M Gillespie, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Missed your lovely faces?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What's good to say?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
How are you enjoying the smell in here? After TikTok Tucker's.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
It's a little bit pungent.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
It's really not.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
But I thought I was going to be gagging. To
be honest, Well, we ate it, and we are. Was
it disgusting? It was?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah, Tuna and banana.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Shocker, it was disgusting. Today I want to talk to
you about the cancelation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show by CBS.
This story kind of keeps on evolving. We heard the
news last week that after thirty years, CBS was canceling
the Late Show. It was hosted by David Letterman for
twenty years. Stephen Colbert has been hosting it for nearly
a decade. The final episode will air in May next year,
(00:44):
and basically CBS has said they're pulling the plug for
financial reasons only. They've said that there's nothing wrong with Colbert,
that he is an amazing comedian, that he's done a
really great job, but that it's a financial decision. Blah blah,
blah boring. Stephen Colbert has suggested up wise though, and
there's been a lot of talk about this kind of
Trump influence. Now, Trump had actually just settled a lawsuit
(01:08):
with CBS over and what he claims is an unfairly
edited episode of sixty Minutes now last year sixty Minutes,
which is on CBS same channel as the Late Show.
They interviewed Kamala Harris before the election. It's a perfectly
normal pre election interview. Trump alleged that it was manipulated,
that the editing was deliberately kind of a puff piece
(01:30):
to make her look better and to make him look bad. CBS,
by all accounts from legal experts, just wanted it to
go away, so they settled with him for sixteen million dollars.
If it had gone to court, no one is really
suggesting that Trump would have won, But I think he
just didn't want the fallout of all of that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's one of th things I used. Throw enough mart
out there.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
But also CBS is trying to merge at the moment
and feel the any government support.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Exactly so CBS is owned by paramount paramounts. In negotiations
for this eight billion dollar merger, Trump is backing that merger,
and Colbert has been extremely critical. As all comedians on
late night USTv, he has been very, very critical of Trump.
He's one of the most critical comics of Trump. I
would say, but that's comedy. So anyway. He had his
first show back since the announcement of the cancelation this week.
(02:19):
He said, Trump, go f yourself. That he's a little
bit of his opening monologue.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Now for the next ten months, the gloves are off.
I can finally, yeah, I can finally speak unvarnished truth
to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump,
starting right now. I don't care for him. Our network, CBS,
they clarified that the cancelation was purely a financial decision.
(02:48):
But how could it purely be a financial decision if
the late show is number one in ratings a lot of.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Folks, so that's an important note. It is the number
one late night show, and this is a really competitive field.
We're talking Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver,
John Stewart. There are a lot of great shows on
at that time of night, and he is the top
of the pack.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
They've all banded behind him.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, So we saw a really cute kind of solidarity
moment on air. They've all kind of released their own
statements or said things on air themselves supporting Stephen Colbert.
They all really admire him. Some of them are really
great friends with him. But there was a segment during
that show on Monday Night with weird Al Yankovic and
Lin Manuel Miranda who wrote Hamilton. They came out and
(03:33):
they were going to sing.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Viva LaVita by Coldplay.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yep, they get started, and then they did the kiss
Cam trope, and the kiss Cam landed on every single
late night host. So all of those names I mentioned fallon,
Seth Meyers, John Oliver, John Stewart, all the rest of them.
They were all sitting in pairs doing their own little bits.
It was really sweet and it was very funny. It
was chaotic as you would imagine, but it was really
nice to see. And John Steven no sorry, John Stewart
(03:58):
especially has really come out and criticize the CBS. He
has a show on Comedy Central that's part of Paramount,
that's a channel under this merger.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And they're saying take us all, then, take us.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
All then, But they're kind of all on the chopping block.
And yeah, this conversation about political interference, potentially the role
of Trump and that influence here. It's got a lot
of people in the entertainment community obviously rightfully up in.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Arms, but they're finally coming out and saying, we have
to stand up here. The universities haven't, the lawyers, haven't
the blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
This is where it stops. I think that's what John
Stewart said.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
What I find with the Donald Trump stuff. Trump supporters
have no sense of humor when you're bagging. And I've found,
just anecdotally from us whenever we post anything about Donald Trump,
and I would say this to Digital Jenna, now, don't
bother doing this because your amount of hate that we
get it's and that's kind of scary in itself when
you look at that AI video that he put out
about Barack Obama with these baseless sort of claims. But
(04:54):
then he is he with the Epstein files. In what
world do we yeah anyone else, they'd be checked in jail?
How does he get away with it?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It makes me really formula. It makes me really grateful,
I think for the Australian climate. Both the sort of
entertainment and political climate and comedy climate here because we
would never not make fun of our politicians, right, but.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
That's their job. They are satirists. Yeah, it's exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's holding that magnifying glass up to that estate of
you know, politics, but with that satirical lens. And I
think Ozzie's just have that in built sense of humor
where it's no matter what your politics, we're always going
to make fun of them, right.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
And hopefully the network would support you exactly, you would.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You know, we dined out on the Ingodean Maccus thing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
For years and we will continue to do so and
we will die.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Right.
