Stephen Colbert

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.

PBS host Christiane Amanpour fretted over “the state of freedom of speech in America” with reporter David Enrich, author of the anti-Trump book Murder The Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful. Enrich has become a popular figure on PBS and NPR of late, warning of the Trump administration’s “chilling effect” on media. Amanpour accused Trump of…

CBS canceled Stephen Colbert’s late-night show. Democrat Minnesota Gov. and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz, who recently appeared on the show, said: “Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less.” You might be forgiven for thinking Colbert’s job is to tell jokes. Some Democrats in full meltdown…

The Daily Show’s Michael Kosta proved two things on the Monday edition of his Tennis Anyone podcast, so named because in his previous life, Kosta was a professional tennis player. First, apparently everybody has a podcast, but more importantly, the late night shows have an oversized view of their own self-importance, as Kosta demanded CBS take a loss on Stephen Colbert’s show…

Actress Sandra Oh put Stephen Colbert in a tough spot on Monday when she became the first guest to appear on The Late Show after CBS decided to pull the plug. As Oh wished that a plague would descend upon CBS and its parent company, Paramount, Colbert had to look right into the camera and insist that he did not share such views.

Stephen Colbert tried to suggest on Wednesday’s The Late Show that there was something contradictory or even hypocritical in CBS deciding to cancel him while parent company Paramount settled in a recent lawsuit with President Trump that could lead them to giving up around $36 million.

Like many others in the liberal media, CNN’s The Situation Room co-hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown were quick to jump on the growing wave of fear that somehow spread from a flopping comedy show getting cancelled. In an interview with CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter, the three expressed their concerns over what Colbert’s cancellation meant for the future of late-night TV… and…

Despite having already spent nearly 12 minutes (11:38) on Friday morning decrying the stunning news of CBS cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today returned to do more pouting Tuesday about this show as one of many (far-left) late-night comedy as part of both media “institutions” and the “cultural Zeitgeist” as evidenced…

The firing of “comedian” Stephen Colbert by CBS had the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View in a tizzy, as they finally got around to discussing it on Tuesday. Of course, co-host Sunny Hostin poured on the incendiary rhetoric, suggesting that his firing (with a 10-month ramp) “is the dismantling of our Constitution.” She also seemed to hint at political violence as a possible answer.

The men of late night reacted to the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with varying degrees of intelligence on their Monday shows. On the dumb end of the spectrum was fellow Paramount employee Jon Stewart, who reacted on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by telling CBS to “go fuck” itself and dropping over 40 F-bombs.

On Friday night’s The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Symone Sanders ran a segment discussing the recent announcement of CBS’s move to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ending David Letterman’s legacy. Despite indicators pointing towards financial implications, panelists, including co-creator of The Daily Show and abortion activist Liz Winstead, decided it…

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former NPR president and CEO Vivian Schiller, commenting on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show, said: "Stephen Colbert is unafraid to again speak truth to power. He does it in a very bipartisan way over the years, and comedy and parody is an important part of a democratic ecosystem."

Once upon a time there was Johnny Carson. Or, as the host of NBC’s Tonight show was then known, “The King of Late Night.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump. Tapper admitted he had no evidence for this but still found the whole thing to be “interesting” and promoted anonymous sources to help him advance his conspiracy theory.
