Stephen Colbert Says CBS's Statement is Dog Crap Stephen Colbert responded to CBS' dog crap statement about his canceled interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico over concerns about the FCC's equal-time rule.

After CBS released a statement without Stephen Colbert's knowledge denying that it had pulled an interview with Texas Democratic James Talarico from his show, Colbert responded by crumpling up the statement and treating it like dog crap.

Alfred "Al" Delvecchio was a main character on the ABC-TV series Happy Days. The part of Al was played on the series by Al Molinaro.Hello dear reader! Did you know alt text helps people who are blind, have low vision, or struggle to interpret images access essential meaning when visuals aren’t usable? Also, it’s great for jokes! I know full well who the person is in the photo, and that I've added the bio of a different person entirely. It's a gag about people having a vaguely similar name, which I can mix up in a comedic way. Some people hate these, but I hope you enjoy it!

James Talarico is a Texas Democratic state representative and U.S. Senate candidate who gained national attention after CBS blocked his planned Late Show interview, prompting Stephen Colbert to release it directly to YouTube, where it quickly went viral

Now all the candidates will ask CBS to bump them from Colbert.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

The ‘Streisand effect' strikes again. The Late Show interview with James Talarico, which CBS kept from airing fearing the FCC, has 5.4 million views on YouTube. On a typical night about 2 million people tune in to watch Stephen Colbert. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

CBS lawyers tried to silence Stephen Colbert. He posted the interview on YouTube anyway.

Steven Miller’s grandparents! Wikipedia:“(SM’s) . . . ancestor(s) . . . emigrated to the US. (fleeing) ’03–‘06 anti-Jewish pogroms . . . in . . . Russian Empire.When his great-grandmother arrived in ’06, she spoke only Yiddish . . . when they reached Ellis Is. they (knew) no English.”
Wake up,ppl!

Also Miller’s intolerance is blind to the fact that his fellow travelers see him as Jewish and out if they had their way. He is delusional, hateful, ignorant, and self-sabotaging. Not commenting on your disagreement (and I love James). Just dismayed.

It’s not “dunking” to point out that racial hierarchies are fluid and that present racists conveniently ignore the racial judgments of prior generations of racists as they attempt to appeal to now-white members of the former underclass

A reminder that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra’s parents emigrated here during a period when Italians were considered to be a genetically inferior and criminal-minded underclass that Stephen Miller’s racist predecessors said should be excluded from America

Notice that he doesn’t want any immigrants from the third world. We ALL know what he is saying. Martin and Sinatra are fine.

I didn’t see the segment but I read the transcript and IMHO there was nothing you said that was not factual. We’ve seen too many assassinations in this country and too much hate speech. I appreciated your voice and point of view on MSNBC but as usual networks run from unfiltered opinions.

You were spot on with your comments. I never heard you being disrespectful. I choose not to make Kirk or others like him relevant in my life because I believe he was wrong about everything. That does not mean I wished him dead. Speak your truth. Shame on MSNBC. I will get news elsewhere.

Sorry Matthew, but you were right to decry Charlie Kirk's vitriol against the left. We all know how he praised David DePape, who cracked Paul Pelosi's skull. People like Kirk incite these bots to act, and are we forbidden to say the truth like you just did on live TV?
You should not apologize.

@MSNBC HOW wrong to fire Matthew. Are we now going to pretend Kirk didn’t say horrible things? So now commentators don’t have free speech? Total crap, @MSNBC.

Matthew, you have and continue to be one of the most thoughtful and rational voices to grace the airwaves and social media. Your words were not malicious, but simply truth. God bless you.

Mr. Down you have reason to be apologetic. I have been disturbed by the “sanitizing” of who Charlie Kirk was.

Obviously we don’t wish him to be murdered, but just because he was doesn’t wipe away all the horrible things he has said.

I’m sorry to hear MSNBC fired you for stating a fact. You seem to be a genuinely good human and didn’t deserve it.
I, for one, understand what ment. Shame on them!
