Clearly the economics of late-night are no longer what they once were. The Late Show, which is thought to cost slightly less than $75 million per year to produce before adding in Colbert’s salary — which has been pegged in the mid-teen millions — has been losing money for the network. Deadline understands that CBS also came to Colbert, whose contract was up next year, before this season asking for a cut. “Poverty was pled there,” one source said.
