I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
They are literally planning to kill us all
And take away those last bits of joy and laughter before they do.
Can @markcuban buy a network and blow these clown shows out of the water???
Mark will not save us, hell he decided to join in on the America first party or whatever that Musky boy is making.
My wife and I went to NYC this spring for a live taping the day that Elton John was a guest. We thought we should do it now, in case the show got yanked. We record the show every night and watch the next day.
My kids would love to go, but both are too young. I think you have to be 18. Yes, I made the mistake of letting them watch a while ago, not realizing the show could be a bit risque. Then they liked it too much to stop.
Agreed. How on earth could CBS have done this to a triumphant franchise? Well, it’s not for financial reasons, of course it is all about Paramount, and all about getting in bed with Trump.
John Oliver
His brilliance and wit would wither the paper tiger.
Crushed. Have a reminder set on my tv for 5 min before Colbert begins so I don't miss a word of his monologue.
Agree 💯
I’ve cancelled my Paramount subscription.
I'm done with CBS!! I was already really missing Norah; now with firing of Colbert; I'm done with CBS. Wouldn't it be great after paying trump $16 million that they don't get their merger approved👍
The Blob never reneges or cheats or Always Chickens Out, right?
He is brilliant!
Yes!!!!
Cancelling Paramount today.
Even though I can get free for working for Walmart for 24 years. I cancelled after they starting supporting A Traitor to Democracy
Thanks. My history teacher always said , "I you really want to hurt someone, hit them in their pocket book. " God bless Robert Gordon, PhD.
His performances throughout his career have been indicative of all you say, but the humane part is most important. I worked at his 40th birthday dinner, and he was genuinely all that. Just a good guy, and wicked smaht.
I truly believed that we would see both Kimmel and Colbert arrested during one their shows... you know; for disagreeing with whatever policies the magats have now...
Agreed, I'm going to miss him. I've been watching him for a long time.
It's the ear and the left arm twitch. I love Stephen and watch every episode.
I see that twitch and wonder if he had a little nerve damage ( I did, it's getting better but I shake my arm from time to time like that to get the tingling to stop.. )
I've never seen any information about it and hubby never noticed it until I mentioned it. I figured it might be nerve damage. Hope that you do well with it.
It's getting better but pretty sure I'll have to deal with it the rest of my life.. Think I noticed it on Colbert cause it was familiar
Colbert was one of the few things I still watch on network television. It’s not a financial decision.. it’s a political decision. Fuck CBS 🖕
Literally the only network tv i watch! @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @nbcnews.com
Other than sporting events, plus Colbert (and Meyers) I can’t remember watching network TV in the past 15 years. But make no mistake, it was a financial decision, or more specially, a bribe. It HAD to be part of the settlement and also to help push their merger through. Payoff.
Moral, too
This was Paramount’s doing. They own CBS.
American Catholic Excellence
I say we get ALL the trucks in the DC and the Palm Beach area hauling mens XXLG adult diapers to "DROP THEIR LOAD"
I know he's had you on his show many times and you always seem entertained like we are
From the Colbert Report to Late Show, he's maintained that rare balance of intellectual heft and mass appeal. A unicorn in media.
Agreed.
I agree
Amen!! I hope he lands on his feet somewhere else with a network that appreciates him.
So true. He doesn't need CBS.
Agree. We are huge fans and will continue to be no matter what he does or where he goes next.
He and Maddow should team up.
This is the President of a nation posting this! How has he the time to do this? Why did no one stop him from punching so far down?
Beautifully said
All media, including yours, are owned and operated by weathly white men, oligarchy. No one is safe until it’s all STATE MEDIA
The next President needs to fully fund PBS, with extra funding to take as many of our legacy media companies as possible into receivership until new owners can be found. There is no place for Fascist ideologues and foreigners in our Fourth Estate. Maybe the UN can help during our Nuremberg Trials.
bsky.app/profile/navy...
We do. It's sad that more people can't or won't.
He should resign and tell all.
Skydance Media, led by David Ellison, recently acquired Paramount Global in an $8 billion deal. Skydance will merge with Paramount, with Ellison becoming Chairman and CEO and Jeff Shell as President. David is Larry Ellison's son. Larry is multi-billionaire owner of Oracle and hard right winger.
But David ain’t his father and is an apparently a well known democratic supporter. This bend of the knee was all redstone. The acquisition has not closed yet which is why the administration had leverage. David will have a lot of work to do to restore cbs
Perhaps he can start by not censoring 60 minutes, reinstating Colbert and truth in news media.
Larry is 81 and it seems that the Big Macs in heir shitler’s diet are finally starting to do their job. David is 42 and will own cbs for a loooooong time. My guess is he’s playing the long game. Cozying up to conservatives until such time he does not. Here’s hoping anyway.
CBS/Paramount absolutely sucks!!
Crush the pedophile Trump regime to dust.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Support Stephen Colbert
I would also include Jon Stewart. He used to tear people apart so subtley that they didn't realize it until it was over! 😂
Remember when comedian/entertainer Volodymyr Zelenskyy ran for and became president of Ukraine? Yeah, that was awesome. 🤔
Which is worse? A president who’s an expert in bankrupting businesses (and now his country), or one who is a morally bankrupt child rapist? Fortunately for you, you don’t have to decide. They’re all wrapped up in a nice little box called Trump.
I'll take a comedian president over a reality TV game show host any day
Let’s go!!!!!!!@stephencolbert.bsky.social
He's like Al Franken with more energy. And his ankles are narrower than his thighs.
Al Franken is another brilliant voice for truth. He was done a huge disservice. We need more like him on Capitol hill.
Absolutely dems got that one so wrong and we all paid the price for losing him!
her treatment of Al is the reason why I will never support Gillibrand for anything ever. she was an opportunistic fuck throwing away the good in search of the perfect on scant evidence.
They do say a president needs to look good on TV now, and that's why the heritage foundation picked actor Ronald Regan. Compare that to the much more competent bush sr, who wasn't re-elected. I always thought it was Stewart, but I could absolutely vote for Colbert He should run in the primary.
The democratic party should also be trying to "sell" their party from a process/functional level. Like, convince me my voice will be heard and I'll vote for you Literally relabel themselves as the "pro democracy" party, where we introduce legislation that improves how we do democracy in America.
Fml I wish they did ranked choice in the democratic primary. Definitely for the president, but preferably all offices. It's the best we've got since the supreme Court decided fusion voting was illegal.
We do in MN for all statewide elections. Gotta start building that pressure at the grassroots level. If we get enough states doing this we can make changes to federal elections.
#Colbert2028
He certainly has been awesome.
He may just need to get on the daily show squad once again
Paramount also owns Comedy Central, someone else said The Daily Show is also being cancelled.
I’ll friggin never watch CBS again. Channel is dead to me.
💯
Humility is its own kind of brilliance, as you know Chris Hayes. :) Decades ago Colbert deftly wove in a long Bible quote, maybe ‘For God so loved the world..’?, in Latin? in a poignant way that floated butterfly-like with the beauty of deeply human hope and love… Goodness is priceless.
Him and Jon keep me sane whilst laughing. Oh and John Oliver!
Also Jimmy Kimmel.👍😂
I can’t believe I just started following someone with 249K followers and no posts or follows.
Accurate on both accounts!!!
Yes! Well said.
👍🏼
HE’S RUNNING!!
He isn’t gone yet!🥸
I’ve met him as well & agree 💯
Chris is one of my favorites as well. 💙🫶💙
Absolutely agree! Cannot wait to see his next act!
Hire him at MSNBC
Just hire him. We cannot afford to lise his genius. Is there a way rich dems can have their own channel. Fox does. I will choose him. Government needs accountability not sheep!
Rich Democrats are just Republican saboteurs!
He should sue Paramount for $20 billion.
I wonder when his contract is supposed to be up. If it's after May he could get them for breach of contract.
Why he's a threat to tRump and MAGA.
May 2026. Just months before the primaries? Coincidence?
And Paramount is getting rid of him because he exposed their bribery scheme.
He's going to make a killing over at Netflix!!!
Some form of his show will likely be on Netflix or Prime.
I’m guessing Jon Stewart should be on that list as well
Please encourage him to run for president in 2028!
I agree, Chris. Gonna treasure these next ten months!
He will survive this. We will see him elsewhere. As you say, he’s just simply too talented.
A new media platform will emerge and crush the old guard. CBS won’t be able to compete with FOX and will go by the wayside
Through the looking glass - Colbert interviewing a popular Egyptian satirist after he was cancelled for speaking truth to power. youtu.be/rZLwPui5TQk?...
Thank you, I couldn't recall his name, but he was the first person to spring to mind when I learned the news.
HOWEVER .... Neither the mentioned account nor that of the show he hosts have posted so far on this platform ... Haven't checked, but assume they are both active on X ?!
Amen!
The leader we been waiting for?
www.visiontimes.com/2025/06/24/f...
Absolutely! 💯
Colbert is a genius. A true gift to us all. Just to add some ugly color here. Shari Redstone (a lesser Redstone compared to her father Sumner) is trying to sell Paramount but needs FCC approval. Trump is extorting her before the deal is approved. Explains the $15m settlement and the cancellation
youtu.be/e1ui4qWUHhs?...
And John Oliver?
I have long held that he is the Mark Twain of our times. Between "The Word" and his conversation about God with Gervais, it was the only comparison that seemed to fit. I hope he turns to writing. He will be immortalized through those, as yet unwritten, works.
I think he needs an audience. He was pretty open about how difficult it was to do a show from home during the pandemic. And it was about no audience (except the luminous Evie that we got to know).
I was thinking about him as a writer as well. He's really good at moral theology, and he should give it a try as an author. This from someone with a PhD in religious studies. We are always really critical of people thinking that they can talk on this stuff! Hahahahaha
Right up there with you! @chrislhayes.bsky.social @allinwithchris.bsky.social
He’s not dying, ppl. He will rebound gloriously.
It's more about the power that 47 has even over this, & being able to "punish his enemies". Plus, as a warning to other late night show hosts. 47 thinks he "won" & that is all that matters to him. But if this sh*t keeps going, the loss of creativity & free expression is tragic.
He doesn’t have power. Most of the journalists who have been let go by dying cable outlets went on to thrive elsewhere, and are better for it. #independentmedia
I'm enjoying Acosta & Moran on Substack. But Colbert has expressed that he thrives with an audience, & I'm not sure that there is a platform for him yet. Perhaps he can go the way of Trevor Noah, but the general public doesn't get to see him enough.
His current audience almost 100% have access to online. Stop lamenting it. He’s been freed.
I should have said LIVE audience. Colbert was quite open w/ how difficult it was during the pandemic, doing his show from home (but WE got to know Evie as an upside) & he was visibly relieved to be back in the studio. For HIS sake, he needs people in seat in front of him.
Most do that online, as well. You get someone to monitor the chat and run with it. He can also tour, or do events at a dedicated space.
We can all go sit in his yard...
I presume he lives in NYC - do yards exist there? 😉
He's been living in Montclair, NJ for 20+ years. Oh, and yes their are homes in NYC with yards lol especially in the outer boroughs.
ty for an East Coast education for this lifelong Californian! We sure get some weird ideas from tv, movies, media, stereotypes... (I don't live on the beach!)
He could do live streams on YouTube and/or Twitch and tour live shows. I'm sure he's working on figuring it out.
Let me have my moment........ 🤡💩💀☠️⏳️⌛️🪦⚱️
😆
Agree. We need to have space to grieve!
YES! It's shameful that @cbs is doing this. I see ratings drop after this cancelation next year
A man with principles and not afraid to stand on them!
Heartily concur
This is a Great opportunity for #StephenColbert to just do his own online show #CBS is a shit rag #LegacyMedia is State Media
So, do you imagine a conversation in which Paramount told him to tone it down and he said no?
💯! I can’t wait for a better show to come. His Covid shows were even great. He helped keep me sane!
Omg, he really stands out for me from the Covid times. If I didn't laugh all day, I could always laugh at him. Brilliant.
I’m feeling #Neflix, #HBO or #Showtime isn’t going to sleep on his availability. Looking at the success of John Oliver’s long running, multiple award winning show, Colbert won’t have time to vacay before the offers start pouring in
I’m sure he’s already got a list of options! Hope the band and writers go with him! They are all fantastic.
He should replace Bill Maher.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Maher’s pissin his pants at the prospects of having competition
For sure! I’d love to see @stephencolbert.bsky.social mix it up a little. Do longer monologues for one. And what happened to his midnight confessions segments? Where he confesses to his audience? It was hilarious! Example below is as relevant 9 yrs later. youtu.be/Z7tk2_TGCf4
God, YES😝🤣!! He and a few other people Carrel, Neeson, Oliver & a gang of other of his longtime favorites over the years
Exactly! Bring them on!
Good
Making Colbert a free agent is the stupidest thing MAGA can do.
This is so heartbreaking.
CBS and Paramount just asked to be boycotted
👋 what’s going on in SA? You are not missing anything here except for a front row ticket to hell. What I would do to be home right now.
Another beautiful day though we are heading in for a cold snap this weekend. There is some drama going on with the saps, we are waiting for Cyril to convene another family meeting
What a beautiful sky. Thank you I hope Cyril figures out the drama. I feel like there is a wave of war spreading across the world right now & I hope that it doesn’t reach SA. I’m so sad with all the wars.
Well, it's mid-winter - skies are clear, temperature is a balmy 21 deg centigrade (that's about 70 dec F). Still no genocide....
Wooo I was anxiously gripping at my seat all year long. I mean what about my white mom & brother & their family in South Africa. How will they survive the genocide & horror that SA is doing. 😁 (Sarcasm). Thank you for the update. Sending ❤️ to my nation. What a beautiful country
I am sickened by the news but also feel more spurred on to fight. Censorship of one doesn’t stop there! We gotta resist and persist.
His last episode on CBS will garner massive ratings. My dream would be that on that last episode he announces his candidacy for US President.
CBS/Paramount BENDING the KNEE once again…their loss. Sayonara to both!!!Stephen Colbert will rise above!!!
You can get him fired, Donald, but you can't keep him quiet.
The FCC is required to consider public input on renewing/transferring broadcast licenses. Paramount/Skydance will need to transfer license. Time to flood the FCC with our concerns about how CBS is in fact suppressing differences of opinion & is not fighting for free speech. #CancelCBSLicense
Okay, got a quick link ready for us to do so? Any guide or form text?
Hoping to get an attorney with expertise in media to suggest language. I'll try to draft something this weekend and post.
I fucking love crowdsourcing, thank you so much!
He should run for president.
FFS. He's a television star and he has 19 writers he pays to make him sound funny and smart. we've had enough TV showman. we need a real public servant.
You should hear him speak off the cuff about theology. He really is one of the more compelling public philosophers we have right now. Governors and senators are also showmen—may as well have a good and honest one
Hey. I'm a huge Colbert fan. I love his knowledge of LOTR & Star Wars, I love his humanity, his obvious love for his wife & his moral center AND he's an actor, a comedian w/ a paid writing staff I want a public servant whose at least run for an govt job & has experience handling numerous people.
Biden was one of the most experienced Presidents we've ever had, but he failed to communicate his accomplishments, so now we're ruled by an insane game show host, again. Colbet is too sane to want the job anyway. But we really do need an incredible communicator with blazing moral vision
you mean like Kamala Harris? 🙄
You're right. She didn't have much experience on stage, working with a writing staff. And there's probably a reason no women or Black people currently host network late night shows in America. Guess we should go with Colbet. He's got the experience that matters to us
still a big NO.
Fine. We go with resume over entertainment skills. Kamala it is!
@stephencolbert.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social Yas!!!!! 👏 Evie would make a wonderful First Lady. I would heavily campaign on your behalf!!
Why would you wish for this cursed future for him? 🤣.
FCBS
I agree 100%. I can’t imagine not being able to watch this brilliant man 5 nights a week. Wherever he ends up, I’ll watch him
The next 10 months should be l-i-t!!!
Colbert will join the Meidas Touch Network! Better start making office space and a new studio @meidastouch.com
That is why he scares MAGA so much 😡
It's the worst commercial TV decision made since they cancelled Gunsmoke. I've been watching TV for over 60 years and Colbert is obviously dangerous to the people who support Trump. He causes them to think about morals, something those people discarded from their lives many years ago.
True, he also makes people laugh whilst doing it... that's a special kind of skill...
Colbert and Maddow need to start a network together!
When MSNBC fired or demoted all their POC talent I said Maddow, Hayes and O'Donnell should walk out with them and they should all start their own network together. Adding Colbert to the mix would be an awesome idea.
Along with jon Stewart!
That would be quite the Dream Team! Yes, please!
His best revenge would be to land a better gig.
Putting him at MSNBC doing Gutfeld counter-programming would be a waste of his talent, but I still want to see it.
💯
Unfortunately, Little Trumpy wins again by silencing such a direct outspoken opponent to his lies, manipulations, and heartlessness that is available to the masses on local television. (Please, Lord, DOWN with the self-appointed king!) May Stephen land somewhere even better.
I watch Colbert regularly, Kimmel occasionally but IME Kimmel is MUCH more outspoken & sometimes vicious in denouncing 47. Wonder if 47 will find a way to "punish" him, too? Or maybe go straight to drawn & quartered.
I'm sure he tried in his settlement with Disney but failed. I agree, we watch Kimmel when Stephen is gone or a repeat. I just didn't know if Kimmel has as many politicians on to speak out against Little Trumpy & his goons as Colbert does. Is horrifying watching as each dominoe falls to tyranny. 😢
He has many of the same politicians as Colbert. However, his monologues are definitely more venomous.
I agree and also think they’re coming for him and SNL next.
He has been trying. DjT posted after his glee of Colbert being canceled that Kimmel should be next
HBO should pick up his show.
He's better off getting out of corporate media. Maybe a podcast on Substack and/or one of the alt media companies like Meidas Touch or MSW Media, a lot of other fired media figures have done that and been very successful.
Good actors surrounded by good writers = celebrity worship?! Welcome to reality - American networks are doing the bidding of The Establishment. Again. When will we stop acting surprised?!
Love him.❤️👏👏👍💯
I feel like I have been robbed of a very important part of my life. Goodness willing, Colbert will find a way to return to the airwaves despite the sick sob who is terrorizing our country.
I feel the same way. I’ll never understand why one orange deranged blob of scum is being allowed to do so much devastation! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
GOP, SCOTUS, Mitch, Project 2025, Christians! You’re not mud, your shit runs down the leg of this country.
The orange BLOB is being allowed to do so much devastation because the USELESS SCOTUS created this monster cause they thought it would take the limelight away from THEIR CORRUPTION. NOW they don't know how to stop him. 🍊💩 NO SPINES, NO COURAGE. JUST COWARDS WHO ENJOY WATCHING THE CHAOS. 😠
#ColbertSNLHost bsky.app/profile/nerd...
I am curious if your last name is Brick. Mine is.
First name
Interesting first name! I should’ve called my son Brick Brick!
That's part of why trump hates him so much. trump does not like smart ppl. Only dummies for him. Hope there is some way around this firing. I enjoy Colbert's show.
He's going to be missed.
Boycott CBS!
The Cowards Broadcasting System. It’s political all the way.
They should get some spots on Meidas Touch, get some other shows on that network, start to edge the 'legacy' networks out.
They said they had a spot for him.
He should get a political pundit show For real this time
And exactly why these monsters are silencing him
Been watching the dude for nigh on 25 years now in some form or another, and he has never stopped being just as entertaining as he was the first time I saw him.
Love Colbert! Remember his “this week in god” segment on the daily show?
I am pissed
Colbert is a national treasure. Will we now see him unfettered?
#HBOMAX should pick up his show!
I sure hope so There’s nothing more dangerous than someone with nothing to lose and I would love nothing more than to see him end his run in a brilliant verbal blaze of glory that outlasts Trump’s Presidency If the US wasn’t such a shitshow right now, I’d buy tickets to New York to see his show live
Tickets are free
Tickets are free, but the cost of a hotel in New York isn’t. So let’s write him and suggest he start a weekly lottery to reward loyal fans with an all expense covered trip to watch his show in person for a few people?
Bonus- it could a photo op to flip off Trump tower.
Tickets to New York.
As would I, if Australia wasn't so very far away.
Me too! 🙋🏻♀️
Me three!
Kindred spirits!
He already has an offer from the Meidas Network to join their podcasts with a guarantee of freedom to say what chooses.
Colbert is making $15 million yearly with CBS. He's in a whole different league than Midas.
True that. I wonder if Colbert has become wealthy enough that he can afford to retire, and only work when he wants?
Thanks for looking that up- Glad he’ll be okay, not so sure about us. I’m going to trust Colbert that he’ll make something happen out of this. He’s too smart, inventive, and compassionate not to.
Money is probably no longer an issue for Colbert. Freedom to speak and be instrumental in taking down the oligarchs may supersede financial considerations.
I believe 47 can still block the merger, so wonder if this is yet another caveat he demanded, and Paramount appears to be greed driven so whatever it takes....wonder if Stewart is next....
It’s a crime that they are cancelling his show. We are officially a country run by a dictator. Shame on Paramount.
Gene Roddenberry would be ashamed of the company that's keeping his creation going. I wonder if any of the current show runners are going to address this in an upcoming episode.
Well put. He is a special person.
Time to do something Important! DNC have mouths. They have eyes. Everytime anyone asks them anything they can speak on this. They can see that this is FDJT’s watergate. Carter’s hostage crisis. George HW Bush’s “Read my lips” FJB’s vacant stare in the presidential debates. #EpsteinFiles
WTH???
I enjoyed The Colbert Report back in the day. Tbh, at this point he might want to look into leaving the States. Hard to tell how dangerous his position really is nowadays.
Yes, I’ve heard rich, white, cishet Christian men are having a hell of a time these days.
Indeed
I never wanted him to go to CBS in the first place. I look forward to his next project.
His next project will be sending CBS out on an ice floe with Genghis Con. And Hollywood and Broadway are gonna help.
Two exceptional humans; Stephen Colbert & Rachel Maddow. Two lanterns in this dark time. One makes me laugh and think. The other makes me think and laugh. #FreePress
Couldn’t agree more! #BoycottCBS_after5/2026 #StephenColbert #LateNightKING
Well said indeed.
The Cowardly Broadcasting Network doesn’t deserve him. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.
*System. Not Network. Too early in the morning.
Walter Cronkite is resting easy, none of this is of the least concern to him - he done served his time
You got that right, stupid politics
I can’t wait for the orange Cheeto to be gone. I don’t think I’m fitting into his reign of terror too well.
I can't wait to sleep at night again.
Maybe he’ll find a home on a platform Trump can’t touch like YouTube, Bluesky, or Substack. We will enjoy him.
He has an account on Bluesky but hasn't posted anything yet. I'm following him anyway.
Yes but have you met Mr. Stephen? He's a different case all together 😉
Senator Colbert?
There's certainly many interested people here on bluesky who would love to hear how he's doing.
I agree. He's been fearless.
I feel broken. I rely on humor and he, Kimmel and Meyer my favs. You, Maddow and O'Donnell my favs, too. They are going after everything we believe in. Be careful, my loves.
The three of them should have walked out when their POC colleagues were fired or demoted. That was a huge red flag moment. What would MSNBC do without their entire prime time lineup? The main reason they asked Maddow back 5x/week is because the ratings were tanking, from what I hear.
Whoa
a socially exceptional humankind 😊
And he IS still OURS. We will get him even a BETTER more visible job fukking fascism.
Agreed.
You were so right, and that's why the big money people powers that be don't like him.. HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS.. HE IS ONE OF US
The best I'm thinking he pissed off Paramount/CBS and Daddy Taco 🌮 Pedophile by expressing his feelings
Makes sense The dictatorship gets stronger by eliminating the truth
Yep, but Colbert is not gonna go away, just gonna go somewhere else, and we’ll go with him!
Nope, he's not going away, and I'll be there with you 💙🫶
Larry Ellison hosted a vacation for Netanyahu on his private island Lānaʻi.
Yep, not subtle at all. BUT, joke’s gonna be on Ellison. There isn’t enough audience for another MAGA silo.
EXACTLY!! Taco absolutely hates Colbert. Probably part of the settlement agreement 🤬🤬🤬
I'm sure it was, and Kimmel will probably be next This is how dictatorships work Coming soon: Trump Channel
Trump Channel is already here. It’s called Fox “News”.
No longer. Trump's threatening to sue Murdoch. Gonna be priceless
Yes, indeed, but his shallow ego will make him have his name on it
Thought he already is doing that with his " non woke" streaming service www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/b...
He's going to keep building his dictatorship propaganda
🤬
😡🤬
💔
I'm going to miss Colbert 😢
I do agree, but we won't miss him for long. He is so brilliant that he will definitely land on a much better platform and we all follow him there 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Most definitely, and will follow him wherever he decides to go
Here’s to hoping! :D
That's what I'm thinking too.
That’s why he was nominated for so many Emmys and had such high ratings
Tell paramount their decision was wrong: • Email for Customer Service/Feedback: Paramount Pictures Customer Service at phe_customerservice@paramount.com. • Physical Mail: Paramount Pictures, 5515 Melrose Ave, Hollywood, California, 90038, United States.
With respect, that’s the mailing address for the movie studio Paramount, which is just one division of the corporation. If you want to write the corporate headquarters, it’s 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036
💁🏾♀️ I'm already angry with Paramount bcuz they didn't pick Jim Pickett back up for a third season. I disagree with you about Colbert, but the United States media is slowly giving in to Trump. It will be like Russia in this country before we know it. Why are these businesses so afraid of this coward?
He is a generational treasure and another victim of the thin skinned dictators attempt to suppress opinions that don’t align with his.
I hope the next year he throws it all out there on the show at Trump and just basically raises hell. It’s not like they can fire him twice.
I’m sure he’s shifting through his emotions and options, but let’s get real for a moment. He can use the next 9 months to rain down fire on Trump, or he can use the time to reflect and position himself for what comes next.
He can also walk and chew gum at the same time. I have witnessed it.
Colbert will be just fine, CBS not so much. Paramount is on the boycott list since they caved to blackmail.
Time for everyone to cancel Paramount Plus.
Done. Honestly, there was little we watched.
The funny thing is I was on the cusp of signing up for Paramount+ to watch some things. Not anymore with this announcement.
I kind of wish I had it so that I could! Stephen will be the only thing I'll be watching on CBS until he's gone.😢
We couldn't find anything we wanted to watch on Paramount Plus, it's a bleak-ass, dry platform
That's the problem with a lot of streaming platforms. Most have a couple of good shows and the rest of their content is just trash. Disney made a mistake with Doctor Who, they got just the future seasons instead of buying out the contracts for past seasons held by Amazon and Max.
I watched it live & thought Colbert has decided to leave. He’s a smart man; he probably has other plans.. doing a nightly show for 10 yrs is a lot. He went out on top & I’m guessing CBS gave him a good settlement. Notice he said nice things about CBS. He will make as much going a weekly show!
After going after Trump for ten years, Colbert couldn't stay silent but I suspect the CBS management decided he was now a liability they could no longer afford. Management have been trying to play the market and sell game and it has not worked out for them.
This is just the beginning of taking down people that speak truth to power. Only hope is even people make a stink paramount backtracks.
Netflix should grab the whole cast and crew.
Netflix or HBO Max.
i just know @stephencolbert.bsky.social is FUNNY 😁 may the “financial decision” not have the financial effect that the network wanted 🖕🏼
So he should run for office. We need someone with empathy and people skills. He also knows a bit about Super PACs because of his stunt with Jon Stewart in the 2000s.
100%!!! I believe he will evidence in a more powerful environment - he is needed now more than ever.
I AGREE!He also opens real dialogue about real political issues.I HATE that we will lose this.WE NEED IT.He opens people’s eyes.
@cbsnews.com more propaganda on the horizon? Of course you’re up trashy trump’s 🍑
The reason that Maria Bamford has always been his favorite comedian is because her brain works the same way.
Sub cancelled

She was mostly silenced, too.
Das ist ein interessanter Zufallskonstruktionsversuch - Luke, Leia, Maria Bamford und Colbert in einem Atemzug. Was ist die wahrscheinlichste Verbindung zwischen ihnen?
Colbert is saying NBC doesn't plan to replace him with another talk show host. The Late Show will just cease to exist. What are they going to replace the time slot with? Reruns of I Love Lucy? What? OR will that time slot turn into doing election coverage? All summer long? Trump tends to work late.
GenX got this as kids, kiddo 😉
Right after a flag and a song.
Being awakened by that high-pitched siren sound scared me right out of my skin as a kid.
Meant “wake up and turn that dang tv 📺 OFF before you blow up the CRT (cathode ray tube) and burn your house down!!” 😝😅😂
I swore it was my mother's voice asking why I was sleeping with the TV on.
Billy Joel - Sleeping With The Television On youtu.be/3ghZnIXDKOM?...
🤣y’all remember the when portable 📺 ts came out?? The ones on those rolling stands? Our Moto was the WORSE 😝😂!! That thing got soo hot 🥵 we had to turn it off every 3 hours 🤣😆!!
I have one for ya... Does anyone remember Sky King?
That was a bit before my time, but I vaguely remembered it as a radio and tv drama about a ranch farmer who was also an airplane pilot. He and his family fought crime..? I guess? YouTube has episodes on archive. Sky King TV (1952) colorized s01e01 "Operation Urgent" youtu.be/36YXdagfY5w?...
Yes!
I do, but they were reruns with the Real McCoys following it. THis was the early 1960s.
You're the first person besides me to know who Sky King was. I loved the Real McCoys too..
Those stand lasted longer than the tv.
It's going to end up being Chump Maga Goon Tv
Love, love Colbert.
what about Jon Stewart?
What a lovely comment. Agree completely.
And in what world is the cancellation of Colbert not a direct consequence of Donald Trump’s presidency. This one cuts deep. Yet another sign — and warning of worse to come.
Let’s always remember, we’re still in year-one of Trump’s reign.
That's reign of terror - to anyone just tuning in
12.5%. I wonder if vegas has the odds on him completing this term.
That’s why they cancelled him
He will land on his feet, and Colbert may end up being even worse for Trump due to this move.
Colbert 2028
Yes!
That’s up to Colbert. As I see it, he’s got three avenues. Reflect Rain down fire and thunder Business as usual I think he goes for the last one. No reason to crank it up, and no point in getting down. Just keep doing what he’s always done, be topical and always remember to be funny.
The people who think he’ll choose #2 forget that 200 people’s jobs depend on him. Which is to say, I agree with your conclusion.
And he knows it. But if he has a momentary lapse and forgets, there’s always Evie. 😀
Are they an adorable couple, or what? (And not in a sickeningly sweet way.)
I hope you are correct!
Good thought - no corporation to tame his comments. Fucking CBS.
It will be sad to see him go just because Trump is a Pu**y!
Looking forward to following @stephencolbert.bsky.social wherever he goes!!
Colbert has 250+K followers already and has not posted one thought!
Surely he will find a new home and take his fans with him. Hit Paramount where it hurts, cancel your subscriptions.
His performance at the WH Correspondents dinner with Bush was an act of outstanding courage, he will always have my admiration for that
I was thinking as much of his open disrespect of an Italian SC judge who had to sit there and take having Colbert's chin being flicked at him in public He took NO prisoners that night
That's when I really 1st becsme aware of him-it was epic.
God damn it, I had to look up date. 18 years since the “the last third is usually backwash” banger
A surgical takedown of a sitting president to his face- and somehow, the next morning, the New York Tmes/LA Times, had completely missed it.
He is one of the best. It will be sad to see him leave. But he gave us something to lighten the mood. Which in this day and age you need it everyday. He will go out on top with his family beside him. I wish you well on your next journey. Mean while?
He needs to run for office in NC!
I'm guessing you mean SC since that's where he's a resident :)
Yes! I meant SC. Wouldn't it be great!
Amen, Chris, but don't sell yourself short.
Agreed 💯👏👏👏👏👏👏
I won’t miss a single episode of @stephencolbert.bsky.social from now until May 2026. I hope he exposes the corruption of the orange felonious prick each and every episode.

If you cancel me, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. - Colbert
And the oligarchy has another skin on their wall as they slowly choke the First Amendment into oblivion…..vote Democratic.
And demand that "centrist" Dems do better or step aside for progressives. If they were actually fighting for us the way they should be things would be going a lot better.
Colbert and Maddow should start their own network.
Colbert makes me laugh. I look forward to his monologue 3very night. He’s also a great interviewer. Hope he lands somewhere quick. I am done with CBS when he is gone. It’s political not financial
How can we help him so we don't lose his genius?
Watch him every night! Hope he gets the Emmy. Write to CBS/Paramount and then other networks to hire him. I am not watching CBS any longer. I will miss Matlock, but oh well.
And it had nothing to do with finances.
A PG-rated Robin Williams maybe?
Oh, a human with a quick mind? That’s cool! But we’re still waiting for a raccoon to host a show about the wonders of Bitcoin and trash can economics! Digital coins for digital paws!
He’s brilliant, I’ll continue to seek out his content wherever he ends up, CBS however ….
This comes from a place of love, but it would be nice to see him put that talent to good use for a change instead of wasting it hosting a late night show that robs him of creative freedom. A "Colbert Report" relaunch would be a gift to our culture right about now.
I'd love to see him do a podcast on Substack or YouTube. It would be great to see BlueSky start some sort of YouTube alternative, since YT is owned by Google.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social - How do we get @maddow.msnbc.com to post here more often?
And @kaitlancollins.bsky.social
Maddie and Colbert could save the country and Maddow run for Pres and Colbert run for VP, just saying.
That would be a dream
Right!!! and they are both wicked smart and far more qualified than most.
Paramount/CBS did not make Colbert a 🌟. Colbert made Paramount rich AND now Paramount will fail.
Next time you talk with him, tell him we want him to run for president!
I am a HUGE Colbert fan. AND we don't need any more celebrity presidents who do not know or appreciate how government works.
I’m a huge fan too and I completely agree!
I think Colbert could be a really quick study.. But yeah, let's focus on people with a passion for public service first.
Now imagine him unleashed from a network owned by a Republican donor and soon to be by a fascist oligarch. Stephen Colbert will find his platform. Even if it's senator from South Carolina.
#Colbert2028
I would totally vote for Colbert! He can unite people through humor and his brilliant mind!
