Less Than a Week off the Air and Colbert’s Already Trolling Trump’s $16M Bribe With a Public Access TV Stunt

Stephen Colbert’s already back on screen, and this time, he’s trolling the $16 million bribe that got his show canceled. Less than a week after his final episode of The Late Show aired, Colbert quietly launched a new YouTube channel over the weekend. The debut video, Only In Monroe on May 22, 2026, dropped with zero fanfare but quickly racked up over 120,000 subscribers, according to The Guardian.
