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.
F. Scott FitzGerald’s strangely empty cousin, D. Void FitzGerald…
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.
Strange how Jon Stewart was actually funny at times but his clones are simply mean spirited morons. Then there was that hateful racist African guy they kept around until the show died to prove they weren’t racist.
Jon Leibowitz was actually able to be funny, which is what Jews are known for. But Colbert was as funny as an accountant. He would have fit in more on the CBC where the audience doesn’t expect comedy on a comedy show.
It’s not just Colbert who need to be fired, either…it was the executives at CBS who kept his show on the air in the last few years despite it losing roughly 40 MILLION dollars a year. Losing money…not making money. Who the hell thought they could actually run a business like that?
Turns out that alienating and insulting half of all Americans on a nightly basis isn’t such a great business strategy. I love all the losers out there whining about the cancellation being ‘political’. No, the fact that he wasn’t cancelled years ago was the only thing ‘political’ here.
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.
Yeah, he is a pompous ass.
He reminds me of Naheed Nenshi, another pompous windbag. (Former Calgary mayor and current Alberta NDP leader for those who don’t know).
I put him in the same ‘science’ category as Bill Nye, The Science Guy … or Al Gore, the C- Science Student … he knows more about Black Studies than anything some old dead white men created.
And in other ‘dead’ news …
Former Democrat Congressman Barney Frank Dead at 86

Oh, Oh, you mean Bawney Fwank!
Wasn’t sure for a second there.
Magic Johnson has outlived him with the AIDS virus. Truly remarkable. In the same manner Joe Biden has outlived Scott Adams with the same uniformly deadly diagnosis of prostate cancer
Scott Adams was alive right to the end whereas Biden has been “undead” for years.
Magic Johnson stopped taking AZT, the hyper deadly “cure” repurposed for AIDS. He immediately recovered his health.
Barney Frank was a faggot, and was therefore at high risk of disease. The only tragedy was that he wasn’t executed decades earlier for his role in the Freddy Mac scandal.
“A statesman is a dead politician, God knows we need more statesmen.”
I’ve forgotten who said that.
Never watched Colbert, but when I saw that stupid skit he put on dressed as a COVID syringe, I knew that there was nothing funny or clever about him. The guy is an imbecile.
Exactly.
Colbert fell off of his cross.. end of story..
When I was young, it was a thing to stay up a little late and catch Carson, and later, Letterman, for their guests and schtick.
Yeah, it was good, funny, apolitical comedy and Stupid Human Tricks. Yes, Letterman wasn’t a political ass in those days.
But it’s been decades since remotely considering watching late night “comedy”, there hasn’t been any. No one has replaced Carson, not even Leno.
You all hate Colbert because he made fun of Trump. For f@#k sakes, every time that blithering incompetent idiot opens his mouth (Trump that is), he gives a wonderful load of funny sh!t for the comics to effortlessly make fun off. They just can’t resist. Can’t you people see how embarrassing Trump is as president of the USA? He is doing more harm to the USA than Biden could ever manage. If you don’t, then you are sadly deranged yourselves. Wake up, give your heads a shake and slap some common sense into yourselves. FFS!! (ahh, never mind, you all are hopelessly addled like your addled buffoon hero).
*Sigh*.. This crap.. again..
Listen, here’s the problem..Colbert is a partisan hack, and tediously predictable one-trick-pony. He refuses to reach for anything other than low hanging fruit. President Mumbles was a comedy goldmine as well, but rather than satire, we got asinine dancing COVID ‘immunization’ syringes, which turned out to be almost as dangerous as COVID it’s self.. This was the intellectual equivalent of jingling his keys over us while cooing to keep us amused and compliant. Intellectual and comedic consistency isn’t a big ask. Can’t you see that he is a vapid, fu*king moron, bereft of any actual comedy genius, regardless of your thoughts and feelings about the orange guy.
@Squirrel:
“tediously predictable one-trick-pony.”. That would be an apt description of Trump, the babbling repeater of sheer nonsense.

Do you git paid for yer stupidity, or are you just displaying natural talent?
OK ElBoWZo. Get another booster.
No, Colbert was never funny. He is just another stereotypical Roman Catholic communist.
But like a braindead socialist, you clap for him because you’ve been conditioned into clapping when the “Applause” sign flashes. And like Pavlov’s dog, whenever a communist slurs normal people, you salivate.
Neil de Grasse Tyson isn’t a scientist. He’s a science fiction personality pushed by the deep state.
He’s pompous, loathsome, condescending, thinks he’s the smartest man in the room, and has never been seen at the same time as Nenshi.
He has infinitely more PhDs than I do from schools where they wouldn’t let me mop the floors. He may have affirmative actioned an Asian guy out of a career but if he stays in his lane, he is just fine. He’s not stupid like Bill Nye, faking experiments.
“but if he stays in his lane, he is just fine. ”
When he’s not pushing the Climate Crisis ™ or transgender BS.
Had to look him up. Never watched him – never will.
