Stephen Colbert

On Thursday, Sean Dunn, the man charged with assaulting a border patrol agent with a sandwich, was found not guilty, and CBS’s Stephen Colbert was eager to celebrate.

While all the late night hosts rejoiced on their Wednesday shows over Democrats’ Tuesday election victories, the eponymous hosts of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers were especially eager to promote socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral victory.

For liberals such as CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, who are worried about the fate of food stamps amid the government shutdown there is a simple solution: reopen the government. However, Colbert used his Monday show to suggest that it was the Trump administration that was starving children to pressure Democrats. Meanwhile, over at ABC, Jimmy Kimmel continued to advance…

In the Trump Era, the late night comedy shows have been looking for any glimmer of light they can find, and they think they have found it in New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert mourned on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show that it will take several years to rebuild democracy after President Trump leaves office.

The trend of the late night hosts devolving from comedians into DNC talking heads continued on Monday as they gushed over the weekend’s No Kings protestors. According to them, the size of the crowds should discredit the idea they were actually quite radical.

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

Having former CNN media reporter-turned Substacker Oliver Darcy on once to freak out about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News was not good enough for PBS. It just had to do it again. On Tuesday, Darcy joined Amanpour and Company, where he had an epic meltdown over Weiss, the Trump administration, and conservative critiques of the news media.

Actress Bette Midler traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to pay tribute to the eponymous host as he winds down his show.
