The sad decline of Colbert
4 February 2022
Steven Colbert rose to fame doing a great character on "The Colbert Show." He played a parody version of a far-right republican, but did a great job of straddling the line and making fun of the left and right. In his newest show, The Late Show with Steven Colbert, he has replaced all that nuance and deep thought. Everything that made Colbert funny no longer exists, and is in stead replaced by cringe dancing needles, Spotify hate, and basically trying to take CNN's messaging and make it funny (unsuccessfully). Like SNL, they decided to cater to the very fringe alt-left sect of our society.

In stead of finding things that are funny and presenting them in an even funnier way, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert starts with talking points and ideas that they would like to spread, and try to make it funny. This is like performing a scientific experiment by starting with the conclusion and using that conclusion that you want to develop your hypothesis.
