"I'm obligated to tell you that CBS maintains it pulled the plug on late night because of financial reasons. You are not obligated to believe that. The network says there are just not enough viewers." - Elamin Abdelmahmoud

Immediately afterwards, he was guest host on public-access station show "Only In Munroe", and got impressive numbers.

I saw the first five or ten minutes of that. I expect to watch/listen to the rest of it.

Not enough viewers. Huh. I feel vaguely insulted.

[dewline]

You absolutely have that right, especially in the current context.

Considering it was consistently the #1 rated late night show? Me thinks they protest too much. It was undoubtably a suck-up move.

One of the most popular shows on telly but sure, not enough viewers.

I kept Paramount+ just long enough to watch the whole run.
