Kennedy intends to replace mRNA vaccines with safer, broader vaccine strategies and cut meaningful funding. Colbert&#8217;s crude joke, met with cheers from the audience, reflects the decline of his show into politically charged rants heavily favoring left-wing views and mainstream narratives. the piece highlights moments where Colbert appeared uncomfortable or biased, suggesting he has been a mouthpiece for big pharma, government, and mainstream media. With his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-full-frontal-fall-of-samantha-bee\/\" title=\"The Full Frontal Fall Of Samantha Bee\">show ending<\/a>, Colbert will transition to a role portraying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-crashes-viewers-cut-in-half-in-3-weeks-cnn-beats-fox-in-daytime-viewers-msnbc-beats-fox-in-every-prime-time-slot-but-tucker\/\" title=\"FOX NEWS CRASHES!

If Colbert wanted to counter or mock RFK Jr. for the sake of comedy, he should have come up with some better jokes.<\/p>\n<p>Yet this poor performance is indicative of why he&rsquo;s being cancelled in the first place. His show had devolved into a personal political rant almost every night.<\/p>\n<p>Far-left celebrity guests would spit out Democratic talking points, and any time the narrative was challenged, you could see genuine fear in Colbert&rsquo;s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>There was the shocking moment when his friend and mentor Jon Stewart tried to explain how COVID originated from a lab in Wuhan, China, and Colbert interrupted him by saying, &ldquo;We have to take a brief break, Jon.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>How about the time he called CNN &ldquo;objective&rdquo; while interviewing host Kaitlan Collins and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YGR2jWfa5gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audience burst out laughing<\/a>? The unexpected response caused him to trip over his words as he bumbled through the rest of the segment.<\/p>\n<p>And who could forget when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V1pLwSoC9hA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nervously cut off<\/a> actress Claire Danes from talking about the intel community &ldquo;allying itself with journalists.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Final verdict: He&rsquo;s a shill for big pharma, big government, and the mainstream media. Or at least he was a shill. Now he&rsquo;ll be relegated to the bench as a backup player.<\/p>\n<p>Yet his finest hour came when he decided &mdash; or was forced &mdash; to do a skit where he danced around grown men dressed as needles, telling his audience to get vaccinated back in 2021.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hey, remember the &ldquo;Vax Scene&rdquo; from Colbert&rsquo;s show? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sBuH7zPD2m\">pic.twitter.com\/sBuH7zPD2m<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Catch Up (@CatchUpFeed) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CatchUpFeed\/status\/1946243037350277237?\">July 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Colbert is the last person anyone should listen to when it comes to science or anything of actual importance.<\/p>\n<p>Odds are, his responses have been crafted and vetted by more powerful people before he even opens his mouth.<\/p>\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/stephen-colbert-lands-new-gig-pretending-old-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new gig<\/a> will be portraying a fake news anchor, while he basically plays a caricature of himself on the CBS mystery series &ldquo;Elsbeth.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This is much more fitting for someone of Colbert&rsquo;s stature, and in the end, he won&rsquo;t have to change a thing.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
