"Our Cartoon President" is based off a recurring segment of Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." A workplace comedy in which the room is oval takes a look at the 45th president, his confidants, and his family members. The cartoon-president opens the doors to the White House for an all-access look at a normal day in the life of the president. Nothing is safe in this comedy, including relationships, confidants, key political figures of both parties, and even the media.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sugar-coated satire, Our Cartoon President wavers between scathing social criticism and softball slings in a way that's as unsatisfying as it is uncomfortable.

Hank Stuever Washington Post The show quickly figured out the difference between vicious and vital satire, with especially good sendups of Cabinet members (many of whom are still serving!), the Fox News echo chamber and the MSNBC mortification machine. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Unless the series quickly develops real teeth it will do Trump & Co an unintended service by giving them a folksy makeover that lets them slide on pretty much everything. That would be ... well ... sad. Mar 29, 2018 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com Sadly the only major accomplishment of "Our Cartoon President" is to remind us that at some point, every joke ceases to be funny. Mar 27, 2018 Full Review Jack Pooley What Culture No matter how much you might despise Trump, this really feels like it's preaching to the converted without any imagination whatsoever. Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Michael Storey Arkansas Democrat-Gazette There is not one ounce of ambiguity in Our Cartoon President. Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Silly presidential satire has mature language, decent jokes. Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The animation is a mixed bag. Sometimes, it looks great, and sometimes, it looks a tad bit poor. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member HORRIBLE!! Colbert is not even that good Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic satire of our current political climate. A good laugh. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member trash..... not even funny. i dont like Trumpo but this is just Leftest Hippocrates are their best . Stay away and man i hope it gets cancels soon. the ratings are shit. Colbert as a comedian back in the day was fuuny but now hes just a joke and not in the funny way Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome show! I don't think the reviews are accurate. I think rotten tomatoes must be owned by Republicans! I can understand why a Republican would hate this show but it's really funny and scary l shockingly accurate. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This show is FUNNY! The cartoonists capture the individual���s expressions so well. And that ending theme song is sung with such talent and conviction, it reminds me how scary it is to have Trump as our president while still making me laugh. So glad for this show because it reminds me that there are other people out there and gives me relief that I am not alone in my despair and desire to have a reasonable person as a president.
