The last show of Colbert was watched by 6.7 million people on May 21, and the record was set in 2016, right after the final of the American professional football league Super Bowl with more than 20 million viewers. On average, 2.7 million people watched the show on weekdays during the evening, CNN reported. CBS sold the time slot to comedian Byron Allen for $15 million (€12.9 million) a year.
Allen will keep all the advertising revenue with the show.
