A small rally in New York City in support of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show drew fewer than two dozen people, with organizers claiming it was part of a nationwide call for integrity. Critics argue CBS ended the show due to declining viewership and pressure from President Trump. Matt Gagnon criticized the show’s lack of humor and political bias, suggesting it might have been saved by its politics. He contrasted Colbert’s ratings with Jay Leno’s, noting Leno’s balanced political humor. Leno, in an interview, emphasized the importance of appealing to a broad audience through humor rather than political alignment.
