The problem with that is that South Park could never be played on CBS. South Park has always been a cable or streaming show, letting it get away with things that you can’t do on broadcast television. Also, South Park doesn’t make nearly as many episodes to fill a late night slot. It fills an anti-Trump role, but it doesn’t fill the time slot.

It seems like CBS didn’t want to entertain paring down The Late Show like how TBS pared down Conan.
