Late Show

Former Trump chief of staff John Kelly has a habit of being the go-to source for those seeking tantalizing anti-Trump stories, even as other former Trump administration officials who have soured on him cast doubt on them. However, for the men of late night comedy on Wednesday, if an anti-Trump story confirms their pre-existing biases, it must be true.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert once again turned The Late Show into The Late DNC Show on Tuesday as he invited Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to the program to beg reluctant voters to pick Kamala Harris in two weeks.

Bob Woodward took his book tour to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, where he declared that it is “journalism” and not opinion to declare that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

It was a night of Democratic guests on the late night comedy shows as ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, CBS’s Stephen Colbert, and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show’s host of the week, Desi Lydic, all welcomed Democratic politicians to their programs to instill in their audiences the importance of voting for the blue team in less than three weeks.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and CBS’s Stephen Colbert were the only late night comedy hosts to be on the air on Monday after the news cycle gifted them a Kamala Harris plagiarism scandal. However, like their straight news colleagues, they ignored such a comedy gold mine and instead chose to gush over Harris’s medical records and use them as another opportunity to bash Donald Trump.

Vice President Kamala Harris continued her tour of friendly interviews on Tuesday as she joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert for four segments and a beer on The Late Show.

CNN’s Chris Wallace took his 1960 election-related book tour to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday, where he lamented that the “crazy” Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity has made Special Counsel Jack Smith’s life more difficult and sarcastically claimed it was “totally coincidental” that it was a 6-3 ruling along partisan lines with three Trump…

The Late Show host Stephen Colbert was not a fan of his CBS colleagues’ decision to refrain from fact-checking during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. However, his concerns were one-sided because he implicitly approved of Tim Walz not being fact-checked about his claim that a Donald Trump victory means pregnant women will have to register with the federal government. Later, when…

CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Monday’s taping of The Late Show in an attempt to help him reverse his collapse in the polls by labeling his Conservative Party opponent, Pierre Poilievre, “Canada’s Trump,” which naturally means he is, in Colbert’s eyes, a fascist, nativist-xenophobe.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert might as well rename The Late Show to The Kamala Harris Fan Club because on Wednesday he and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow marveled about how supposedly everyone from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Dick Cheney and from the military to Scientific American loves her.

Three of the five regular late night comedy programs were able to react to Tuesday’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris and all agreed that Harris was the big winner as they attacked Trump for spreading falsehoods while covering for the falsehoods told by Harris and the ABC moderators.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert turned The Late Show into The Democratic Strategy Show on Thursday as he welcomed Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly to the program to promote his new children’s book and Kamala Harris 2024.

CBS’s host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert, repeatedly tried to bait Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson into trashing her conservative colleagues on Tuesday, only for her to stymie him with multiple “no comment” responses. At one point, Colbert lamented “that’s a layup” in response to one of her non-responses.

For the late night comedy shows, the week of the Democratic National Convention provides the hosts with an opportunity to prove that they can make fun of Democrats in the same way they attack Republicans. However, a new MRC study shows they failed to do so this past week. In terms of quantity, the comedians hold 113 fewer jokes than they did during the RNC and 60 fewer jokes about Kamala…
