I thought he said May, but, anyway, I said going into the election summer

Edit : the midterms

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, my bad, it is May. I hope just his show going off the air helps drive enough attention to whatever he does next.

At least there’s a decent amount of time for his team to plan a new project, or leave the US or whatever.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I see some sort of streaming show or HBO. No way he and his writing team all leave the US. I don't even know who could give him a decent platform anyway

As much as I would love an uncensored Colbert, HBO Max/Max/HBO already has John Oliver. And they kinda occupy the same entertainment niche. They are not going to cannibalize their own ratings of that big draw.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They could do it,the same way everyone was on Comedy Central. That worked and they complimented each other. Besides, Oliver is once a week. I bet a lot of people, myself included, already watch both of the shows

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Very true. Just something on the snoo site that I liked. What if HBO fired bill Maher and replaced him with Colbert.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I wouldn't have a problem with that. I gave Maher a shot a few years ago, but just couldn't take it. I don't understand what role Maher fills. He's not progressive, but doesn't have conservative cred either. I'm sure he thinks he's being authentically moderate, but he seems like a sleeper right-wing shill
