Summary
In response to CBS’s announcement that Stephen Colbert’s late night talk show had been canceled, Jon Stewart railed against the network and its parent company, Paramount, accusing them of prioritizing an $8 billion merger with Skydance and political appeasement over the value of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Stewart argues that the decision was more political than economic, although he admits that the Colbert show was not cost-effective and outdated, comparing it to Blockbuster Video and Tower Records. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger mock Stewart’s diatribe, noting that he has long played the role of establishment insider pushing dominant narratives about the Ukraine War, COVID and any number of other topics.
Plus segments on Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive Russiagate accusations against President Obama and Rep. Thomas Massie pushing back hard against Speaker Mike Johnson and President Trump to get the Epstein files released.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano!
