Except that talk shows are among the cheaper shows to make. You don't have to pay for as much talent, writing costs are lower, and production is generally cheaper. It is the reason why a lot of day time television converted from soap operas to talk shows. Hell, a lot of modern podcasts have the format of a talk show.

That the show was just cancelled without any attempt at negotiation sounds fishy.
