“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night called CBS’s denial of his claim that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico “crap” — and urged the network and its parent, Paramount Skydance, to stand up to the “bullies” in the Trump administration.
Colbert’s broadside came hours after CBS issued a statement on the controversy.
The host, whose show will end in May as it was canceled by CBS, held up a printed copy of the network’s statement about Talarico’s interview during his show Tuesday night and said, “I don’t even know what to do with this crap.”
I have to push back on just ONE thing. Paramount isn’t being bullied. CEO is the son of Larry Ellison. Trying to not cast doubt on David but… Rich men gonna be rich assholes. If they were actually being bullied, I do believe that they’d push back harder cause it’s fucking Paramount and CBS is very well known and can very easily blast this to millions.
