Cancel culture strikes again!

he keeps falling asleep during shows, he just caught up on late night.

It seems all news of Trump are on this level of pathetic these days.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 24 points 13 hours ago

Lol. When a child molester hates you, you’re doing something right.

Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

Stephen probably said something true about him.

Colbert should 100% run for office. He already has an audience, and there is no republican that could even come close to debating him.

Worked for Zelensky in Ukraine

He jokingly ran for office in 2004 I believe. He should do it for real. He would absolutely wipe the floor with Vance.

Because his thinner than the skin of a grape.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago

not thinner than the amount orange concealer/foundation he uses.

Narcissists hate being laughed at.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He can’t always tell when he’s being laughed at. He posted a clip of a satirical comedy in his first term because he thought it was sincere.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

That does not surprise me. :)

Unlike you, Donny, Stephen Colbert is well loved and will land gracefully on his feet in another great role after his exit from The Late Show. Unlike you, Donny, Colbert has genuine friends and fans that think he's a great entertainer and enjoy being around him. I bet that chaps your ass pretty badly.

Comedians are some of the most well liked people in entertainment media.

Because he's a petty lil bitch with the thinnest skin on earth.

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.org 9 points 17 hours ago

Orangest skin, too.

Trump is a tyrant.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 27 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

In lieu of any solid Democrat candidates, a Stewart/Colbert ticket in 2028 looks pretty good. Both are very smart, well-intentioned, and well-grounded people.

How about Conan O'Brien as Secretary of State or WH Chief of Staff?

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago

Conan O'Brien Must Go fix our diplomatic mess.

Besides, how can millions of viewers be wrong?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago

Ask Fox News.

He's learned in the last ten years that he can say whatever he wants and his lickspittles will applaud. Plus dementia has removed any filters he ever might have had.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

just in time, as Carr announce there would be "minder" on the network to monitor anti-trump criticism.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 15 points 19 hours ago

Every accusation is a confession.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This is some IMAX level of projection.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Stephan Colbert should just give up, sell Colbert Tower and all his other properties, then move to Russia.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 11 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

But they did cancel his show right? Isn't this the last season of the Tonight Show?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

The Late Show and yes, CBS cancelled it. The last episode airs May 2026.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 points 14 hours ago

He can’t remember that long ago.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Dude is losing ground on every front. He wanted to feel strong again. The rats are fleeing the sinking ship
