Democrats Provide Comedy Gold Over Colbert

For the first time in a long time, Stephen Colbert is inflicting people to snort, and it isn’t because he finally began nailing his monologues. As RedState reported, “The Late Show” was canned on Wednesday, with the information breaking Thursday just as Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was wrapping up yet one other interview with the “comedian.”

Since then, the reactions from Democrat politicians have been comedy gold. They’ve also performed an glorious job of inadvertently exposing why Colbert ended up getting the boot despite the historic legacy of the show he ran into the ground. 

In the aftermath, everybody from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) lined up to mourn their loss. 

Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to communicate fact to energy.

Staying far from timid.

Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He at all times advised fact to energy and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not much less. pic.twitter.com/nFMnbwfhWR

I’m not sure if Democrats perceive how comedy works, but “speaking truth to power” is not precisely a cornerstone of the style. The level of comedy is to make people snort by saying issues that are humorous. Calling Donald Trump Hitler for the umpteenth time is not comedy. Neither is dancing with giant syringes while telling people to get the COVID vaccine. That’s political commentary. 

If that’s what Colbert needed to do, I’m sure MSNBC would have had him, but that wasn’t his job. His job was to steward what David Letterman had constructed starting in 1993, not burn it to the ground to appease his political sensibilities. 

Ironically, Walz claims Colbert “pulled no punches,” but that’s precisely what he did. He continually pulled his punches against Democrats to the purpose of absurdity. His show turned a late-night therapy session for left-wingers, both relating to viewership and the parade of Democrat politicians who appeared. For instance, twice-failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was interviewed by Colbert 4 occasions. 

The information of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show cancellation is disheartening. I’ve been lucky to seem on @colbertlateshow 4 totally different occasions. Each time, Stephen requested important questions and made sure to make us snort. pic.twitter.com/ChXjVtblvn

Why did “The Late Show” crash and burn? It’s because of people like Jeffries, Walz, and Abrams. What was once a national establishment was lowered to just one other lame partisan slop-fest, marked by boring repetition and a distinct lack of comedy. People used to tune into late-night tv to snort, not watch left-wing politicians be awkward. When Jay Leno hosted “The Tonight Show” on NBC, he made enjoyable of everybody, and he did it in a approach that never got here across as mean-spirited or hateful. It was an escape for tens of thousands and thousands of Americans. Now, late-night is just a small area of interest for people who demand that even jokes cater to their deranged worldview. 

The humorous factor is, it wasn’t politics that ended Colbert’s show. It was politics that sustained it for as long as it lasted. The far-left nature of the printed was the only motive CBS incurred so many financial losses to keep it on the air. Otherwise, they might have had to admit they made a mistake, and that wasn’t palatable. Until it was.
