Stephen Colbert is being taken off the air — and Trump is celebrating.
CBS claims it was about “costs.” But The Late Show had strong ratings, a loyal audience, and a recent Emmy nod.
So why now?
Just weeks ago, Colbert called out CBS’s parent company over massive legal settlements tied to Trump. MAGA voices demanded consequences. And suddenly — the show is gone.
This doesn’t look like business. It looks like a warning.

Very concerned
Silencing comedians is a threat to free speech
Somewhat concerned
This looks political, but I need more facts
Not concerned
This was probably just a business decision
I'm not sure yet
I need more information before deciding
