Stephen Colbert

With the exception of NBC’s The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, all of the late night comedy reacted to the assassination of Charlie Kirk on their Thursday program by hitting on all the proper points about political violence being unacceptable and un-American. Some even criticized some on the left for their reaction to it, but while some may sincerely believe that gun control is part…

On Tuesday, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert became the latest stop on Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s book tour, but the eponymous host got more than he bargained for when his straw man portrayal of a recent decision involving ICE was so bad, even the dissenting liberal justice had to correct him on it.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed NPR CEO Katherine Maher to Thursday’s taping of The Late Show for a grieving session on the latter being defunded. According to Maher, the fate of democracy depends on NPR, and only people who seek to divide and pit Americans against each other could possibly support defunding it.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert had an unconvincing rebuttal on Wednesday to President Trump’s recent Truth Social posts that portrayed Chicago as a crime-ridden and dangerous city. Colbert’s three-part response involved telling Trump “[bleep] you,” repeating some false statistics, and saying Chicago can’t be that bad because The Late Show traveled there in the summer of 2024 and came back…

If you are a normal person, you might have missed that over the Labor Day weekend, left-wing portions of the internet were running wild with rumors that President Trump had died. Of course, these rumors were false, but on Tuesday, CBS’s Stephen Colbert still had to stop The Late Show audience from booing that fact.

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. Now that Colbert has been cancelled, Kimmel is singing a different tune in order to advance the narrative that Colbert’s cancellation had something to do with President Trump and that, actually, the state of late night is quite strong.

POLL RESULTS: Worst Media Take of the Week Winner!

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. During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday, HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver claimed he would not be taking advice from Leno and suggested such criticism would lead to…

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.”

POLL: What Was the Worst Media Take of the Week?

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,…
