‘None Of That F**king Matters’: Sam Bee Nails A Brutal Truth Of Colbert’s Cancellation

The comedian also slammed President Donald Trump as "a thin-skinned idiot" who is "like a pernicious cancer."

Former “Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee has weighed in on CBS’s decision to cancel “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” calling it “awful” but ultimately unsurprising and “such a no-brainer” for the network.

Bee, during an appearance on the latest episode of Tom Papa’s “Breaking Bread” podcast, said she was “shocked but not surprised” at the nixing of the late-night franchise.

“These legacy shows, they are hemorrhaging money with no real end to that in sight,” she said. “People are just not tuning in, even remotely, comparatively, to how they used to. People are literally on their phones all the time, for one thing, so they actually don’t necessarily need a recap of the day’s events. They are very well-versed in what has happened.”

Papa had noted how “The Late Show,” on which Colbert frequently pokes fun at and slams Trump, was losing a reported $40 million a year. CBS parent company Paramount had also been seeking the approval of the Trump administration over its now-approved merger with Skydance, he added.

“When the president of the United States has to give his sign-off on a corporate merger, the thing you can’t do is make jokes about him,” said Bee. “He’s a thin-skinned idiot. We know he’s like a pernicious cancer and he cares about that stuff.”
