As a long-time observer of Stephen Colbert, I know that when he is being brave he gets nervous and makes mistakes — this is what happened with the one time he was the comic at the White House Correspondence Dinner.
So, when he not only started acting weird the last few shows but also kept joking about being “canceled” I started to wonder — is he getting a lot of pressure from the brass to tone it down about Trump and he’s kind of telling them, “fuck you” with all this talk about being canceled?
I just don’t know. But I’m kind of on edge and won’t be too surprised if we wake up on morning to learn The Late Show has been canceled or Colbert has been fired for refusing to suck up to Trump.
All of this is happening in the context of SkyDance trying to buy Paramount, the owner of CBS….there is a LOT of money at stake, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
