The liberal meltdown over Stephen Colbert getting canceled just hit a new low. A pathetic rally in New York City to “save” the woke late-night host drew a whopping 20 people. That’s not a typo – just 20 people in a city of over 8 million showed up to defend their hero.
The so-called “We’re With Colbert” protest outside CBS studios was over before it started. Most of the handful of protesters left within minutes when they realized nobody cared about their cause. Even in the most liberal city in America, they couldn’t find more than two dozen people willing to waste their Sunday on this nonsense.
The organizer, some guy who only gave his name as “Matt,” had the nerve to claim Trump was attacking the First Amendment. This is rich coming from supporters of a show that spent years spewing hate at conservatives and Trump supporters. Colbert’s program featured 176 liberal guests versus just one Republican between 2022 and 2025, but somehow they’re the victims here.
CBS made a smart business decision to cancel Colbert’s failing show in May 2026. The network cited falling viewership and declining profits as the reason. When your show stops making money because Americans are tired of your political attacks, that’s called capitalism working exactly as it should.
The timing tells the whole story here. CBS just completed an 8.4 billion dollar merger with Skydance Media that needed federal approval. The network also recently settled a lawsuit with Trump over their dishonest editing of a Kamala Harris interview. Smart executives know when to cut their losses and move on.
Liberal celebrities like Jimmy Fallon and Jon Stewart rushed to defend their buddy Colbert with typical Hollywood drama. They delivered a petition with 250,000 signatures to try to save the show. But petition signatures from coastal elites don’t pay the bills when regular Americans stop watching your anti-conservative propaganda.
The contrast couldn’t be clearer between the celebrity support and actual public interest. While famous liberals made a big show of standing with Colbert, ordinary New Yorkers couldn’t be bothered to spend five minutes at a rally for him. Even his most devoted fans in the bluest city in America gave him the cold shoulder.
This embarrassing rally perfectly captures why liberal media keeps failing. They live in a bubble where they think their political attacks represent what Americans want to see. But when push comes to shove, even their own supporters won’t show up to defend them because deep down, they know these shows have become unwatchable partisan hit jobs.
