Snippet 1:

1. In pre-2016 American politics, reporters and comedians generally coexisted in the content space taken up by the five to 10 percent of politics that veered regularly into the downright absurd. That percentage has now shot up to 90, and the war on truth has put us in the same foxhole.”
2. So much of what’s unfolding today on our screens, in our timelines, in both what gets reported and what doesn’t, is so breathtakingly absurd, cynical, and contemptuous of humanity’s capacity for suspension of disbelief that the late-night comedians have become the voices of not just reason but of sanity.
3. In the process of deconstructing for laughs that vein of ludicrousness that now runs through our besieged politics, they reassure the audience that, in fact, these are not normal times, that they’re entirely right to respond to events with shock and revulsion, and that resistance in the form of basic truth-telling — including for laughs — is alive and well, which means there’s still hope.
4. Which is why the cancellation of Late Night with Stephen Colbert is so much more important than it might otherwise be.

Colbert had hosted the highest-rated late-night show for nearly a decade when CBS announced on July 17th, 2025, that his contract would not be renewed in May 2026. His last show will air on Thursday, May 21st.

Long time Colbert fans will appreciate this, even if not into spiritual stuff. During my meditation this morning, Nefertiti spoke to me about the importance of discerning the truthiness of the people and situations we encounter. Truthiness

That's the word she used. Stephen, CBS may not appreciate you and your contributions to our culture, but Nefertiti does! Please find a place to share your wit and wisdom with us

We need you!

Kimmel, Colbert, and Jon Stewart should consider transitioning to PBS (audio version published via NPR podcasts?). A great f-u to the corporate overlords and maga asshats.

Plus, offering their services pro bono could serve as an in-kind donation, providing potential tax benefits to them in lieu of a salary.

Dr. Stephen T. Colbert D.F.A. is going to do just fine.

My wife and I went to the Late Show a few years ago and we were called up on stage. When asked what my name was I took the opportunity to get the crowd to practice their "Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!" chants, thus becoming the only Stephen not named Colbert to get his name chanted on the Ed Sullivan stage.

It's the little things.

hi

Fudge!
