The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
// OVERVIEW
Nexor cites The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour as a historical precedent in one dispatch, referencing the late-1960s CBS program as a case study in politically motivated broadcast cancellations. According to the report, the show was terminated in 1969 following pressure attributed to Presidents Johnson and Nixon, and is invoked as a parallel to the cancellation of Colbert's program — framing both incidents as instances of political interference shaping television programming decisions.
