Lib TV host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, which the network confirmed will end in May 2026, a decision that many are alleging was made due to Colbert's criticism of Trump.

Really it's because it turned out he wasn't playing a character before hosting the late show

For further context, before 2016, he used to satirize right wingers as the character "The Reverend Sir Dr. Stephen T. Mos Def Colbert D.F.A., Heavyweight Champion of the World"

Now he satirizes right wingers as himself (and it's bad satire because it's real)
