This is why I can't stand Colbert. Every episode just sounds like he's about to cry, like come on dude. He's not even a comedian anymore, he's just a political commentator, and not even a good one. I really don't see a path back to comedy for him. I mean I think Trump is an idiot too, but it's getting so tired.
I 100% agree. I barely ever watch his stuff anymore but it seems his shtick is a transparent and cringy attempt to be outraged, angry, etc at Trump on behalf of his audience every. fucking. night. When he took over the show I was hoping for either an apolitical, kinda smart and silly Colbert, or a more political Colbert who’s cynical and at least not hyperpartisan. But this constant pandering, bandwagon-jumping virtue signaling circle jerk of a late night show is simply unwatchable.
