Stephen Colbert's monologue addressing his show's cancellation has garnered nearly 10 million YouTube views, his channel's most popular video in six years. The monologue, delivered after CBS announced the show's cancellation for "financial reasons," saw Colbert criticize President Trump. This surge in views highlights a potential disconnect between his show's broadcast success and its social media performance. Colbert's show remains the highest-rated late-night program on broadcast television, despite industry-wide declines in viewership and profitability for the genre.
