CBS is tanking for a draft pick
Jon Stewart just eviscerated CBS's entire strategy in one joke.
"I just think it's so smart what CBS is doing. It's such a good move. To take this show off the air, and then to also ruin your Evening News, and then reduce 60 Minutes to like six good ones. I think it's so smart."
Then the closer: "Here's what I believe they're doing: I think they're tanking for a draft pick."
Colbert's response is just dead inside. CBS destroyed late night, destroyed their news division, and now even their own talent is publicly roasting them for it. When your network is so obviously in freefall that comedians are using you as a punchline about strategic failure, you've hit a new low.
CBS's implosion is now so obvious even late night hosts are openly mocking the network's calculated incompetence on air.
