The Late Show has an elderly and shrinking audience. And, Colbert hasn't been funny in years, nor has he been challenging the powers that be.

When he did the White House Correspondents' Dinner and roasted George W Bush, that was extremely edgy. The Colbert Report was also wickedly funny.

But the Late Show makes John Oliver look like Lenny Bruce.

The Late Show was the only show to have positive viewership rates from Q1 to Q2 while maintaining the largest share of viewers.

It's hardly a shrinking audience.

The Late Show is basically tied with Jimmy Kimmel among 18 to 49 year olds, and everyone else is significantly worse.

IMO, Colbert is consistently funny. His style has always appealed to me.
