Nobody saw this coming — Stephen Colbert just walked away from CBS… and reappeared with a brand-new talk show alongside none other than Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
The move stunned fans, not just because Colbert left his long-running late-night perch, but because of who he chose as his first big partner. Their debut episode? A fiery, unfiltered conversation that ripped through politics, media bias, and culture — the kind of raw TV you don’t get from network executives anymore.
Halfway through, Colbert leaned in and told Crockett: “We’re not here to please the gatekeepers anymore.” The audience erupted — this wasn’t polished late-night banter… this was rebellion on prime time.
By the end, hashtags were trending worldwide: #ColbertCrockettUnleashed and #NoMoreScripts. Fans called it “the boldest move of his career” and “exactly what late-night needs right now.”
Whether you love them or hate them, you can’t ignore them — because Colbert’s new chapter just started, and it’s already rewriting the rules.
