Bari Weiss had better get her resume in order, she'll be looking for another job soon. I think CBS is done, it will be up for sale soon. ETTD

Her mission was to remove one more media source that was critical of Trump.

Unless the shareholders revolt (do the Ellisons have a majority stake?) I think Weiss will be around at least through 2028.

I expect he’ll probably take a year off and come back in fall 2027 with a new project.

I’m guessing it might be something like Letterman’s Netflix show.

not entertainment. As loathsome as she is, she had nothing to do with Colbert getting canceled.

As far as Colbert, heard a rumor that he is in talks with Apple TV for a new show.

Snooze alert.

The airtime is personally paid for by billionaire Byron Allen and he sells this own commercial time.

I know! That's the craziest thing I've ever heard too.

He’s taking a step back to write an upcoming Lord of the Rings film script. He is apparently a massive Tolkien fan.

It has to be assumed he's entertaining offers. But you're convinced he turned them down to work on LOTR.
Maybe, but we don't know how tempting those cable TV offers are.

It’s been reported. He’s talked about it on his show AND in interviews. He’s writing a LOTR film. He’s said it’s something he’s always wanted to do. Give the interwebs a whirl. There’s a lot out there including information about his next chapter, which according to him, is not immediately diving into a new talk show.
