IMO, Colbert is in big trouble. I assume he will be dumped soon.

[CK_John]

We will see.

1. Care to elaborate?

On edit: went and looked around, saw #firecolbert effort. lolz

So you aren't a fan of Colbert then? Seems to me that it is only the wingers who share your view.

[angstlessk]

2. For what, pray-tell?

[Sculpin Beauregard]

3. Why do you think that? It's really naive to think CBS wasn't aware of his 'rant' ahead of time.

[Princess Turandot]

6. Correct. The show tapes at 5PM, except for Thursdays..

when they tape two shows, at 2:30 and then at 5PM. (I assume that he takes 3 day weekends.)

Also, when Letterman had the show, the associate producer was there on the set whilst it was taping.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

4. So that means he's safe. Cool. Good to know. nt

[tammywammy]

23. Heh, exactly what I was thinking.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. because? he was brilliant. he set a standard for what everyone should be doing.

[ClusterFreak]

10. And good on him!

For bitch slapping the ever living fuck out of Trump, and for deigning to introduce the term "C*ck Holster" into our common vernacular. Well, just how common remains to be seen lol.

[sarcasmo]

7. Ha.

[doc03]

8. What was this joke he told? All I know is Fox said

he made some kind of vulgar joke. Just how could anything be vulgar after what Trump has said?
I found it, sure looks like it should be there. His mouth looks like a bottom feeding carp.

[WePurrsevere]

15. Here's the thread and video on DU if you've missed it.

Colbert was pissed as heck at Trump for the a-hole comment he made to Dickerson on the air.

20. Colbert: "In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putins cock holster."

9. I hightly doubt that

They aren't going to dump the top-rated late night show because some wingnuts are throwing a tantrum. Just like the aren't going to fire John Dickerson because he made Donny Doll hands walk away from his interview in a snit. I hope they give the both of them a raise.

[rzemanfl]

26. I am stealing "Donny doll hands." We live in a kleptocracy, so you shouldn't be surprised.

I will reconsider if you PM me your copyright.

[GoCubsGo]

28. Well, I stole it from somebody else.

So, have at it!

[Stinky The Clown]

11. If you predict catastrophe after catastrophe after catastrophe, you will eventually be right.

[Dem2]

19. Isn't that what rump does?

Fails over and over again. Lies over and over again. Predicts Armageddon over and over again. If he's right 10% of the time, he tells the world he's a genius.

[Pisces]

12. He's in zero trouble! Just the right wing hoping to bring him down because he's devastating to Trump

[yuiyoshida]

13. It sure would be nice to have a link or something ..video..

found it...

[Skittles]

14. YOU WISH

[smirkymonkey]

16. Ridiculous!

He made a joke. A pretty good one as far as I'm concerned.

[GoCubsGo]

30. Well, if he was a republican, and he bragged about grabbing womens' genitals,

they would just write it off as "locker room talk." IOIYAAR.

[Demonaut]

44. a alabama republican?, arkansas, alaska?

[AngryAmish]

17. Only if cockholster is not considered a normative insult.

Like if one describes the Obama daughters.

On edit:. I do not recommend such language for the girls. It is not fair.

[MagickMuffin]

18. NOT Gonna Happen

No way no how!!!

[Goodheart]

21. I have vowed to watch him MORE!

[JI7]

22. I'm sure you hope so

[jpak]

24. Ahem

[Demonaut]

43. I lost it at the twopence

[Starry Messenger]

25. You are always wrong, so I assume nothing will happen

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. DU's very own Bill Kristol.

[blue cat]

27. ❄️ going to be ❄️

That pissing and moaning about having to be PC about the president is hogwash, whatever that is.

[Initech]

37. Yeah the Trump supporters can dish it out, but they can't take it!

Their "boycotts" are meaningless. They've staged 20 since the election, and none of them have done anything. This is just another to add to the list.

[left-of-center2012]

29. "Colbert is in big trouble"

Did it come to you in a dream?

[kimbutgar]

31. His ratings will go up

Those who are pro chump never watched him in the first place. The Reich wing snowflakes dumped all over Obama but can't take it back. What wimps!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

32. I wouldn't have used those word but it is far...far...far... from a fireable offense.

[Hoyt]

33. I didn't care much for his show before Nov. 8th. But he has been on fire since, and great.

[LeftyMom]

34. Your prognostications are one of my favorite things about DU.

They're no moon bombing, but they're fun.

[jls4561]

35. I am somewhat worried that a gop might try to bash Koko the gorilla on the head

just to see if she is still more articulate that the squatter in the White House.

Yeah, she would be.

Other than that, what did Colbert say that was offensive or inaccurate?

[Initech]

36. He's the highest rated show in late night.

Why would CBS cancel him now? Because some fucking uptight Trump supporters got their underwear in a wad over a monologue joke? Shit, we have no voice anymore. Let us at least have Colbert!

[still_one]

38. His ratings are great, he isn't going anywhere

[MattP]

39. He is so mucb better than he was after the first couple months

I love Colbert and Kimmel and Myers i catch the monologues almost every day

[BannonsLiver]

41. $$$$$$, not a chance

Nor should it.

[Demonaut]

42. HE AUDIENCE SIZE JUST DOUBLED

looked better in caps

[Coventina]

45. I'll hold my breath.....
