      葆 葆 Great job, Stephen. Great writing and intelligent satire that apparently goes over most people's heads considering the audience's rating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Bill H He is overly angry, constantly interrupts his guests, seems to think it's all about him and is no longer funny. The Colbert Report is surely missed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/20 Full Review Audience Member I have stopped watching the show. I am completely against the homophobic remarks made by Stephen Colbert during his show. This sort of behavior creates a level of acceptance for others to think and act in the same way. He was with his inherent homophobic mindset trying to insult the president of the United States by saying, "The only thing your ***** is good for is being Vladimir Putin's **** holster". Everyone laughed and cheered in the audience. Using the idea of homosexuality as a way to demean another person is truly disgusting and abhorrent. I am amazed that CBS stands behind and embraces such comments and thinking, and that they deem it to be consistent with their values as a corporation. Because I disagree with the CBS Corporation, I have not joined CBS All Access and I will not watch any CBS programming. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is hot garbage. The host is not funny he is annoying. The skits are all negative anti-trump. he is so holier than thou that she will not cover the issues on her show impartially.
