Okay but why in that way - during the taping of a show? That doesn't seem very "planned". That seems like a desperate rush.

Over the weekend would have been smoother. Hell, just about any other way would have been smoother.

They gave Colbert another year.

Colbert getting canned was a test. They saw they could get away with it, so now gloves are off and off Kimmel goes in one night.

Everything they do is a test to see if they can get away with something. If they do, they ratchet up to the next horrendous idea.

I don’t doubt they wanted to gauge reactions. I doubt ABC was part of that in any way.

ABC execs only care about money, same thing with every other corporation bending the knee
