I hadn't watched Colbert since before the election, but when CBS announced they were canceling The Late Show, I started watching it again. I might even try watching South Park, though I never cared much for the show.

I agree, ignoring such shows would have been the best way to go, but now Trump's White House has given them free publicity. It's not like MAGA was watching either of them, so they aren't losing any viewers, just gaining some.
