"Why I don't care if Colbert/Daily Show get canned. I have a measuring stick for what smart, out-there "political" humor used to look like."
"For all the TDS and whatever I enjoyed some of his interviews and still think of him as the most cultured and well-read of the late night guys or even in general, and have a soft spot for him. Maybe now he'll go back to being funny with Amy Sedaris...one can only hope"
"Like, Colbert made that rslurred take about how he'll pay $15 gas no problem because he has a tesla. Setting aside how Elon bad, its a verbatim bourgeoise take."
"And there you have Stewart and Colbert, smugly staring into the camera, reassuring the viewer that they are more clever than those dopey bigots. These were simpler times. Millions of people would tune into these shows at the exact same time and have this belief simultaneously reinforced."
"Colbert makes like $15 - $20 million a year as host. It's a no-brainer from a business perspective. Also his show was rote, unfunny shit."
"He calls him "the other guy" or "the former president" like he's fucking Candyman or something. What a fall from grace from the glory days of Strangers With Candy/Colbert Report"
"If you've only seen the likes Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert, I'd urge you to look up any of his conversations with Orson Welles as a good starting point."
"Watched a few episodes of the newest season and it's basically Colbert-level political satire bits stitched back to back lazily."
"My sister is visiting me in the city and LOVES Colbert. She is not very smart (in general) and has just started to pay attention to politics in the last few years. The overall takeaway is that liberals are good and smart, and republicans are evil and stupid, and that Colbert is physically in great s"
"Also, shows like Noah's & Colbert's that are deliberate attempts of recapturing John Stewart's political satire talk show from the early 2000's don't work and I think it's because when John Stewart did it, it was sort of like he was a populist figure going up against the Neo-Lib establishment but no"
"Is this man serious? Was he actually ever funny? I don't believe it. For nearly a decade I'll flit in and out of hearing an episode here or there and he makes the exact same three jokes. How is he still employed?"
"Seen a lot of people who have it in the twitter bios, etc. Seems to indicate a kind of Colbert-esque lib wisecracking. insufferable"
"A few people that come to mind: Ricky Gervais, Stephen Colbert, Eminem"
"i have the displeasure of listening to Stephen Colbert's show coming from the living room on a near daily basis after moving back home for grad school. It is some of the worst content I have ever encountered. Infantile humor based on the worst libtard takes du jour."
"WE CAN'T LET THIS GUY HAVE THE NUCLEAR CODES *TWICE*!!!!"
"But watching her on Colbert reminded me how twitchy and physically uncoordinated she is in a nervous system exhausted by opioids kind of way. I pulled up some of her earlier public appearances from well before the campaign when she was just VP and not in any particular public spotlight and her idios"
"It's so funny that Jon Stewart was lambasted by Stephen Colbert and Big Lib for suggesting the Covid-19 pandemic could've possibly originated from a lab leak in Wuhan"
"I miss the old Colbert Report when he actually told jokes and not just recite the news incredulously. Late night television sucks ass podcasting is the future."
"Then there's other late night hosts like Stephen Colbert. He took over for letterman in 2015 and completely transformed the show to a 99% political talk show."
"I'm talking cringey stuff like the BLM black squares and stephen colbert trump jokes and stuff like that."
"Absolutely could not be made today. Sort of surprised it hasn't gotten Colbert into trouble at this point in his career."
"Jon Stewart was lambasted by Stephen Colbert and Big Lib for suggesting the Covid-19 pandemic could've possibly originated from a lab leak in Wuhan"
