There is a “growing consensus that things just aren’t clicking.”

The content of that story doesn't match its bold headline. It confirms that the show has taken on a showrunner, Chris Licht, to "free up" Colbert to focus on comedy, but it does not include any mention of fundamental changes to the show's format or tone.
