00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem Nation.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: From The Daily Os with the News That's fit to print.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 2: M Gillespie, Hello, Hello.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 3: Missed your lovely faces?

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: What's good to say?

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: How are you enjoying the smell in here? After TikTok Tucker's.

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: It's a little bit pungent.

8
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 4: It's really not.

9
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 3: But I thought I was going to be gagging. To

10
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: be honest, Well, we ate it, and we are. Was

11
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 3: it disgusting? It was?

12
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tuna and banana.

13
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: Shocker, it was disgusting. Today I want to talk to

14
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: you about the cancelation of Stephen Colbert's Late Show by CBS.

15
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: This story kind of keeps on evolving. We heard the

16
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: news last week that after thirty years, CBS was canceling

17
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 3: the Late Show. It was hosted by David Letterman for

18
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: twenty years. Stephen Colbert has been hosting it for nearly

19
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: a decade. The final episode will air in May next year,

20
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 3: and basically CBS has said they're pulling the plug for

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: financial reasons only. They've said that there's nothing wrong with Colbert,

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: that he is an amazing comedian, that he's done a

23
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: really great job, but that it's a financial decision. Blah blah,

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: blah boring. Stephen Colbert has suggested up wise though, and

25
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk about this kind of

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: Trump influence. Now, Trump had actually just settled a lawsuit

27
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: with CBS over and what he claims is an unfairly

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: edited episode of sixty Minutes now last year sixty Minutes,

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: which is on CBS same channel as the Late Show.

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: They interviewed Kamala Harris before the election. It's a perfectly

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: normal pre election interview. Trump alleged that it was manipulated,

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: that the editing was deliberately kind of a puff piece

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: to make her look better and to make him look bad. CBS,

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: by all accounts from legal experts, just wanted it to

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: go away, so they settled with him for sixteen million dollars.

36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: If it had gone to court, no one is really

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: suggesting that Trump would have won, But I think he

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: just didn't want the fallout of all of that.

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: That's one of th things I used. Throw enough mart

40
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: out there.

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: But also CBS is trying to merge at the moment

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: and feel the any government support.

43
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Exactly so CBS is owned by paramount paramounts. In negotiations

44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: for this eight billion dollar merger, Trump is backing that merger,

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: and Colbert has been extremely critical. As all comedians on

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: late night USTv, he has been very, very critical of Trump.

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: He's one of the most critical comics of Trump. I

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: would say, but that's comedy. So anyway. He had his

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: first show back since the announcement of the cancelation this week.

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: He said, Trump, go f yourself. That he's a little

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 3: bit of his opening monologue.

52
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 5: Now for the next ten months, the gloves are off.

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: I can finally, yeah, I can finally speak unvarnished truth

54
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 5: to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump,

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 5: starting right now. I don't care for him. Our network, CBS,

56
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 5: they clarified that the cancelation was purely a financial decision.

57
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 5: But how could it purely be a financial decision if

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 5: the late show is number one in ratings a lot of.

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: Folks, so that's an important note. It is the number

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: one late night show, and this is a really competitive field.

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: We're talking Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver,

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: John Stewart. There are a lot of great shows on

63
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: at that time of night, and he is the top

64
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: of the pack.

65
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: They've all banded behind him.

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: Yes, So we saw a really cute kind of solidarity

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: moment on air. They've all kind of released their own

68
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: statements or said things on air themselves supporting Stephen Colbert.

69
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: They all really admire him. Some of them are really

70
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 3: great friends with him. But there was a segment during

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: that show on Monday Night with weird Al Yankovic and

72
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: Lin Manuel Miranda who wrote Hamilton. They came out and

73
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: they were going to sing.

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: Viva LaVita by Coldplay.

75
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: Yep, they get started, and then they did the kiss

76
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: Cam trope, and the kiss Cam landed on every single

77
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: late night host. So all of those names I mentioned fallon,

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: Seth Meyers, John Oliver, John Stewart, all the rest of them.

79
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: They were all sitting in pairs doing their own little bits.

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: It was really sweet and it was very funny. It

81
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: was chaotic as you would imagine, but it was really

82
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: nice to see. And John Steven no sorry, John Stewart

83
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: especially has really come out and criticize the CBS. He

84
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: has a show on Comedy Central that's part of Paramount,

85
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: that's a channel under this merger.

86
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: And they're saying take us all, then, take us.

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: All then, But they're kind of all on the chopping block.

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: And yeah, this conversation about political interference, potentially the role

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: of Trump and that influence here. It's got a lot

90
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: of people in the entertainment community obviously rightfully up in.

91
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Arms, but they're finally coming out and saying, we have

92
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: to stand up here. The universities haven't, the lawyers, haven't

93
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: the blah blah blah.

94
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: This is where it stops. I think that's what John

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 4: Stewart said.

96
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: What I find with the Donald Trump stuff. Trump supporters

97
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 2: have no sense of humor when you're bagging. And I've found,

98
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: just anecdotally from us whenever we post anything about Donald Trump,

99
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: and I would say this to Digital Jenna, now, don't

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: bother doing this because your amount of hate that we

101
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: get it's and that's kind of scary in itself when

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: you look at that AI video that he put out

103
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: about Barack Obama with these baseless sort of claims. But

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: then he is he with the Epstein files. In what

105
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: world do we yeah anyone else, they'd be checked in jail?

106
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: How does he get away with it?

107
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: It makes me really formula. It makes me really grateful,

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 3: I think for the Australian climate. Both the sort of

109
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: entertainment and political climate and comedy climate here because we

110
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: would never not make fun of our politicians, right, but.

111
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 4: That's their job. They are satirists. Yeah, it's exactly.

112
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 3: It's holding that magnifying glass up to that estate of

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, politics, but with that satirical lens. And I

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: think Ozzie's just have that in built sense of humor

115
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: where it's no matter what your politics, we're always going

116
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: to make fun of them, right.

117
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: And hopefully the network would support you exactly, you would.

118
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: You know, we dined out on the Ingodean Maccus thing.

119
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: For years and we will continue to do so and

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: we will die.

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 5: Right.

122
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: Tastes better than thank you, Am and the Daily Os
