Let Us All Join Brian Stelter In Mourning Over One Less Hour of Nightly Resistance-Lib Dreck

In case you haven't heard the incessant whinging, caterwauling, rending of garments, and gnashing of teeth from every leftist celebrity for the past several weeks, tonight is the final show in the utterly forgettable run of Stephen Colbert's Late Show at CBS.

I took a quick peek in the Editor's Room at Twitchy and Townhall Media for a reaction:

Yep. Pretty much.

But even though no one will even remember Colbert's name, let alone his show, after a New York minute, believe it or not, everyone isn't celebrating CBS's decision to cancel an unfunny 'comedy' show that lost the network $40 million a year.

In fact, for some, it is a day of national mourning.

Brian Stelter is in mourning over Colbert’s show coming to an end:

“It just made the world a little less bleak…that’s what we’re losing in this country."

Yep, somehow the country is going to have to find a way to soldier on, despite one less hour of resistance lib programming… pic.twitter.com/0rukCoxBho

Umm, what is he even talking about? Top 10 lists? Stupid human tricks? Colbert never did any of that. That was David Letterman's thing. The fact that Stelter is trying to lump the two together because their shows bore the same name proves how deliberately obtuse and disingenuous he is.

If Stelter wants to know why such comedy is no longer part of America's culture, all he has to do is look at Colbert himself, who long since abandoned trying to make anyone laugh in favor of what Stephen Miller (not that one) accurately dubbed 'late-night group therapy for libs.'

If your hope for the country depends on a late-night host dunking on Republicans, you might be the one living in a bubble. America’s strength has never come from TV studios—it comes from its people. https://t.co/1lP0QHU4SR

And here's the truth that the left will never admit: No one will miss Stephen Colbert.

Not even them.

A week from now, no one will even remember the show was on.

Oh, sure. They'll pretend to miss him for a little while, just for clicks and attention, but in less than a month, they will move on. Colbert is entirely disposable to them, as most people are to the left. They only care about the revolution, not about each other.

If Colbert's show was so important for the country, how come so few watched it?

Because he was not funny. And he only spoke to a small percentage of the country, few of whom even deign to watch network television. They enjoyed the clapter clips they would see the next day on social media.

That's it.

But Stelter is not alone in donning his black arm ribbon and his sackcloth and ashes over the death of The Late Show.

Bridget Phetasy, fresh off her utter humiliation of aging hypochondriac Taylor Lorenz last night, took the time today to blast every other celebrity pretending that cultural Armageddon was upon us.

Kimmel is probably too dumb and wrapped up in his own TDS to realize that no one will miss him either when he inevitably gets cancelled.

These people are so entitled. They think they should have shows that lose millions. Make movies that lose millions. Write books no one reads. Colbert’s job was to be funny. He lost his show because he allowed his anger to overshadow his humor. https://t.co/2qUegJqbsb

Well, apologies to any Twitchy readers who are fans, but in my opinion, Springsteen's music also sucks, and always has (with a few notable exceptions very early on in his career).

As self-serving and narcissistic as it is for 'The Boss' to dedicate a song to Colbert, I think it's a suitable match for two people that no one will miss when they're gone.

More importantly, Phetasy is 100 percent correct in her assessment of why The Late Show is no more, and also about how unjustifiably entitled people like Colbert and Springsteen are.

These guys are all nauseatingly self-indulgent.

OH, GOOD LORD!

I'm only surprised that they didn't use an image of Colbert nailed to a crucifix and adorned with a crown of thorns.

And these late-night hosts -- Colbert, Kimmel, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers (who gave themselves the absolutely cringeworthy name of 'Strike Force Five,' by the way) -- wonder why they are more the object of jokes in 2026, rather than creators of them.

Stelter and other lefties can mourn all they want. Even if Colbert wasn't a DNC and Pfizer operative in a comedian's clothing, that part of American culture died long before he decided to turn The Late Show into his own personal Trump-hating soapbox. The days of everyone in America tuning into Johnny Carson, Letterman, Jay Leno, or Conan O'Brien went away when the rest of our monoculture did.

Even successful late-night hosts like Greg Gutfeld or Bill Maher could never capture that audience or the national zeitgeist again. We're just in a different era.

The fact that Colbert survived as long as he did despite horrible Nielsen ratings and abysmal financial losses is not a testament to him, but rather to how protected he was by leftist institutions such as CBS.

And now that time has also come to an end.

Phetasy and her husband, Jeren Montgomery, did have one great idea for CBS to try to salvage some viewers after the local news each weeknight, though.
