And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top. They went after The View because I went on there. They went after Jimmy Kimmel for telling a joke they didn't like."
"Just to fact-check you, my network said our cancellation was a purely financial decision. They went after you for telling the truth about Paramount's bribe to Donald Trump.

CBS reportedly forced producers to pull a pre-taped interview between Stephen Colbert and Texas state lawmaker James Talarico from the television broadcast, prompting The Late Show to upload the segment to its YouTube channel after the broadcast. Colbert revealed the network's demand on-air and said the action followed FCC chair Brendan Carr's warnings about the equal-time rule; Colbert said he was barred from saying Talarico's name, showing an image, or providing a QR link. The interview addressed the removal directly, with Talarico criticizing Republican and MAGA tactics, accusing corporate media of undermining the First Amendment, and the pair discussing his Texas upbringing, senate campaign, and Christian faith.
