"Sir Colbert is costing us millions and the ratings keep hemorrhaging. Should we consider moving on?" "Let's see, who does he have on tonight?" "Well, Senator Adam Schiff..." "No, like the lead guest? You know the big actor or comedian?" "It's just Schiff sir." "Cancel it."
Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.
This post perfectly exemplifies why Colbert - theoretically hosting a late night comedy show - was canceled…

.@MegynKelly: "Can a man become a woman?" @RahmEmanuel: "Can a man become a woman? No." Megyn: "Thank you, that's so easy. Why don't more people in your party just say that?" Rahm: "Because I'm now going to go into a witness protection plan." FULL interview:…

I mean imagine how evaporated your comedic instincts have to be to not realize you have gold happening in front of you but all you're thinking about is how this might hurt "The Science" or the Democratic administration or whatever warped calculus was happening here...
The beginning of the end for Colbert was when he got so nervous Jon Stewart made the obvious point that COVID probably started in the Wuhan lab - he said Stewart worked for Ron Johnson, stammered about Fauci, wondered if it would all be edited out. Hack... youtube.com/watch?v=sSfejg…

Stephen Colbert is allowed to make fun of Donald Trump all he wants - and he has for years. The problem is when he does it... on a program that costs $100 million to produce, and loses $40 million a year. He's basically Jim Acosta on Substack - hacky jokes, saving democracy…
I missed Colbert’s biting commentary lampooning the president from 2021-2024. In fact, his performance then is yet another reason for his cancelation now.
A country where you can't lampoon the president is not a free country. Of course, we're not there, not even close, in the US, but there's a bit of a chill in the air today
He always told truth to power. Here he is yukking it up with the vice presidential nominee over a casual coffee…
Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less.
“Party officials described the draft document as focusing on the 2024 election as a whole, but not on the presidential campaign — which is something like eating at a steakhouse and then reviewing the salad.” Great piece from the NYT… nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/…

You know it’s going to be a good research packet from the team when the “Who produced this packet?” line reads “Everyone.” Thursday. 5th Column. It’s ON. @wethefifth @mcmoynihan @kmele @MattWelch
If the Democrats were smart they’d realize they already found their “liberal Joe Rogan” if they listened to Joe Rogan’s show this week.

Mark Halperin and I worked side-by-side covering the Clinton White House years ago. He was a huge help to me, and told me today as we did this podcast together that I was helpful to him. I was pleased to hear that because I hold him in the highest regard. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nex…
