Late Show

For the late night comedy show hosts and their audiences, the Thursday indictment of former President Trump was more of a chance to enjoy a cathartic experience than anything else. However, buried beneath their joy was the sense that they haven’t completely thought through the ramifications.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert became the first network late night host to address the Nashville school shooting on the Tuesday edition of The Late Show where he attacked Fox News for daring to talk about school security, labeling such discussions as “bullcrap.”

CBS’s Stephen Colbert sat down for a softball interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday for an interview where the duo lamented pro-life laws and the toughest question was Colbert wondering if the administration was not sufficiently radical on the environment. Colbert would also use Wednesday’s edition of The Late Show to label Ronald Reagan a crack dealer.

Those who say the late night comedy shows have forgotten how to be funny should consider Monday’s The Late Show on CBS as former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki promoted her new MSNBC show by telling host Stephen Colbert that the network has “a very high standard of what is factual.”

On Thursday, CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert declared Republicans to be bad Christians for their hypothetical budget which was one day after he compared Justice Samuel Alito to the Taliban for his Dobbs opinion.

CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert commemorated International Women’s Day on Wednesday by lamenting the state of women’s rights around the world including in Iran, Afghanistan, and the United States. For the Catholic Colbert, the downfall of Roe v. Wade means that Justice Samuel Alito is just as much of a “turd” as the Taliban.

Stephen Colbert voiced his displeasure at Tennessee Gov.

Colbert was so disgusted by the moves that he addressed Lee as “you dick.”

CBS’s Stephen Colbert and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers all spent part of their Tuesday shows falsely claiming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis seeks to ban the teaching of history in the state as they reacted to different parts of the DeSantis-driven news cycle.

Monday provided the late night comedians their first opportunity to react to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting that the Department of Energy has concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic began as a lab leak. Of those who covered the story, most dismissed it due to the DOE having “low confidence” in its conclusion.

In an attempt to push back against GOP history curriculum policies, CBS’s Stephen Colbert welcomed Pulitzer Prize winning author Isabel Wilkerson onto the Thursday edition of The Late Show while naturally covering up the fact that Wilkerson’s version of history compares the founding to Nazi Germany while asking her to give the GOP advice on the matter.

CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert admitted on Monday that he doesn’t know if deregulation and capitalism are to blame for the East Palestine train derailment, but that did not stop him from encouraging Sen. Bernie Sanders to use the situation to hype his book It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism.

MSNBC's PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton must be really proud of himself for nicknaming Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “Baby Trump” during a Wednesday protest, he traveled over to The Late Show on CBS on Thursday to tell host Stephen Colbert that DeSantis is “trying to use the race wedge” to become president and that his education policies are no different than birtherism.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert is ready for the 2024 GOP Primary and to use his show to help President Biden win re-election. On Tuesday’s edition of The Late Show, he did not appreciate former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s announcement video where she claimed in a video that the American founding is not racist. During the same monologue, he resurrected the false charge that Florida Gov.…

CBS host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert may have had the week of the State of the Union address off, but that did not prevent him and former White House chief of staff Ron Klain from gloating over the moment where President Biden gave the false impression Republicans are demanding cuts to Social Security and Medicare on Monday’s show.
