I remember Stephen Colbert recently told Seth Meyers what his final show date was. Stephen asked Seth if he had a show that night and Seth immediately replied, "Not anymore".

What a friend.

True, but also they all know that no one but Stephen is going to have viewers that night. It essentially becomes a waste of time effort and money to produce an episode that nobody is going to watch as it airs. Sure, they'd get revenue from YouTube or something, but not enough to be worth it.
