Stephen Colbert

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.

With CBS cancelling The Late Show, plenty of people, including former Tonight Show host Jay Leno, have suggested that the industry has become too partisan. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver claimed he would not be taking advice from Leno and suggested such criticism would lead to…

Closing out another week of Democratic guests, outgoing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert welcomed California Sen. Alex Padilla to CBS on Thursday to hope that he is successful in giving legal status to illegal immigrants because President Trump’s immigration policy is defined by its purposeful “brutality and cruelty.”

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s invitation to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to appear on Tuesday’s The Late Show preceded the fleeing of Texas Democrats to that state in the wake of the state legislature’s redistricting efforts, but the developments were impossible for Colbert to ignore. Even Colbert, however, recognized the irony of complaining about gerrymandering to the governor of Illinois,…

It has now been over two weeks since CBS announced it was cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026. However, Colbert has responded by doubling down on the same jokes and guests that made viewers (and advertising dollars) turn away in the first place. According to a new MRC study, Colbert’s political jokes targeted conservatives and Republicans 95 percent of the time,…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert kicked off his week of Democratic guests on Monday by welcoming Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich to The Late Show to promote his new memoir. During their conversation, neither man displayed an understanding of the proper definition of a tax cut, while Reich smeared former President Ronald Reagan for allegedly making the country less inclusive for women…

CNN tried rebranding former Vice President Kamala Harris about as smoothly as your friend trying to set you up with a girl who’s got a “great personality.” On Friday afternoon’s broadcast of Inside Politics, the commentary bordered on full-on myth-making. Chief domestic affairs correspondent Phil Mattingly was upbeat that Harris could finally be herself, while lamenting was just under…

That was fast. The Legacy Media circled the wagons to tell us “The Late Show’s” cancellation was, in no particular order:

The last time CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to The Late Show, the two had a grand old time drinking beers and looking forward to her presidency. On Thursday, the mood was very different. Harris is now a failed presidential candidate, and Colbert is an outgoing host, but for the next ten months, he is still the host of Late Night DNC, and therefore…

On the July 26 episode of Charlie Rose’s podcast, former MSNBC host Chris Matthews seemed to think President Donald Trump was a one-man FCC, roaming the country canceling TV shows with a glare and a golf swing.

Matthews floated the idea, without offering proof, that Trump had cowed television networks into submission, supposedly canceling news segments and late-night shows out of sheer…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s Wednesday interview with Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin hit all of the usual The Late Show beats: puffball questions, Democrat strategizing, and questions from the left. More specifically, the duo would discuss hot dogs, the far-left’s alleged “alpha energy,” and Israel’s military operations in Gaza.

The Trump administration recently put out a memo that says that federal employees should be allowed to talk about their religion at work, so naturally CBS’s outgoing host of The Late Show, “devout Catholic” Stephen Colbert, mocked the idea as provocative and even had a fake argument with keyboardist Corey Bernhard about whether to serve Moloch.
