@VeroniqueB99 nobody read political clouds into it when CBS canceled "Gunsmoke" or "Hee-Haw."

Networks have people nagging them to make ever more money. They don't go away. Trump may not even be alive next year, and odds are good Colbert lands on another network. And makes more money.

@the_turtle

"Gunsmoke" or "Hee-Haw" weren't assassinating powers that be every single night on live TV...
