The other day, a young lady got on the elevator and promptly whipped out her smartphone and began scrolling. “Excuse me,” I said, “can I ask you where you get your news?” She said, “You mean like news about what’s going on in the world?” “Yes.” “Oh, TikTok.” This reminded me of a dinner conversation I once had with economist Thomas Sowell. We discussed the overwhelming consensus among…

The end is nigh for late-night shows where venomous hosts try to pass off political hate speech as entertainment, President Donald Trump declared Friday after Stephen Colbert aired the last episode of The Late Show on CBS.

Stephen Colbert began the final episode of CBS’s The Late Show by unwittingly highlighting how it all went wrong. Colbert told the audience that he viewed his show as “the joy machine” and that he thought his job was to “feel the news with you,” even if it was not actually that joyful. Later, during a sci-fi skit about the show being sucked into a black hole, Colbert was joined once…

Stephen Colbert was well into his farewell media tour when he told GQ, “I think I'm more conservative than people think.” However, according to an aggregation of previous NewsBusters studies and quote packages, that is not true. Since NewsBusters began counting jokes in January 2023, Colbert has told 87 percent of his political jokes about conservatives. Likewise, since September 2022…

Late-night television bid farewell to Stephen Colbert on Thursday as CBS aired the final episode of The Late Show. On WMAL, host Derek Hunter discussed the exit with David Bozell, president of the Media Research Center (MRC), the organization that tracked and documented the show’s sharp leftward turn for years.

Surprisingly, NBC’s Today was the only lead broadcast network morning news show to embarrass itself on Thursday by mourning the “end of an era” with the last episode of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert set to air hours later, fretting there will no longer be a show helmed by the “devout Catholic” with “trailblazing format” that’s become defined by “politically charged…

On Wednesday’s penultimate episode of CBS’s The Late Show singer Bruce Springsteen delivering his ode to host Stephen Colbert where he declared that the show is going away because President Trump can’t take a joke and because Paramount’s leaders “feel they need to kiss his ass.” Earlier, on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel sang a similar tune when he declared that they should be ashamed of…

The liberal crew on CBS Mornings faced the awkward task Wednesday of promoting billionaire media mogul and comedian Byron Allen paying CBS to air old episodes, past highlights, and supposedly new material from his show Comics Unleashed — which marks 20 years in 2026 — starting Friday in place of the cancelled Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Notably, Allen emphasized…

“None of the above” trounced all other choices when a national poll asked U.S adult citizens to name “the best” late-night comedian on TV - yet another sign of viewers’ growing disdain for the hateful political commentary that has replaced entertainment.

Not everything CBS’s Stephen Colbert does for The Late Show makes it to air. Some material is only revealed 10 years later, and some gets puts on YouTube. The latter was the case on Tuesday, as Colbert welcomed The Daily Show’s Monday host Jon Stewart to antepenultimate episode of the show. As the duo were discussing how Stewart is the last one standing at Paramount in terms…

On Tuesday afternoon, Vice President JD Vance helmed the second White House press briefing since Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on maternity leave and, much like Secretary of State Marco Rubio did back on May 5, he deftly took on liberal journalists looking to trap him on the new Justice Department weaponization fund, the war in Iran, and even stocks. Vance’s strongest takedown came in…

CBS is canceling The Late Show after the conclusion of Thursday’s episode. Since 2015, The Late Show has been hosted by Stephen Colbert, who by the time Thursday comes around will have hosted 1,801 episodes of the show that began under David Letterman in 1993.

Stephen Colbert kicked off his final week of hosting The Late Show on CBS by looking back at some of the things that, for one reason or another, never aired. This included what the plan was to celebrate a Hillary Clinton victory in 2016, which Colbert revealed included naked male models.

In an effort to cast Stephen Colbert as a martyr for free speech ahead of the imminent cancellation of The Late Show, NBC’s Sunday Today sought to cast the owner of CBS’s parent company as "a prominent Trump supporter.” Except that this isn’t true.
