Stephen Colbert emptied his bladder all over Paramount with a stream of pee-related jokes, tearing into the network for cancelling his show and bowing to President Donald Trump to get an $8.6 billion merger with Skydance Media approved.
In one of his standard TruthSocial rants, President Donald Trump complained Tuesday that he was getting blamed for Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” cancellation ― even though he once explicitly called for CBS to “terminate” the host.
Actress Sandra Oh cursed CBS and Paramount networks over Stephen Colbert's show cancellation, citing concerns about culture and free speech during her guest appearance.
CBS said the cancellation wasn't related to "content or other matters happening at Paramount." Paramount controversially agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Sandra Oh criticized CBS and Paramount during her appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on July 21 after its cancellation was announced. The network said it was "a financial decision," but the news came days after Colbert criticized Paramount for its $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump.
“Given Paramount’s recent capitulation to President Trump in the CBS News lawsuit, the Writers Guild of America has significant concerns that The Late Show’s cancelation is a bribe, sacrificing free speech to curry favor with the Trump Administration as the company looks for merger approval,” it noted (see full statement below).
