I have a feeling that if Colbert or Stewart are removed, their audience will follow them wherever they decide to go.

I love Jon but I did not follow him to Apple. I don't need another subscription. Also I felt vindicated when he quit because they suppressed his anti-China speech.

Yeah, I'd follow him anywhere that I already have access to, and likely no further. If he let's someone put up barriers around what he makes, that's on him. He can easily do his own thing anywhere and have an audience. He just might get paid less, though I'm certain he has more than enough money to live the rest of his life happily.

Colbert though I don't follow. He's smart and funny, but I watched The Late Show and just do not care for the format. If he decides to do something else then I'd give it a shot, but not that format.

It's not just him though. He has a team that makes what he does possible.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, and he puts together a good team. He has a lot of people who'd gladly follow him wherever he wants to work with him.

I certainly didn't get an Apple subscription but I absolutely stopped watching The Daily Show. Even now I only watch the episodes he's on. And that's just on YouTube.

A good chunk at least. Shocking enough I am not a hardcore comedy central viewer.
