“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night called CBS’s denial of his claim that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico “crap” — and urged the network and its parent, Paramount Skydance, to stand up to the “bullies” in the Trump administration.
Colbert’s broadside came hours after CBS issued a statement on the controversy.
The host, whose show will end in May as it was canceled by CBS, held up a printed copy of the network’s statement about Talarico’s interview during his show Tuesday night and said, “I don’t even know what to do with this crap.”
LOL at CBS trying to gaslight Stephen Colbert. Absolute buffoonery.
People should watch Jeff Daniel’s Newsroom from 15 years ago. It was an accurate portrayal of the degradation of the Republican party and TV news and while it was optimistic, it predicted networks would be almost as bad as they are in 2026. Even their writers did not predict Fascism taking over the USA.
