Stephen Colbert earned his comedic bona fides by sending up the rich and powerful, perhaps most famously eviscerating the press to their faces from the lectern at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2006. But now, as Colbert’s knee-jerk impulse to defend Joe Biden and Democrats becomes more evident every day, the once-great comedic mind has been reduced to yet another sh*tlib protecting his preferred wing of the oligarchy.
Jimmy and playwright/comedian Howard Skora discuss Colbert’s disappointing career trajectory and the sad state of late night talk show comedy.

Colbert is what happens when you get caught with kids on Epstein's island.
Giving this topic bandwidth just keeps hacks like Cobert “remotely” relevant.
By completely ignoring a television personality you can make them unpopular enough that they get replaced.
I love your truth telling. Please keep it up – honesty like yours is what we need more of!
Late night vaxxine worship and covid cheerleader talk shows are a horror. I can't even stand to see their promos. But they're only one segment of the propaganda. Great show as usual Jimmy and crew. I fully agree. Please keep it up.
Colbert Audience: ""Do we like fbi dir James Comey this week or.."
Bandwagon without the tread.
It looks to me like Jimmy Dore is the one thats changing & not Colbert. Personally im glad Jimmy Dore is seeing things differently.
Seems that Colbert is auditioning för White House Press Secretary, a hatchet job which Colbert is eminently qualified for .
An active hand in wartime prop. Bravo, clip on earrings Colbert.
The last time democrat's were for the people, were when they fought to keep people as slaves.
Steven Colbert has not been funny in years. So sad to see him decline to such pitiful depths. What makes a person like him go to the dark side? It's far more than money.
He has the POWER to PROPAGANDIZE millions of people.
I'm going to start calling him Darth Colbert.
Joe Biden talking about using chemical weapons in Ukraine? WTF is America in Ukraine for in the first place?
And what's wrong with Darth Colbert's audience that they've allowed themselves to have Darth Colbert do their thinking for them rather than thinking for themselves?
Critical thinking is dead among at least half of the population.
Great description Jimmy!
Darth Colbert's show is a Partisan Rally.
Finally single tickets!! Most of my friends hate jimmy dore and won't entertain the idea of going to one of his shows.
It's a Official Tte Democrat Party needs to be removed from the ballot. That Party is full of Nazis and hate. Steven Colbert is a complete Grifter and part of a Psy-Op to distract people.
Jimmy's guest is right on when he said that the Late Night Show Hosts are merely Manufacturing Consent for the Oligarchs.
Oh dear, decades ago, Howard Hughes, who was then a real billionaire, thought that everyone had a price.
Jimmy & Guest, apparently you don't know another important component to the Will Smith story. Pfizer sponsored the Academy Awards. The FDA is approving a Pfizer treatment for alopecia. That whole scene was great advertising for Pfizer. I suspect Will Smith did not actually hit Chris Rock that hard so that's why he could recover so fast. It was all for show biz & advertising.
Chucky Schumer directs Colbert who to go after
So according to Steven Colbert, if someone in his audience doesn't like what he says, that person can smack the salt out of Steven Colbert mouth.
Colbert proves that some people will say and do anything for money and applause.
Colbert is just a tool of the establisment, and that fawning audience of his just laps it up.
These are gold jokes for the Oscars, they'd lap them up.
Does Steven Colbert have shares in Arms companies?
don't confuse actors' personalities with the parts they're playing.
I can’t stand SC. Sleepys going to get alot more people ☠️
Exactly. Manufacturing consent
People like colbert thought Trump was a cancer so they voted a senile bastard like biden and a useless vp so that shows their choice was way worse than trump could ever do.
C'mon Jim Jam, Joe has no recollection of saying it.
