With Colbert Canceled, Is Scarborough Auditioning For A Late-Night Gig?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/24/2025 9:24:27 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

With Stephen Colbert canceled, and Morning Joe in perilous straits as MSNBC is discarded by its parent company, could Joe Scarborough be making a pitch for a late-night gig?

The question arises in light of Scarborough's antics and bell-ringing stunt this morning, bringing to mind a late-night host's desperate bid for laughs.

Scarborough went on a rant against Tulsi Gabbard's White House briefing room appearance in which she laid out accusations against Obama in connection with Russian-collusion conspiracy claims about the 2016 election.

During vaudeville days, a judge would ring a bell to remove failed acts from the stage.

Claiming that Gabbard's performance fell below even the supposedly low expectations that had been set for her, Scarborough twice rang a bell [see screencap], and promised there'd be many more bell ringings throughout the show.

Hope so, that’d be the end of him. No one watches late night TV anymore.

He’s not the least bit funny and he’s a woke POS so he’d fit right in.

I wonder if his eleven viewers from his morning show would sty up late to watch him at night?

Scarborough is only unintentionally funny.

Agreed....after Leno the lack of quality in late night was more than obvious.

People are sick of hearing political attacks from shows thar are supposed to be funny and entertaining and aren’t.

Love how Scarborough invokes the name of Karl Rove to validate his hissy-fit against Tulsi. Rove was Scarborough’s Tulsi Gabbard during the Bush administration.

As I remember it, the shtick was that Carnac would be given the answer, and he had to provide the question.

The one that I remember is:

A. UCLA
Q. What happens when the smog lifts? :-)

Nah. Their meds probably kick in around 10pm so it’s lights out.
