This is what I’ve been saying. No one watches this show anymore because everyone knows it is a propaganda arm of the failing Democratic Party. They alienated the majority of Americans and burnt the show to the ground with their divisive hateful content. The occasional zinger based on truth was not enough to save them. They did this to themselves. (Jon Stewart better pay attention or it may happen to him too.)
I’m sorry to the fans who never realized this but Colbert has always been Caesar Flickerman serving the capital, and he deserved to be shut down years ago and good riddance. I would say may the odds be ever in his favor but they aren’t.
Nevertheless I will miss the times when he was earnest. He had obvious theater talent, he had on occasion made my family laugh, I still recall my favorite skits that I talk about, and I will never forget he is a massive fan of Lord of the Rings. There is some goodness somewhere inside him.
However, as often befalls the hearts of Men, his own heart was ensnared by Sauron, perhaps unwitting of the shadow that crept upon his spirit. Thus I deem it a rightful end, that Colbert should lay down his burdens and rest, and trouble the realms of Middle-earth no more with the errant ways of his good intentions. Goodbye Colbert. 👋🏻 🪦
