"BIG FAT BRIBE!" Stephen Colbert signs off after Ellison-Trump CONTROVERSY - Clock It - MS NOW
Stephen Colbert says goodbye to “The Late Show” and he’s not going quietly. The decision to cancel the show came after Colbert called Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump a “big fat bribe.” Eugene and Symone talk about how “insane” it is, and what this means for political speech.
They also talk about Trump’s $1.766 billion slush fund that could go to pay January 6th convicts and a new immigration controversy. The great Michael Eric Dyson joins the group chat and he has a bone to pick with Kendrick Lamar.
They also talk about the shadow of white supremacy, and the ways the Black community’s contributions to American society continue to be simultaneously disrespected and appropriated. - 05/21/2026.
