Is it all a series of PR stunts? Might as well be.
There are precedents.
Like Tucker getting fired, where you bring awareness by way of concerned supporters, and then poach them over to your new platform en masse, acting like it's a blessing in disguise, yielding a massive welling of people coming over who want to see you in your new setting, get your take on what happened, so forth.
Look at what happened when Conan was replaced by Jay Leno on the Tonight Show (crawling out of the sod like an undead caricature of himself) -- Conan went on to do a podcast which has now garnered him much more success and freedom and viewership than he's ever had.
A massive viewership awaits Colbert and Kimmel in whatever they do next.
