‘Looks like bribery’: Senator sees right through the suspicious timing of Stephen Colbert’s exist after CBS paid Trump millions

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show has been canceled, and Senator Elizabeth Warren was among many Democratic representatives who took to X to demand answers from Paramount on whether this was politically motivated, calling the settlement they made “a deal that looks like bribery.”

Per multiple sources, Stephen Colbert’s situation had been in jeopardy for a while, but the timing — which he ultimately chose — made everything much worse than it could have been. First of all, The Late Show was a format created and cultivated over decades by the legendary David Letterman, and when it came time for his retirement, Stephen Colbert was chosen as the ultimate successor.
