Damn what will democracy do without late night talk show host #42069 saying Drumpf bad?

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

nah it's kinda wild how they went after him for how milquetoast his schtick is and how much boot he licks when it wears a suit that fits like Rumsfeld. not that he's some valuable voice. tell it to the cartoonist i guess.

Part of it is probably just talk shows being phased out and replaced by podcasts.

yeah i've kinda been expecting TDS to die since they never got a permanent host after that "ha ha striking miners got killed" jerk, and never got a stable replacement for the second slot after colber report. didn't think the late show was in danger, none of those guys have been funny for decades besides Conan.

Oh right---I thought maybe Colbert had his own cartoonist or something. I don't know what I was thinking.

Lib TV host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, which the network confirmed will end in May 2026, a decision that many are alleging was made due to Colbert's criticism of Trump.

Really it's because it turned out he wasn't playing a character before hosting the late show

For further context, before 2016, he used to satirize right wingers as the character "The Reverend Sir Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World"

Now he satirizes right wingers as himself (and it's bad satire because it's real)
