‘Daily Show’ co-creator weighs in on Colbert show cancellation: This is a ‘warning shot’ CBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert after hitting a ten-year ratings high this year. This just days after Colbert blasted the network’s $16-million dollar settlement with the Trump administration, which he characterized as a “big fat bribe.” Now that parent company Paramount Global’s $8-billion dollar merger with Skydance has been greenlit by Trump's FCC, many are asking if the decision to cancel was purely a financial one. Daily Show Co-Creator, Lizz Winstead says "to just drop the franchise itself...that says to me we're afraid."

The landscape of late-night television is changing with the cancellation of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Daily Show Co-Creator, @lizzwinstead.bsky.social, argues that sharp political comedy is needed more than ever. “Now it's on us. It's harder, but it's important." #Velshi

We cannot sit this one out: protest and dissent are in America’s DNA What makes America unique is not just that we hold elections-- plenty of nations do. What has made America exceptional, when we live up to it, is our origin story: rebellion against tyranny. That maverick spirit is embedded in our national DNA. At the core of the American idea is a simple but revolutionary belief--- one that kings and tyrants throughout history have tried to crush: that anyone, no matter their name, birth, or background, can rise above their circumstances. That’s the promise. That’s the American ethos. And although our moral compass has had to be recalibrated again and again since this nation's inception to actually extend that promise to all Americans, it’s why people across the globe continue to risk everything to reach our shores.

We cannot sit this one out: protest and dissent are embedded in America’s DNA. But it doesn’t always have to look the same.
