I wonder how many times Colbert has been someone’s c*** holster. He doesn’t have enough talent to make it on his own.

I think that the prevailing view on the FCC was that they did not want to raise Colbert’s stock with his lofos by making him into some sort of martyr.

That’s fine. Colbert is free to speak his mind, and we’re all free to not watch his show. The FCC doesn’t need to investigate every outburst by every late night talk show host, or they wouldn’t have time to do anything else.

It’s “coal-bert”. His name is pronounced “coal-bert.” The fake French pronunciation was something he made up, presumably to seem more snowflake and Frenchy-like.

#24 If the FCC does not do something then tv will quickly go into the gutter then the sewer.
I bet the FCC quietly is letting them know there will be a penalty if they do this again. I remember when Dan Rather kept lying about George Bush.
He was eventually replaced and was seen on a going away goodbye, don’t let the door hit you on the way out show. He still was off the air from CBS.
Colbert may lose his job too.

-- Per the article Colbert made his comment in the FCC's "safe harbor" period. --

And now, "cock-holster" is a specifically permitted word during "safe harbor" hours.
