Disheveled Colbert Seen Holding Up Cardboard Sign 'Will Yell About Trump For Cash'

NEW YORK, NY — Mere days after CBS announced that it would be discontinuing The Late Show, a disheveled Stephen Colbert was seen on a Manhattan street corner holding up a cardboard sign that read "Will yell about Trump for cash."

Witnesses reported seeing the soon-to-be-former late-night talk show host sporting a rumpled suit and unkempt hair as he waved his makeshift placard at anyone who passed by and shouted at them that he would be more than happy to go on angry tirades about the president in return for money or food.

"I can rant about Trump as much as you want for a few bucks," Colbert was heard telling one woman as she walked by. "Come on, I'm so good at it. You'll really love it. It will be so arrogant and smarmy. Just pass me a few dollars, and I'll knock your socks off. Dozens of viewers used to listen to my tirades. Dozens!!"

Passersby admitted to being at least somewhat unsettled by Colbert's presence. "I get that he's down on his luck right now, but he seems pretty unhinged," one witness said. "At one point, he volunteered to promote experimental injections with a song and dance number. The man needs help."

At publishing time, a police patrolman had informed Colbert that his sidewalk Trump-berating show had also been canceled.

Why doesn’t he just take his multi millions and go buy a beach house and go away

Colbert should get a job with the WNBA. They like to pay people to lose money.

It probably cost $200 for that sign based on Colbert’s type of spending.

My prediction is that next week will be Coal-Bert’s last on air. He continues to attack his employer, on air.

Colbert will be back after he re-invents himself and becomes a podcaster. He is just gone for the duration of the Trump Term. He should just retire on his millions but he will not.
He is a flash in the pan.

The Bee threads on Reddit are hilarious. Leftists mob every post. They go into convulsions of hate. It’s glorious to behold. They prove every time the axiom that leftists cannot tolerate other opinions.
