktok is still chinese owned and controlled
>>214614484*laughing*
>>214614488>when he took it back from Conan.>YOINKS!
>>214614523...which is an entirely different country, he is the... currently force majeured former host of Last Week Tonight... John Oliver! Hello John!
they know the new thing for propaganda is podcasts.but they also know that podcasts are dying since Joe Rogan's Spotify deal. so what now.
>>214612073>no USAID money to launder
>>214614555Hallo.Kimmel.At first I'd say Seth's eyes are Gatorade Blue, but... y'know reasonably we can agree to disagree.Also, I cannot believe that you're the only one who gets to have a soundboard. I didn't know we were doing soundboards, that changes everything.
>no tranny yetgreat, but not realistic
>>214614565These cowards won't even try their own podcasts, it's a guaranteed humiliation ritual to see their actual view numbers and troll comments listed under the video.
>>214614585As we mentioned, we are the STRIKE FORCE FIVE.
>>214614617They did do a podcast. Strike Force Five, remember?
>>214614634>>214614654BOOM
>>214614654>remember?no, nobody does.
>>214614679Shyeah,We-We mentioned that twice already, Jimmy Kimmel.Do you wanna explain what this is and... how did we get...
>>214612073Boomers are dying off and they're the only ones who watch night shows.Millennials and Zoomers come home after work and watch twitch vods or listen to podcasts.
>>214614707Well, what is, Jimmy?
>>214612073>USAID money disappears>So does the late night show format
>>214614110>BaselessYes celebrities and products just show up on talk shows apropro of nothing, how intelligent you are. Bro was right to leave you hanging, you have subhuman iq.
>>214614748What is Strike Force Five? How did that start--
>>214614772BOOM
>>214614764I didn't ask you what advertising is or why its needed I asked you specifically how you knew company x is paying Kimmel to advertise both on TV and youtube and you keep deflecting because you know you lied so I accept your concession
>>214612073These are really cheap if you get the host to take a pay cutThink about it, it is just one guy at a table talking to whoever somewhat known wants to promote whatever for free if they show up and a band plays musicThat is a very low budget format, get someone to do it for cheap and it can live until broadcast tv dies These cost 40 million because the hosts demand it
>>214614790--Master Kimmel?
>>214614830Oh-ho, oh I see, everytime you say the NAME...this all happens.
>>214614862That's a good warning.
> Larry Ellison -- the Oracle mega-billionaire who has donated millions to the IDF -- just had his kid buy Paramount/CBS to have Bari Weiss run, is trying to buy CNN, and now will buy TikTok (with Andreessen Horowitz).>Lucky break for Israel as its support collapses in the US.Israel is clamping down
>>214614888It's for everyone, [laughing] it's not just for me. Ha ha ha.
>>214614906>CBS News had “scandals” because 60 Minutes reported twice on carnage in Gaza (it was then owned by Shari Redstone, fanatical Israel supporter).>Congress got the votes to ban TikTok only once Dems became convinced it allows too much Israel criticism. Problem solved!
>>214613163They’ll replace PBS with this
>>214614919This is a Zoom that we've been doing since the WGA strike started. When was that?How many years ago did the WAGA--?
>>214615133A.... hundred, and fifteen days? Something like that now? May 2nd, baby.
>>214615162The LAST time there was a writers strike... there wasn't a lot of communication between the late night hosts... and as a result there was a lot of nonsense that went on.
>>214612222Seth is lukewarm at best. Not sure how he's still on TV. No offense. He's good at what he does it's just not that funny. Fucking fatso with the mustache, what's his face, Shane Gillis, he's Jackie Gleason compared to Seth Meyers. Saturday night live is the best concept in the history of the television program, it's not going anywhere. They just need someone smart and witty that's not just a puppet for 6 trauma informed writers.
>>214615211So Steven suggested we get together, and talk... through our... issues and whatever we're dealing with and uh, we--
>>214615246Did Stephen suggest this?
>>214615284Stephen did suggest this, yes.
>>214615324I did. I did suggest this, Fallon. Why-Why are you rewriting history? Again?
>>214612073Time for Elmo to return to HBO Max.
what are the chances Kimmel's calls into Colbert's show tonight? Today might be the first time I ever watch Colbert's show. I never seen it before only clips
>>214615351I just... kinda look through my e-mails...make sure who... suggested....
>>214615422Suggested what?
>>214615458Oh, that we talk.
>>214615485That we talk.... as part of what group? *chuckling*
>>214615389Elmo said antisemitic things (bid no-no on Hollywood) on his Twitter account he later deleted.
>>214615510OH! Stephen definitely came up with "Strike Force Five!"
>>214615622BOOM
Once again I do not understand the Fallon targeting. He never makes anything but the most surface level, basically inoffensive Trump "jokes." Shit like calling him an orange fool. Is that really so upsetting?
>>214615644I can't believe I fell for that.
>>214615701Land this podcast before everybody stops listening.
>>214615653Basically in 2016 when Fallon had Trump on and "humanized" him he got a lot of shit for it so he did a 180 and started shitting on Trump
>>214612073NBC will end the format soon. They will buy out the contracts.
>>214615864There was a weird 3-6 month time when TDS wasn't a thing and even SNL had him on and treated him with respect
he won
>>214616533>he wonBy making it out of Haiti alive?
>how is this sustainable given they exist simply to set money on fire?are you 12? they're obviously going all in on streaming services since no one watches tv.
>>214614906>>214614933Colbert and Kimmel ain't coming back.Gaza will be remade into an amusement parkCrying is all you have left
>>214612073The tonight show has been on air for 71 yearsThe other have only existed for considerably less timeNBC isn't letting a legacy show go
Hey Jimmy's, enjoy every sandwich in retirement. Sad. DJT
>>214616744Forgot image. These image boards are tricky.
>>214616744>>214616778MAGA! Best president!
>>214612073He won
>>214612222>seff is probably going to get fired in the near future.isnt he doing the same political stuff as colbert and kimmel just not as much? anyway having two talk shows on back to back is redundant
>>214618320>isnt he doing the same political stuff as colbert and kimmel just not as much?no one will ever know because no one on the planet stays up to watch him. his entire audience is made up of boomers who fell asleep watching the first 15 mins of fallon or the local news
>>214616533Trump should send him back to Haiti since he couldn't stop talking about how great it was
