The "comedian" who lost CBS millions of dollars a year is finally jobless.

Yeah, that's Paul McCartney turning off the lights. Just a wondrous swan song for liberal boomers everywhere!

Colbert began his final show on Friday by telling his audience that his job was "to feel the news with y'all."

Colbert, who turned the Late Show into a bitter nightly rant about Republicans, was losing the network an estimated $40 million to $50 million a year. 👇

Fox's Greg Gutfeld, who runs an unapologetically right-wing show on the network, routinely surpasses all the liberal late-night hosts in viewers. While Colbert pretends to be a bastion of snooty civility and sneering objectivity, Gutfeld just has ... well, fun.

Colbert took David Letterman's show, which was known and watched by the majority of Americans in the '90s and '00s, and turned it into an irrelevant news commentary show for a select group of affluent, far-left, older Americans. His show was so irrelevant, in fact, that if his more ridiculous rants were not shared by the right-wing commentariat on social media, the average American might go years without hearing his name.

Many younger people will only remember Colbert for his abject, seething hatred of our current U.S. president.

How will we ever survive without "comedy" like this?? 👇
