Live ‘The Late Show' gets the Post-Super Bowl timeslot
Quote:
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has snagged the cushiest time slot in all of TV, following CBS’ broadcast of Super Bowl 50 — marking the first time a late-night series will air live right after the game.
On the one hand, they need a boost, as both shows are in 3rd place for their timeslots.
On the other, it makes CBS seem like they have zero confidence in their primetime shows improving. And while 0.59 and 0.35 could go up, the ceiling is too low for it to really be worth it.
Of course, the vast majority of shows with post-SB episodes this century have not improved afterwards, but still. You can always hope to be an exception.
