He should quit and team up with Colbert to do something. Those two are fire, as the kids say.
I think Stewart's current contract extends until the end of the year (at a minimum). I'm also confident Stewart has complete creative freedom, same as Colbert.
I expect they'll be having A LOT of fun between now and when their contracts end, all on CBS's dime. Once it's over, they'll team up for sure. (If not a bunch before.)
They should just start a YouTube channel...at least then they own the content.
Google would own the content.
Edit: I'm not going to bother replying to every ignorant person that wants to disagree. If you upload something to Google and they can remove it, censor it or blank out sections, or demonetize sections or the entire thing.. than Google owns it. Google owns the platform you are uploading it to and it functionally becomes part of their property. It even says so in the terms and conditions.
You may still own the original recording, but you do not own the uploaded version once it is uploaded.
google would have a license
Ownership is a complicated concept but no, not really.
Google owns the platform, they can decide what to have in their platform, but under license. They could still license it to a lot of other platforms, because they would still own it.
That's...not even a little bit true. They can do whatever they want with it on their platform. If they owned it you wouldn't be able to upload it to other platforms. CBS could basically erase the entirety of Colbert's content from existence and he would have no recourse because he doesn't own the content, CBS does. Similarly he could not take his content and publish it elsewhere. That's the important bit here.
