Stewart admitted that late-night television is roughly financially struggling, but emphasized, “When your industry faces change, you don’t just call it a day.”

“The fact that CBS didn’t try to preserve the latest network franchise that has been airing for over 30 years is part of the wonder, “Is this purely financial or perhaps the path of minimal resistance to your $8 billion merger?”

“I was killing the show you know, so the fragile and vengeful president is very unsettling and suffers badly from the case of chronic penis shortage,” Stewart said. “I think CBS lost the bounty of doubt when it sold out its flagship news program two weeks ago to pay the president a horror fee.”
