In a spectacular meltdown, Jon Stewart’s latest antics bring to light everything wrong with late-night television. Instead of responding thoughtfully to the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, Stewart spiraled into an embarrassing performance, dancing along to a crude gospel-themed tirade. Liberals are quick to blame anyone but themselves, pointing fingers at President Trump rather than owning up to their dwindling audience. Their flailing is not entertaining; it’s just plain sad.
Despite the mainstream media’s loud protests, the reality is glaring and undeniable. Colbert’s show, which some on the left claim is a victim of political pressure, was in fact a financial disaster. CBS sank hundreds of millions annually into a show losing $40 million each year. For a program in the number one spot, that’s a colossal failure. It’s less about censorship and more about economics—they simply couldn’t continue bleeding cash like this.
Stewart and others cling to a narrative of censorship as if they’re the last bastion of free speech. Yet, their message is stale and disconnected from reality. This goes beyond Colbert; it’s a symptom of a larger issue where liberal entertainers forget how to entertain. They’ve traded real humor for overt politicking, and the audience is starting to notice.

This scenario mirrors the broader picture of the Democratic Party’s failures in elections. Excessive spending without offering what voters truly want is a recipe for disaster. Just as with Colbert, they’re losing because they’ve forsaken substance for shallow sound bites and empty gestures.
These so-called champions of free speech resort to shouting obscenities, mistaking this for cleverness. But who wants to listen to that? The collapse of late-night comedy isn’t just looming; it’s already here. Perhaps they should look in the mirror and ask themselves: who’s really to blame for their downfall?
