In an NYT interview, Santa David made a case that failed like a Colbert monologue
MAGA Disposed of Stephen Colbert—with help of course from podcasts, Twitter and reruns of Friends, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, and Modern Family because if you are looking for late-night humor, you will not find it on the broadcast networks.
But on cable, the Antenna channel shows reruns of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. So if you are looking for political humor from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, there’s that.
Stephen Colbert’s show will end this month due to his B-2 ratings. They are nearly invisible. David Letterman whined to the New York Times that the new owners at CBS are just closing the show just to suck up to President Trump.
Letterman said:
They don’t share the books with me. All of television seems to have been nicked by digital communication and streaming platforms and on and on. TV may be not the money machine it once was. On the other hand, what about the humanity for Stephen and the humanity of people who love him and the humanity for people who still enjoyed that 11:30 respite?
He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, “Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?” I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing, Jason. They’re lying weasels.
NYT community-noted him: “Asked to comment, a spokesman for CBS said, ‘Unequivocally a financial decision.’”
But Letterman’s libel against Skydance makes the MAGA case that Colbert is a talentless mutt who offers anti-Trump propaganda poorly disguised as a comedy routine.
You’re the presi-dunce, but you’re turning into a real prick-tator.
I love your presidency—I call it Disgrace the Nation.
You talk like a sign-language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster.
Would readers be offended if I called Colbert a cock holster for Barack Obama?
You would?
OK. I won’t do that then. Instead, I offer these knee-slappers from Colbert about Trump’s campaign for a second presidency.
Well, f***. It happened again. After a bizarre and vicious campaign fueled by a desperate need to not go to jail, Donald Trump has won the 2024 election.
In this democracy the majority have spoken and said that they don’t care about democracy.
All day yesterday, I was walking around proudly wearing my ‘I voted’ sticker. Today, I wore my ‘I am questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of humanity’ sticker.
OK, that second one made me laugh but not for the reason Colbert told it.
As for the rest, hate speech is free speech, right?
He didn’t get suspended and his show immediately canceled because he tweeted, “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes had a baby=vj.” (Valerie Jarrett.)
Roseanne Barr did.
Colbert didn’t condemn the firing—or the tweet.

“... what about the humanity for Stephen and the humanity of people who love him and the humanity for people who still enjoyed that 11:30 respite?”
O the Hugh manatee!
Dave’s a parody now. No one is watching that nasty little prick.
Homeless Santa with AIDS. 😄
Norm McDonald is gone …and Dave is still here. So unfair.
You got that right.
That was a punch.
Still miss Norm.
One pervert defending another pervert. Perverts unite.
But on the other hand, if he's an unfunny hack with a bloated production staff and no audience, you'll lose a bundle.
Letterman looks like a deranged hobo.
