A look back at comedian Stephen Colbert's career shows just how far he's fallen.
Central exposed the self-important stooges who operated the machinations of government and media. And it was funny as hell, from the eagle’s cry at the beginning of the intro to the rippling American flag graphics to Colbert’s pretentious lift of the brow.
“The thing is,” veteran late-night writer Mike Barry said, “he’s not buffoonish in any way. He’s not a comical figure.” But it quickly became clear that Colbert was a likable, witty, and thoroughly ordinary late-night liberal whose material was qualitatively indistinguishable from other hosts of the genre. Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Trevor Noah, Stewart’s replacement on, all basically filled the same cultural lane as middle-aged guys in suits pandering to the cultural elite and punching down on the concerns of working-class America.
