The final show can’t come soon enough…
According to a Media Research Center report, cancelled late-night host Stephen Colbert continues to platform liberal guests while taking jabs at President Trump and the GOP, despite it being a reason America is tuning out.
Colbert’s last show will be in May 2026 after CBS gave him the ax.
From MRC:
In the eight episodes from July 21 through July 31, Colbert told 129 jokes about right-leaning individuals or groups compared to only seven about left-leaning people or groups. That 95-percent disparity is considerably higher than his 2023 number of 86 percent or 2024 number of 82 percent, but in the same vicinity as the Joe Biden-less 2025.
A disproportionate number have been related to President Trump and dead convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, but the “devout Catholic” has also found the time to mock the administration for allowing federal workers to discuss religion at work and display religious symbols.
Coming in at less than one joke a day, seven jokes about liberals is extremely low, but numbers do not tell the whole story. Some of Colbert’s jokes about liberals have been directed at his own liberal employer, hitting them from the left for agreeing to settle with Trump in his lawsuit. Although Colbert has never claimed he was canceled because of a corporate desire to appease Trump, he has quipped that Paramount forking over $36 million to Trump is close to the $40 million his show reportedly loses per year.
In the same time span, Colbert has had four liberal guests, including three elected or previously elected Democrats. They include Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, and former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Harris’s last-minute appearance meant the originally scheduled guest, NPR CEO Katherine Maher, got bumped.
