After announcing the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS is hard at work searching for a better program to replace their old flagship. Here are ten great ideas that would be way better than The Late Show:

  1. Larry The Dying Leper: This show is just watching a man slowly die of leprosy. Way funnier!

  2. Kidney Stone Watch: 90 straight minutes of a dude trying to pass a kidney stone.

  3. That old "KaBoom" infomercial with Billy Mays on loop: Such a classic.

  4. Cemetery Cam: Nothing but a livestream from a camera at a cemetery. Big upgrade, CBS.

  5. The Ingrown Toenail Experience: Way less painful than the "Vax-Scene."

  6. Dora The Explorer: Eh, pretty close call.

  7. Mold: Watch bread slowly grow mold in some family's closet. What an improvement.

  8. Moist Madness: People saying the word "moist" repeatedly for an hour and a half. Much less cringey.

  9. Who Wants To Be An Orphan?: Sad, yes, but still better.

  10. A commie screeching and crying but at the end someone comes out and whacks him with a stick: Sweet.

So many great options. You're welcome for the help, CBS.



Senator Mitch McConnell isn't doing too many interviews these days, but The Babylon Bee's Travis got the opportunity to sit down with the man, the myth, and the legend himself.
