Stephen Colbert Revives Right-Wing Alter Ego to Rip Donald Trump on Free Speech

Stephen Colbert resurrected his conservative alter ego to make a pointed comment on the Jimmy Kimmel vs. MAGA saga.

On Thursday’s episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host started by joking, “We still on the air? Fantastic. Apparently, Brendan Carr has not seen tonight’s episode yet.”

It was Carr, the Trump-appointed FCC chair, who bullied ABC into cancelling Kimmel’s late-night talk show on Wednesday after jokes about Donald Trump’s reaction to the death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk,.

Declaring talk show hosts as among “America’s most vulnerable”, Colbert then introduced CBS’s new ombudsman—his MAGA-friendly identical twin cousin, also named Stephen Colbert.

He even wore the glasses he wore 10 years ago. I was in my kitchen and had to stop what I was doing since I was laughing so hard.
