Stephen Colbert

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live’s co-head writer, executive producer, and wife of the eponymous host Molly McNearney recently gave an interview with the entertainment news website Gold Derby that was published on Thursday, where she defiantly claimed the late night comedy show format isn’t going anywhere because people (i.e., liberals) still need them to help them make sense of the world.

Once again, somebody in the late night comedy show business is calling “bullshit” on my most recent late night guest count study. This time the man attacking my integrity, as well as that of my NewsBusters colleagues, was Pete Dominick, Stephen Colbert’s former warm-up act, on Sunday’s Sanity with Alisyn and Dave podcast.

Before CBS decided to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel was pessimistic about the future of the late night comedy show.

Lame duck comedian Stephen Colbert went on a tirade against President Donald Trump’s tariffs and heralded the supposedly impending doom of skyrocketing prices, and ended up beclowning himself in the process.

With CBS cancelling The Late Show, plenty of people, including former Tonight Show host Jay Leno, have suggested that the industry has become too partisan.

Closing out another week of Democratic guests, outgoing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert welcomed California Sen. Alex Padilla to CBS on Thursday to hope that he is successful in giving legal status to illegal immigrants because President Trump’s immigration policy is defined by its purposeful “brutality and cruelty.”

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,…

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,…

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. During their conversation, neither man displayed an understanding of the proper definition of a tax cut, while Reich smeared former President Ronald Reagan for allegedly making the country less inclusive for women…

CNN tried rebranding former Vice President Kamala Harris about as smoothly as your friend trying to set you up with a girl who’s got a “great personality.” On Friday afternoon’s broadcast of Inside Politics, the commentary bordered on full-on myth-making. Chief domestic affairs correspondent Phil Mattingly was upbeat that Harris could finally be herself, while lamenting was just under…

That was fast. The Legacy Media circled the wagons to tell us “The Late Show’s” cancellation was, in no particular order:

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.
