Tuesday, May 9 is going to be a big night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. That's because the host and former Daily Show correspondent is planning a reunion of sorts with his former Comedy Central colleagues. Among those scheduled to appear are Jon Stewart, Last Week Tonight's John Oliver and Full Frontal's Samantha Bee, along with Ed Helms and Rob Corddry. The major show of force comes amidst both a ratings battle with Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show and conservative calls for CBS to #FireColbert for making what has been perceived as a homophobic joke about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

It didn't strike me that way...struck me as just a more graphic way to say he does Putin's bidding.

don't know how to distinguish homophobic remarks from ones that aren't. I just asked the question because I wanted to see if I was missing something.

I didn't see it as homophobic. Just stating an observation doesn't make one a homophobe.
However, the reich-wing are constantly being homophobic. They even pass laws to show just how homophobic they are.

all the time. They are the sex police who want to outlaw most sexual practices that they also think about all the time.
Colbert's bit was spot on! Go Colbert!
