First on LateNighter: The Late Show's Strike Force Five Reunion drew the show's biggest regular-episode audience since Kamala Harris’ pre-election visit in October 2024.
I’ll miss Colbert. It’s really sad and scary what has happened here. I wonder what they will try to replace that slot with. It will fail. I’m noticing other shows starting like America’s Bible Quiz, or whatever it’s called hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. It’s like they think they can make mainstream media even more conservative. I’m sure that show has dogshit ratings. And ratings and profitability are the supposed metric they are using to make these content decisions.
I watched that show.

lol that show is terrible.
That format has been tried so many times with much better hosts and guests. And it always fails.
Colbert is finishing because it failed. It’s an expensive Democrat propaganda machine vaguely masquerading as a daily entertainment show.
