How can we miss him when he won’t go away? I thought the initial burst of left-wing anger at CBS over canceling Stephen Colbert’s show was the end of the story, but no: it goes on and on. For example: ‘The View’ co-host warns Colbert cancellation could lead to the ‘dismantling of our Constitution’. Celeb hangout erupts into ‘riot’ of support for Stephen Colbert.
After announcing his show’s cancellation last week, the soon-to-be-former “Late Night” host was spotted having dinner with Paul Giamatti at celebrity hotspot Polo Bar on Monday. We hear there were “a riot” of patrons trying to send him well wishes during the duo’s meal.
“The manager kept blocking other people from going up to his table. It was really a riot,” a spy told Page Six.
Not even rock legend Rod Stewart, who was dining at a nearby table, could steal attention away from Colbert, we’re told.
There have been many such stories, as lefties and celebrities have denounced CBS for ending Colbert’s show. The network was losing $40 million yearly on the Late Show, but Democrats evidently believe that was the least CBS could do to help the cause. I know little about federal election laws, but should CBS have been reporting a $40 million annual donation to the Democratic Party? Seems like a plausible theory.
Colbert is a finalist in the inflated self-regard Olympics:
On Monday, he vowed to continue to bring the pressure to Trump’s presidency.
“They made one mistake, they left me alive. For the next 10 months, the gloves are off,” Colbert said.
Who left him alive? CBS? And now the gloves are coming off? Now, he is going to tell us how much he really hates Donald Trump? I don’t much care, since I have never seen his show. But I suspect the executives at CBS will be glad to see the last of Stephen Colbert. They might even regret leaving him alive.
