Latest in Stephen Colbert

Donald Trump was in the news today. While that’s about as surprising as a prize in a Cracker Jack box, Stephen Colbert did his darnedest to joke about it. Equally unsurprising. Fodder for his monologue on The Late Show tonight focused on POTUS’ own monologue from the previous night, when he made a wide-ranging and…

The formal condemnation of President Donald Trump by the Democrat majority House of Representatives provided some rich comedy material for Stephen Colbert. House lawmakers approved a resolution on Tuesday that formally denounced President Trump’s recent tirade against the four congresswomen known as The Squad. Trump…

Another day, another opportunity for Stephen Colbert to body slam President Trump. On Tuesday night’s installment of The Late Show, Colbert called POTUS out for his back-and-forth with the four Democratic Congresswomen known as “The Squad.” The CBS late-night host read Trump’s tweet from earlier in the day, when the…

CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert returns from its holiday hiatus tonight, and lots has changed in the past two weeks! OK, not really anything has changed: The man who leads the league in late-night presidential harassment came back to work locked and loaded. Colbert didn’t need to reach back days or weeks for…

The Late Show won’t start quite as late as usual a couple of times this month. CBS said today that its Stephen Colbert-hosted late-night talker will air live immediately after the second batch of Democratic debates on July 30 and 31. No word yet on which gests will joining Colbert for the live broadcast from the Ed…

Senator Kamala Harris proved to be one of the biggest winners of this week’s Democratic debates. Her memorable line about food fights not being what the American people wanted – which shut down a shouting scrum – brought order to chaos and stamped her presence among those unfamiliar with her style. The Late Show with S…

In his Late Show monologue, Stephen Colbert joined the chorus of those who scored the debate a win for California Sen. Kamala Harris. He must have been distracted by her rhetorical mastery, though, because the lines he and his writers came up with were not especially effective. “I believe in global warming because…

Stephen Colbert, who has more live shows under his belt than any other late-night host, offered a low-key, sardonic monologue recapping debate night. He said the lineup on stage could be boiled down to “Beto, Corey Booker, Elisabeth Warren … and seven people angling for MSNBC shows.” The host picked up on the…

Late-night hosts unloaded on President Trump once again Tuesday, this time for his poorly-worded denial of advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s allegation that he sexually assaulted her 20 years ago in a New York department store. Trump told The Hill Carroll was “totally lying” about the alleged attack. “I’ll say it…

TV's late-night hosts had plenty of material for tonight's episodes following President Trump's decision to call off a strike against Iran. POTUS said Friday on Twitter the U.S. was “cocked & loaded” to use military force against Iran for downing a U.S. drone earlier in the week. But, he told the nation, he called off…

The Democratic presidential candidate field is large at this early stage, and getting to know much about the people running can be a chore. So tonight, Stephen Colbert presented his “Doin’ It Donkey Style,” a segment looking at a recent New York Times survey of the candidate field, which raised an important question…

The political talk shows today focused on Iran’s shooting down of an unmanned US drone, an act which could be seen as a provocation toward war akin to a gunboat being attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah claimed both sides have their stories. The US is trying for sympathy by claiming, “Mom…
