<br />Colbert is not funny, he is boring and dull, his writers are morons and his delivery in intolerably repetitive. Unfortunately he influences the stupid 20, 30 somethings.. GD CBS Communist Bull Sn1t network.

It was a bad choice to replace Dave with Colbert. It's like you were drinking " Cherry Coke " one moment, then you're drinking " PRUNE JUICE " next. Bad choice all the way around, especially the KKK stunt. Liberals were the KKK, now they try to make you think it's the Republicans, by fanning racism along the way. Besides No one has a set of testicles like Mr. Trump. Truth hurts doesn't it...!

Not only was the stunt in profoundly poor taste, it was also erroneous the KKK was founded by Democrats and for many years acted as an official party arm in Dixie.

Whatever the case, America was turned off by the stunt, and they showed it by turning their TVs off. Colbert had a strong 4.9 rating on his first night on the air, but that dipped to a 3.2 estimated overnight rating for his Wednesday show, a drop of more than 35 percent.

The numbers were virtually identical to NBC's Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, in spite of the fact that Fallon is hardly new to the job. Even Chevy Chase thinks those numbers are bad.

In addition, Colbert only got a 0.8 in the coveted 18-49 demographic, down almost 50 percent from his first night's 1.5 rating in the same group.

Believe it or not, Colbert's KKK faux pas wasn't the only thing that the host did to outrage conservatives. Colbert also devoted no time to jokes about Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in spite of the fact that seems like rather low-hanging fruit and also had former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on as one of his first guests (H
