Colbert called it an “insane thing” to put on social media. “If you or I put up an AI video depicting the violent arrest of a former president, we would get a free ride in a windowless van to FBI headquarters, where they would put us to work redacting Trump’s name from the Epstein file,” Colbert said. And that may not even be the worst of it.

Jon Stewart is questioning whether CBS’s decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s late-night show was purely financial. He points to Paramount’s recent $16 million settlement with Donald Trump as a sign the company may be trying to smooth a deal and stay in Trump’s good graces.
