As someone who could never stand Stephen Colbert’s overtly partisan, sanctimonious political cheerleading for more than a couple of seconds, I don’t think that any new void is being created by his departure; there was nothing but a void to begin with.
Among those sorry to see Colbert go is astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, a frequent guest. Johnny Carson used to book scientists, but Tyson notes wryly that not many TV hosts do these days.
Brehm saw Colbert make himself into a sort of moral authority and lean into the social justice camp of progressive Catholics: “He is playing up that moral quality by standing up for American moral values like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and he’s doing it with a Catholic jargon, with Catholic language.”
I assure you TDS is devoid of any void whatsoever. It’s everywhere. It’s all around us. Like our imaginary alien encounters. Only the TDS aliens are REAL … and they’re angry, hostile, and will eat us after they anally-probe us.
I really don’t care. But I’m sad comedy has fallen to a complete pile of poop. When Colbert, Carrell and Oliver were setting their chops on Jon Stewart’s show, it was genuinely funny stuff. Miss it.
Neil deAsse Tyson is hardly a scientist. He’s so full of himself he can’t comprehend simple data. I can think of no one more pompous, self-indulgent and full of politically over-weighted pseudo-scientific bullshit.
And in other ‘dead’ news …
