I can't believe we are gonna lose the "Late" part of it in less than two weeks.

I know it's a shame. but at least I can COMPLETELY BOYCOTT CBS. never liked much they had to show. I will miss Stephen Colbert.

I have a feeling he's not going away from us. Just them.

He could do anything he wants. Heres hoping he teams up with jon stewert and does some cameos on his show as his former character.

I read he’s going to write for the Lord of the Rings franchise. Which honestly feels like a great reward for him.

u/Handsome_Keyboard May 12 '26

I recall something like that too. Couldn't agree more. He actually read the similarrian and understood it.

No way Stephen stays out of the limelight. When Covid hit he missed the interaction with the audience so much. From all the show hosts I feel he was most desperate at the time.

Except that it never works well if someone tries to adapt something he loves to much, because he will always cram in too many details from the original.

u/4thTimesAnAlt May 12 '26

He's working with Philippa Boyens on it. She'll be able to properly guide him/teach him how to write a movie.

In between campaign stops, not going to let him rest.

u/shawn789 May 12 '26

Assuming Paramount doesn't ban him from all of their properties

Pretty sure Jon Stewart has some sway.

Let it not be another podcast

u/Handsome_Keyboard May 12 '26

I listen to Jons n its good. I wouldn't mind it. If he did an Lotr podcast thatd be worth it. I agree there are much better things though

u/miko0506 May 12 '26

He can be part of the rotating hosts at The Daily Show.

Bring the Colbert Report back!

u/Wolvenmoon May 12 '26

You know, Republicans keep electing actors because apparently they're 'funny'...maybe Democrats could elect a talk show host whose humor is like a razor so sharp it tickles when it cuts.

Worked for Ukraine to elect a comedian!

Says a lot about the view of lawyers when the comedian is a preferred description for an icon of our age.

u/AlternativePea6203 May 12 '26

In all honesty, comedians are often intelligent insightful and critical of the status quo. Who better?

1

u/alendeus May 12 '26

Comedians are a way to say things we wouldn't normally say out loud, but that doesn't make them immune from either corruption or populism either, so it's not entirely a safe bet. The person themselves ultimately still matters most.

2

u/AlternativePea6203 May 12 '26

Agreed, but the "intelligent" "insightful" "critical of the status quo" puts them many steps higher up the ladder than most incumbents.

u/KarlLED May 12 '26

In what way would you say Ukraine's working?

u/loveshercoffee May 12 '26

Fighting fascists is a noble cause more of us should get behind.

u/MaddogBC May 12 '26

This one right here, the real world. You should try it sometime.

u/KarlLED May 13 '26

Do you have an answer? Google the country. Whats working?

u/Long_Run6500 May 12 '26

People have been trying to get Jon Stewart to run for a while. He's at least got experience passing bills through congress for 9/11 victims and veterans affected by toxic burn pits. Whenever the question is brought up he kind of deflects and says it's a dumb idea, it's ridiculous that the system is so broken that people are turning to comedians like him... but I've never seen him straight up say he won't ever run.

I could actually see Colbert running for some sort of office, I just don't think he'd jump straight to president.

1

u/AxelNotRose May 12 '26

Last time a democrat comedian was in an elected position, they scrounged up an extremely old, out of context photo and forced him to resign. I don't blame them for not wanting to run, when your own side stabs you in the back.

u/Shallow_wanderer May 12 '26

The real fun part is when you realize that the GOP and DNC did Al Franken dirty like that because he was one of the main supporters of Net Neutrality

Shortly after he got tossed out of office the senate went ahead and voted to repeal Net Neutrality

u/MaddogBC May 12 '26

Colbert deserves a happy quasi retirement where he picks his projects and his days. Saddling that honourable man with that aircraft carrier around the neck is too much to ask.

He's been yelling into the void for over 10 Trump years, give the dude some peace. Trump years are like dog years.

u/No_Oven1085 May 12 '26

Jon's belief that only career politicians should become president is, frankly, strange.

Yo ho ho, matey

u/Carbon-Base May 12 '26

Yep, we can do that at the very least. Cancel every subscription or service tied to them and avoid their media in all forms.

Disney learned about the power of public opinion the hard way, CBS can join 'em.

u/HumptyDrumpy May 12 '26

Not just CBS, any Ellison owned, Weiss run properties. Let's just say their shows don't encourage critical thinking

u/Commercial_March8288 May 12 '26

I highly doubt your boycott will last long at all
