Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Late Show with Colbert has 10.1mil subscribers on Youtube, so yeah it should be on there.

If you expand to network TV for this chart — which I think you should, cuz all network TV has a digital presence too these days — it had an average of 2.42mil viewers per episode on TV through Q2.

Joe Rogan, for comparison, boasts 11mil listeners per episode.

So even just based on equating to network TV viewership, he’d probably be somewhere between MeidasTouch and The Breakfast Club.
