Don't get me wrong, personally I will really miss TCR. But I would not be unhappy if the Late Show with Stephen Colbert was as popular here as the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. I think Colbert is amazing and it is a shame he is not more watched here. TCR and the Daily Show have been broadcast on free to air (ABC and SBS) in the past, but have only really picked up a cult audience with Foxtel (pay TV) subscribers and are a minority.

I guess it's because I will still have people like Shaun Micallef and Q&A to provide my own country's political satire.

Finally, I find the 'but he's ours!' argument a bit shit. If every country felt that way you wouldn't have Adam Hills' Last Leg or Rebel Wilson (or even Hugh Jackman or Russell Crowe in US movies) and I feel both are great exports.

Like I said, it's a kneejerk reaction. I don't mean "he's our entertainer." I mean that he's our political satirist. I thought I'd kinda made that clear. Generally, I'm all for countries sharing entertainers and entertainment. Makes the world a little nicer. "Oh, you like that? I like that as well." But I guess I was kind of reading your comment to be like: "Well, this will be better for the Oz crowd because we don't really follow American politics so his satire doesn't work so well for us, but his general entertainment will go over much better over here." And while that may be true, it kind of...stings, I guess? Because in this particular case (and I suppose with Stewart) I'm not really keen on Colbert becoming more accessible to to non USA-folks by no longer giving the political criticism and satire that I feel our country really needs. He may reach a wider audience, but it feels like he'll do so by lessening what he does.
