    He’s called George Cheeks because he’s getting them clapped by authoritarians.

      “average person gets their cheeks clapped by authoritarians 3 times a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person gets clapped 0 times per year. Cheeks George, who lives in cave & gets clapped over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

      Not saying they’re doing the right thing here, but if South Park is making money and Colbert is losing money it’s not really a like for like comparison.

    If I managed the biggest program in my segment and I lost money on it they’d fire me.
