Late Show

Late night comedy’s regular trashing of conservatives and Republicans is not confined to the hosts. Oftentimes, guests are brought on to parrot the host's beliefs, and with a new Republican president, an outgoing host, and another that was briefly suspended, those guests had lots to talk about this year. Here are the ten worst.

It was a rough year for the late night comedy business. One show was cancelled, it was announced another will be cancelled next year, and another was suspended for spouting off about conspiracy theories related to Charlie Kirk’s assassin. Add all that to the regular program of liberal politicking, and you get the top (bottom?) ten moments from late night 2025.

Kathy Griffin has a bizarre idea of who is a "professional Nazi." Ditto for Robert De Niro.

For the men of the late night comedy talk shows, the second half of 2025 was not good. In July, Stephen Colbert announced his show will be cancelled next year, and in September, Jimmy Kimmel was suspended for peddling conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s political ideology. As a result, many guests would often gush over them and portray them as free speech martyrs, and when…

The world of liberal late night comedy got even more liberal in 2025 with the inauguration of a new Republican president. According to a new Media Research Center study, the late night hosts told 12,011 of their 13,097 political jokes about conservatives, which comes out to 92 percent, up from 82 percent last year.

Every year, CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s final The Late Show episode before Christmas features a politically-inspired cartoon meant to make his liberal audience feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With liberals feeling extra sad this year, Thursday’s cartoon featured President Trump and various administration officials arresting Santa Claus and his elves only for them to turn the tables at the…

Stephen Colbert’s Wednesday cold open for The Late Show not only smeared the Republican Party by claiming their health care policy motto is simply “Kill,” but the CBS host also took House Majority Leader Steve Scalise out of context by omitting his actual beliefs to do it.

Earlier in the week, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show got onboard with the liberal narrative that a second strike on a drug boat back in September was a war crime, but after Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley visited Capitol Hill on Thursday to defend himself, they noticeably avoided the subject on their shows that night. CBS’s Stephen Colbert, on the other hand,…

If you are the type of person who enjoys being lectured to by British royalty about the former colonies currently having a king in President Trump, then Wednesday’s episode of CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was for you. For everyone else, Prince Harry’s bit with Colbert was a sad reminder that the late night comedy shows can suck the laughter out of everything, including…

MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow traveled over to CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday for a three-segment interview that concluded with her hyping her new podcast about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, which she and Colbert suggested is analogous to the present day.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed New Jersey Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill to Monday’s taping of The Late Show for some mutual back patting, where Colbert praised Sherrill’s “curb stomping” of her opponent while she portrayed him as a free speech martyr who got cancelled because of President Trump.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to the Thursday taping of The Late Show for a three-segment-long interview that included an attempt to push New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on the rest of the country by reducing his radical leftism to mere concerns about affordability.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert continued his attacks on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, calling his recent actions around the impending end to the government shutdown “obviously a failure of leadership.”

Despite being a group of people eager to portray the government shutdown as Republicans’ fault, the late night comedians used their Monday shows to attack Senate Democrats for finally realizing they had no leverage and ending the shutdown.
