Benson claims Colbert will cast himself as silenced by President Trump, using the final season\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >tributes adn farewell tone<\/a> to pivot to a new venture. He argues on Fox News that Colbert\u2019s motive isn\u2019t just political principle but also profit from a next gig marketed as a response to being silenced, with guests and content framed around a resistance narrative. trump responded by celebrating Colbert\u2019s cancellation and floated the idea that other late-night hosts coudl be next.
