People might not remember it, but Stephen Colbert first emerged doing a terrific show that was the one place on national TV that allowed non-corporate viewpoints. I had the chance to twice be on that show to talk about corruption & the economic chaos that was coming. With Colbert... show more

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Joe Concha CALLS OUT Stephen Colbert for asking Obama whether he should run for President: “Here you have two men talking about the need to save democracy but let’s have a look at Colbert’s record over the last for years: He’s had on hundreds of Democrats on his show including Bernie Sanders more than 20 times who is the ‘epitome of late night entertainment’. He’s only had on one Republican in four years and that was the profoundly anti-Trump Liz Cheney.” “So in the minds of Colbert and Obama only speaking with one side to those who agree with you 100% is democracy in action.” “To run for president, Colbert would need to leave his safe space and make arguments without 200 staffers doing the thinking for you as he does now.” “The bottom line is his show was losing $40M a year for CBS yet the host is being treated like the next Johnny Carson going out the door. He’s not. 55 million viewers tuned in to see Carson on his final show in 1993. Colbert will be lucky to get one tenth of that,” adds Joe Concha.

I’m excited to be joining Stephen Colbert tonight on “The Late Show.” Back in 2013, I joined “The Colbert Report” to discuss how we build an economy that works for the many, not just the few.

Tonight, the curtain closes on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and on more than 30 years of late-night TV history. Colbert has entertained and provoked from the historic Ed Sullivan stage for the last decade in ways that have transformed the comedic landscape. Geoff Bennett takes a look at what led up to this inflection point and what it may mean for the future of late-night TV.

Tonight marks the final episode of The #StephenColbert Show. I remember being a guest on the show in 2023 and enjoying the experience immensely. Stephen Colbert is a rare talent and a principled public figure. The American people deserve voices like his, not to see them pushed aside for vile political reasons.

On Election Night 2016, Mark Halperin was a guest on Stephen Colbert’s show. “That night, Colbert was really upset,” Mark recalls. “I had not thought of him as much of a partisan before that night. I thought of him as more of an equal opportunity comedian. But he was really upset that Trump won, to the point where I felt bad for him … No doubt, like most the late night comics, he’s against Trump. He’s not neutral. He’s not equal opportunity.” #Colbert #colbertlateshow 2WAY

Jimmy Kimmel began his show by declaring "We will be off tomorrow night out of respect for our friend and colleague, Stephen Colbert, and the writers, producers, staff and crew at The Late Show, whose final show on CBS airs opposite ours. I think you know how I feel about the fact that they're being pushed out. I hope the people who did the pushing feel ashamed of themselves tonight, although I know they probably won't."He also urges his audience to, "tune in to CBS for the last time. Don't ever watch it again, but watch tomorrow night to wish Stephen and our friends at The Late Show a fond farewell."

I asked Jaylen Brown about Sam Hauser for the three-point record and he started laughing: “It was terrible. I remember when Sam almost had the record when we were in Washington, and he hurt his ankle, and I didn't play that game, and I was in the back, and I was like, ‘Bro, you got to get back out there. I need you to get that record.’ And he was like, ‘Oh, it's gonna come back to me. That was two years ago…. It might not be another two years.” “But it was a joy to watch, man. We was all rooting for him. I wanted him to get it, but probably it was a little bit too much pressure on it.”

Stephen Colbert's late night show first aired in September of 2015. Trump was one of his first guests. Colbert spent the first month of his show talking about Trump. Colbert just spent the last month of his show talking about Trump. He talked about Trump on virtually every show in-between. With the exception of the first time couple months (Colbert was actually pretty kind to Trump in 2015), his show revolved around vitriol and hate for one man. Pretty wild.

“Stephen Colbert is done. CBS canceled him. The show is gone.” Stephen Colbert, one of the most vicious and hateful voices in late-night TV, is finally off the air. CBS won’t even replace him. They’re pulling the plug entirely. Stephen Colbert used his platform not for comedy, but to attack anyone who questioned the regime: Newsmax, MyPillow, election integrity, and the American people who dared to push back. Mike Lindell responds: “They canceled MyPillow’s Twitter, de-platformed me for talking about voting machines, and Colbert made a joke out of it. But it wasn’t funny. It was lawfare, censorship, and lies.” Now the tables are turning. Colbert mocked those who stood for truth. But in the end, he got canceled, not Lindell, not the movement, not the message. One more voice of regime propaganda silenced.

Look at the class and gratefulness. Johnny Carson ended his last Tonight Show with. Then compare that to the crybaby Stephen Colbert who spent the last 6 months whining like a school girl ever night because is low ratings show got canceled for economic reasons.

Stephen Colbert actually pushes back on Biden’s WH Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, as she continually LIES regarding President Biden’s mental acuity. KJP: “I had never seen this visceral reaction and the attack on this man… who by objectively had a good three years on the economy.” Stephen Colbert: “It was very personal to those of us who watched it too because it was a shock to our system to see that… [after fundraising for him] three months later I saw a guy who I had not seen backstage at the benefit that I did. It seemed like a dramatically different person.” KJP: “I got to see Joe Biden everyday… The questions that I was getting, the mental acuity, was he able to govern? And the man that I saw nearly every day was someone who was engaging, understood policy and was always putting the American people first, and it showed.”

Stephen Colbert TURNS on KJP with a brutal reality check on her claim that Biden’s ousting was a “betrayal.” It’s not every day you see Colbert go after his own side. By the end, he grew so tired of KJP’s spin, he started talking down to her like a child. COLBERT: “I saw a guy who I had not seen backstage… It seemed like a dramatically different person. And at 81 years old, that’s not entirely unexpected. You can imagine why people got so worried.” KJP: “No one is saying that he didn’t age. I’m talking about did he have… the mental acuity, was he able to govern? And the man that I saw nearly every day was someone who was engaging, understood policy, and was always putting the American people first.” COLBERT: “I don’t think anybody questioned his heart or his policies. But it takes more than that to be the President of the United States. And in a moment of great pressure on stage, we saw someone shock us and worry us, and nothing could assuage that worry. So I don’t think it was necessarily a betrayal of Joe Biden as other people saying, ‘We don’t think we were shown the Joe Biden that you saw.’” KJP: “I saw every day a really ugly assault on someone who had 50-plus years of experience and who, again, objectively had done a good job as President of the United States. And it was heartbreaking to see that type of behavior.” COLBERT: “What happened was the debate performance. Everything is downstream of that.” KJP: “And no one is saying that the debate performance wasn’t shocking, wasn’t a disappointment. No one is saying that.” COLBERT: “Disappointment is such a light term.” KJP: “I use your word.” COLBERT (mocking): “It was harrowing. Look, listen, we’re never going to agree on this.” KJP: “We’re not.” COLBERT: “Other than the fact that I’m glad that you came here tonight and I’m telling you to wrap over there. Would you like to say one more thing before we go?”

WATCH: ‘CBS Mornings’ co-host Tony Dokoupil brings a much-needed reality check to the table of liberal journalists fawning over ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’. His co-hosts dismissed all this, proving his point: “I don’t have an MBA, but I don’t — [Jon Stewart] is not right that the [Skydance] merger, the $8 billion [value of Paramount] is based on reruns of a comedy show...[H]e is just wrong...[T]he business is broken and what no one seems to acknowledge is that the politics also changed. The business changed, and so did the politics, and it got way more one-sided than anything Johnny Carson was ever doing. I think we should reflect on those changes as well. It’s been a big shift culturally in that regard also.”
