Piers Morgan DESTROYS Stephen Colbert After Late-Night Axing: “No Wonder He Got Canned!”

Jay Leno Joins Firestorm as CBS Faces Accusations of “Cowardice” and Political Pandering

Welcome to the beginning of the end for woke late-night TV. And the man lighting the match? None other than Piers Morgan.

LOS ANGELES, CA – In a moment that sent shockwaves through the media world, British firebrand Piers Morgan has unleashed a scorched-earth tirade against Stephen Colbert — and the entire late-night establishment — after the shocking announcement that The Late Show will be officially shut down next season. His message? “No wonder Colbert got canned. He turned comedy into a partisan weapon.“

And just like that, the late-night echo chamber is crumbling.

 Morgan Doesn’t Hold Back: “Activist Hacks for the Democrats”

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday morning, Morgan eviscerated what he called the “hyper-partisan activist hacks” dominating America’s once-great comedy institutions.

“This is so damning,” Morgan wrote. “Most of America’s biggest late-night hosts have become nothing more than mouthpieces for the Democrats – a party that’s rarely been more unpopular. No wonder Colbert got canned. More will follow.”

Accompanying his post? A blistering New York Post front page mocking Colbert’s show as “The Left Show,” a searing indictment of how far late-night comedy has strayed from its roots.

And Morgan isn’t alone.

 Jay Leno Adds Fuel to the Fire

Enter Jay Leno, a name synonymous with late-night royalty and a man known for walking the middle of the road. But even Leno couldn’t stay silent this time.

In a Sunday interview with Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation president David Trulio, Leno offered a quiet but unmistakable rebuke of the new breed of hosts:

“I love political humor, don’t get me wrong,” Leno said. “But when you cozy up too much to one side, you’re cutting your audience in half. Why do that? Why not try to bring everyone in?”

Translation? Colbert — and his peers — dug their own grave.

Comedy or Propaganda? The Colbert Question

Since Donald Trump’s presidency, Colbert’s tone shifted from satirical to savage. Every night became a monologue not of laughs, but lectures — pointed jabs at Republicans, Fox News, conservatives, and anyone who didn’t toe the progressive line.

While this won him Emmys and applause from elite media circles, the ratings told a different story.

As public trust in mainstream institutions plummeted and Americans grew weary of the constant political barrage, Colbert’s brand of comedy felt less like Johnny Carson — and more like MSNBC with punchlines.

And now? He’s out.

But was it just about ratings and finances?

 Behind the Curtain: Trump’s FCC and the Skydance Deal

CBS claimed the decision to end The Late Show was purely “financial.” But few in the know are buying it.

Industry insiders are pointing fingers at a potentially explosive deal: the pending Paramount–Skydance merger, currently under review by a very different FCC, now led by Trump-appointed officials.

“There’s real pressure behind the scenes,” a former CBS executive (speaking under anonymity) told Variety. “Cutting Colbert might’ve been a necessary olive branch — a strategic move to push the merger through.”

In other words: Colbert’s cancellation wasn’t just business. It may have been political survival. David Letterman Drops the Bomb: “Pure Cowardice!”

Adding another twist to the saga, David Letterman — Colbert’s predecessor and late-night titan — blasted CBS over the decision.

In a surprising outburst, Letterman called the cancellation “pure cowardice,” signaling that even insiders are divided on the network’s motives.

“It’s gutless,” Letterman reportedly said. “We’re watching executives panic, and instead of supporting talent, they throw them under the bus.”

The irony? Colbert was chosen by Letterman himself.

 Is This the Death of Late Night?

With the Colbert implosion now public, critics are asking: Is late-night TV even relevant anymore?

The answer, if you ask Piers Morgan, is a loud and unapologetic no.

“It’s done,” he said on his YouTube show. “They turned it into a woke therapy session — and the audience walked away. Comedy’s job isn’t to campaign for the Democrats. It’s to make people laugh. And they forgot that.”

And he’s right. While Colbert pandered to coastal elites, audiences turned to podcasts, YouTube, TikTok — anywhere that wasn’t filtered through the lens of political correctness.

Even Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel, once rivals, now face dwindling viewership and similar accusations of leaning too far left.

Could Piers Morgan be the one who finally pulled the curtain back? What Comes Next?

For now, Colbert remains under contract until next season. But there are whispers that he might walk earlier. CBS, already bleeding viewers, faces internal chaos. Producers are scrambling. Morale is in free fall.

Rumors swirl about replacements — with names like Trevor Noah, John Mulaney, and even a rotating panel format being floated.

But the bigger question: Does anyone even want this job anymore?

The age of safe, family-friendly, broad-appeal late-night is over. And the age of political echo-chamber TV might be dying with it.

As Morgan put it, “The audience is smarter than Hollywood thinks. They’re tuning out — and finally, someone got fired for it.”

 Final Thought:

The fall of Stephen Colbert isn’t just a TV story. It’s a cultural earthquake.
It’s a rejection of partisan comedy. A reckoning for media elites. And maybe — just maybe — the first step toward something better.

Or as Piers Morgan would say:

“Good riddance.”
