Stephen Colbert had left-wing journalists, hosts on 'The Late Show' more than 200 times

"The Late Show" wasn't just a platform for Democrats under Stephen Colbert's tenure, it was also one for left-wing journalists and hosts.

Fox News Digital has counted at least 200 episodes of "The Late Show" that featured members of the liberal media.

The far-left politics of "The Late Show" have been facing scrutiny after CBS announced last week that it was pulling the plug on Colbert's program, which will officially wrap up in May 2026.

According to IMDB search results, CNN anchor and "60 Minutes" correspondent Anderson Cooper holds the record with 20 formal guest appearances on "The Late Show."

Cooper showed his support for Colbert on Monday in a cameo appearance as part of an audience gag mocking CBS parent company Paramount and President Donald Trump.

Other journalists and hosts who were top "Late Show" guests included CNN anchor Jake Tapper, with 12 appearances, the "Pod Save America" Obama bros with 11, MSNBC's Chris Hayes with 10 and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg with eight apiece, per IMDB.

Colbert frequently rolled out the red carpet for his CBS colleagues in the news division for cross-promotion. John Dickerson has tallied 19 appearances, Gayle King notched 14, Norah O'Donnell has six, and Margaret Brennan has three. Several times, the CBS hosts made joint appearances, like King with her "CBS Morning" colleagues.

Similarly, John Heilemann and Alex Wagner, prominent MSNBC analysts, both made at least ten appearances, thanks in part to their stints hosting the political docuseries "The Circus" that aired on Showtime, a sister network under the Paramount umbrella.

The late-night CBS host welcomed liberal journalists from rival broadcast networks like ABC's George Stephanopoulos and Jonathan Karl as well as NBC's Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin and Jacob Soboroff.

There is ample proof that The Colbert show was at least 99% skewed to the leftist activist left. Not to mention it was not at all “funny” or amusing.

Colbert is a Rachel Maddow lookalike on a different network.

Seems to me that if the show was losing money, then the public clearly wasn’t entertained by this guy.

It wasn't about "entertainment".

They had one objective.

Get Kamala Harris elected in 2024.

They failed, obviously.

I never watched him, but by leftwing standards. Isn’t he like the most 1950’s looking geek out there?

Like so much in the MSM it is (soon to be was) an echo chamber.

Billions of dollars spent on OPERATION ORANGE MAN BAD and it was a complete failure. That’s gotta suck.

Never forget Faux News hired Donna Brazile even though Faux knew she gave debate questions to Hillary.
Faux is just slightly less corrupt than the rest of the MSM.

Its obvious to me at leasrt that USAID dollars were funding this woke DNS propaganda machine. The so-called comedy was never funny and reprobate Colbert always came off as a mean bitchy sociopath full of dark secrets.

Hilarious to see this lefty idiot kicking and screaming - ranting all over the place, trying to “diss” his former employers - after he was fired.

He even hired a choir to sing an “f-you” song.

As if anyone even cares - or ever cared. He’s only making himself look like the fool he is - and completely destroying any chances he had of a re-boot.

I haven’t heard such squealing since my last visit to a pig farm.

The show was redundant, like public broadcasting.

As far as I was concerned I didn’t care who he had on. Whatever he was doing was helping our side. It’s great though watching them realize that leftism doesn’t pay.

Never watched Colbert, so I guess I never missed anything.
