Stephen Colbert, a veteran of the late-night scene and host of “The Late Show,” has been a staple in American television since 2015. Known for his sharp satire and incisive political commentary, Colbert has consistently attracted viewers with his critiques of conservative politics and his embrace of progressive ideals. His show has been a platform for discussing social justice issues, often aligning with “woke” ideologies that advocate for awareness and action on matters like racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, and climate change.
While Colbert has enjoyed significant success, especially during the Trump administration, his overtly political stance has occasionally polarized audiences. Critics argue that his focus on progressive topics can alienate viewers who feel oversaturated with political correctness and prefer entertainment that doesn’t engage as heavily in ideological debates.
