The budget for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was $100 million per year. It had a full time staff of 200 people, and was reaching just 2.7 million viewers on an average night during the show’s final quarter on the air.
Colbert was the most-watched late night host. Jimmy Kimmel has a linear audience of 2 million, while Jimmy Fallon draws about 1.3 million. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show reaches 900k to 1 million, which more than doubles the 400k that watched when Trevor Noah was the host.
Kimmel earns $16 million, Fallon earns $16 million, and Stewart makes $25 million. They had to pay him that to salvage the show after Noah, who was earning $16 million per year, lost more than two-thirds of his audience.
