Stephen Colbert

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 and his wife, Evie, joined PBS News Hour on Monday to promote their new cookbook and discuss his approach to The Late Show. Colbert told Amna Nawaz that he will not welcome “disingenuous” politicians to his show, but not only is that not true, “disingenuous” might as well be Colbert’s way of saying “Republicans.”

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.

Johnny Carson wouldn’t recognize today’s “Tonight Show.”

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.

The Democratic National Convention featured the expected crush of progressive stars.

The end of a Democrat convention really draws out proclamations of Historic Possibilities, and Rachel Maddow, Jake Tapper, and Stephen Colbert stood out in the gushfest. It's quite a contrast with how all the anchors summarized Donald Trump's acceptance speech. 

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…
