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.

Bedoya: There’s the first bidding war: how much are you going to give Warner Bros. Discovery? The second bidding war is: what are you going to give Donald Trump? Who will censor things the way Donald Trump wants them censored? Every one of these mergers is a chance for Trump to get his hooks into these networks, the people on them, and their ability to make fun of him or criticize him.

Stephen Colbert: « I think I get it now. It looks like the end and I wish it wasn’t. But that’s not for me to decide. “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ». Another reference to The Lord of the Rings: « “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” » The famous line indeed comes from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, spoken by Gandalf to Frodo. Stephen Colbert is really focus now on his project. It’s a massive task.

In his final show, Stephen Colbert admits he was, in fact, getting trounced in the ratings by GregGutfeld. Neil DeGrasse Tyson: Two contradictory realities cannot coexist without rupturing the space-time continuum. Colbert: Like what? NDT: For instance, if the show is #1 on late night and it also gets canceled. Colbert: They canceled 'Gutfeld'?!
