Remember When Colbert Said Paying High Prices Under Biden Was Moral?

Colbert: 'Brutality And Cruelty' Define Trump's Immigration Policies
Closing out another week of Democratic guests, outgoing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert welcomed California Sen.

Colbert Lets Pritzker Dodge Question on Illinois Gerrymandering
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,…

Two Weeks After Cancellation, Colbert Doubles Down on Liberal Advocacy
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,…

Colbert, Reich Smear Reagan For Reversing Progress on Blacks and Women
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.

Legacy Media Journos Enter Final Stage of Colbert Grief
That was fast. The Legacy Media circled the wagons to tell us “The Late Show’s” cancellation was, in no particular order:

Colbert Invites Harris To Say 'I Told You So' About 'Barbarian' Trump
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…

Colbert and Slotkin: A Tale of Hot Dogs, 'Alpha Energy,' & 'Genocide'
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.

Colbert Mocks Trump Allowing Federal Workers To Discuss Religion
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 Hits Trump's 'War on Facts,' 'Dangerous' Impact on Free Speech
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…

Dems Rail Against Colbert’s Cancellation — Here’s Why
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…

Daily Show's Kosta: CBS Caved To 'Authoritarian' In Dumping Colbert
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 Tries To Conjure a Plague On CBS For Dumping Colbert
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.

Colbert Hints Lost Money From Trump Lawsuit Could've Kept Him on Air
