ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, accused President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr of trying to “squash” and “silence” them on their Thursday shows after Carr announced that he believes the regulations that say broadcast networks must allow for equal time among candidates applies to their shows.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed actress Jane Fonda to Wednesday’s taping of The Late Show to do what one does on that show: go after President Trump and ICE in the most hysterical way possible. Fonda would rile up the audience by declaring, “They’re shooting people,” while Colbert would discover that maybe the Soviet Union wasn’t so great and compare Trump to the former communist…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Sen. Bernie Sanders to The Late Show for the nineteenth and hopefully final time on Tuesday for an obnoxiously long, four-segment softball interview covering everything from Colbert’s employer to Venezuela to Minnesota to socialism.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s habit of inviting guests to The Late Show to tell him what he wants to hear continued apace on Thursday as he welcomed author, former Biden speechwriter, and frequent cable news talking head Jon Meacham to the show to promote his new book and do his usual shtick where he attempts to wax poetic about the dire state of Trump’s America. According to Meacham, the…

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel lamented that the Justice Department is “investigating the victims” of the Minneapolis shooting involving Renee Good and ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed incoming Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger to Monday’s taping of The Late Show to discuss how she might react if the Trump administration sent ICE agents or National Guard soldiers to Virginia.

In an episode of The Barbara Gaines Show posted on Friday, former CBS’s Late Show host David Letterman was in old-man-yells-at-the-clouds mood as he lamented the impending cancellation of his old show and seethed over CBS News as now being run by “idiots” — ostensibly referring to Paramount Skydance chairman David Ellison and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss — who’ve “eviscerated”…

Four of the five liberal late night comedy shows focused a lot of energy on their Thursday episodes on the situation in Minneapolis.

Former late night host Conan O’Brien is so close to getting it.

For the left, 2026 will be a sad year in the realm of late night comedy because The Late Show host Stephen Colbert will depart the scene in May.

The late night comedy shows kicked off 2026 on Monday by talking about the big news of Nicolas Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces on Saturday in Venezuela.
