Stephen Colbert will probably start ‘resistance’ podcast after his show ends: Guy Benson
Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson said Sunday that late-night host Stephen Colbert will portray himself as being “silenced” by President Donald Trump once his show ends.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is airing various tributes ahead of the show’s final episode on May 21. The guests’ eulogies over the past six months have drawn the attention of Variety, which said in a piece that his farewell season has gone from “resistance to ego tour.”
Colbert has been a frequent critic of Trump, and said after his show was canceled that “the gloves are off” until his show ends.
“I think the reason he’s doing all the resistance stuff isn’t just because he believes it,” Benson said on Fox News’s The Big Weekend Show, “but he has an eye to the next gig, which is he’ll have some podcast, he’ll make a ton of money doing it, and it’ll be marketed basically as, ‘I was silenced because of Trump and the undue influence on CBS, so come to the resistance with me,’ almost like a resistance duty for the audience to show up and get him paid in the new gig.”

Benson said it appears “the whole driving force” of Colbert’s show these days is hating one political party” and added that the show’s guests are “one-sided.” He said this seems “very boring” for a show.
Trump took a victory lap after the plug was pulled on Colbert’s show, saying he “absolutely” loves the cancellation. He also suggested Jimmy Kimmel Live! could be “next.”
