Wait they put someone else on the late show? I had no idea lol
Not quite, it's a guy who bought the slot for his own show, same guy you end up seeing super late at night with Comics Unleashed. He's a weird dude.
I think he's somehow super wealthy? Like a billionaire even, maybe?
Real weird.
Yeah, I did a short dive into his whole deal even before this whole situation. I think he's probably just around $1B, because he went from comedian and writer to investor. I mean, he owns part of BuzzFeed, even.
And yeah. It is weird that he's done a fair amount for black causes, but somehow he's willing to put up with CBS? There's always a contradiction when you have money but do things for community. Though I personally just always felt the was off, the same way I felt about Jay Leno.
I only ever saw him on Comics Unleashed if I was up late and unable to sleep, and... It was never great lol.
After learning that he financed all that shit, I realized that the guy seemed like he was doing that show for the love of the game which I can respect.
...buzzfeeds still around?
Apparently, yeah. And somehow a more accurate source of news than CBS now. Lol
Wait..no name who made at least a billion decided not to take the slot that anyone could have guessed would not be watched in boycott, but instead he bought it? Dang. Maybe that 5D chess he's playing.
Ya I stopped watching after they took him off lol
You don't even need to click the article, OP pasted the part explaining this at the top...
I know, sorry, my point was a lack of marketing from my point of view
