Part 2/8:
Colbear's program struggled from the outset, unable to sustain a large audience amid a saturated market of political commentary and comedy. The transcript vividly illustrates why: the show was riddled with long, tedious monologues and jokes that fell flat even among its intended audience. The excerpt highlights a particularly painful example—the vaccine segment—where a poorly executed musical interlude was both awkward and unfunny. "It's no wonder that hot mess was losing $40 million a year," the critique notes, emphasizing how the show's production team, despite millions in spending, consistently failed to generate quality content.
