From the Bureau of Trump Statistics, it's garbage in, garbage out.

Even assuming these figures are legit the CPI is the same as it was before the election in 2024. Now that inflation rate was outrageous and necessitated replacing the Biden/Harris administration with The Donald because INFLATION !

Will the Trump/MAGA /GQP pay the same price (pun intended ) this November ?

I doubt that will really work. If they so choose, Oliver, Stewart, Colbert, etc can probably reach an equally large audience from some combination of podcasting and streaming.

how'd that work out for "O'reily and Kelly? Not great...and they were super popular on fox news.

I don't see those two as particularly comparable to the situation Oliver, Stewart, or Colbert would be in. Kelly and O'Reilly were seeing their stars fall before they left, and then they got out-competed in the conservative talk show podcast market by crazier, harder right options. If/when Stewart, Oliver, and/or Colbert get forced off the air by Trump strongarming, they will go with a lot of media attention and devoted audience. They may not want to keep going by, in some sense, starting over in those spaces, which would be fine, but I'm confident they could make a very lucrative living doing so.

Perhaps but Colbert has already been fired so we'll see where he lands after his show is done in a few months. Oliver and Stewart are still on but make no mistake, if Paramount gets control of HBO and CC they're both gone. Where they land, we won't know unless/until that happens but Stewart was pretty obscure when he left CC years ago and TDS asked him back because no one else really did the job better.

All that said, if they do get canned, I hope you're right. I enjoy both of them particularly Oliver.

FYI Paramount has already owned Comedy Central for years.

ETA: Stewart's show on Apple definitely didn't work out but he still profited handsomely from it. Google says may up to $100 million; no clue how accurate that is.
