BREAKING: “If CBS Had Known… They Never Would Have Let Colbert Go” — Stephen Colbert and Jasmine Crockett’s Unlikely Alliance Is Turning Late-Night Upside Down
When CBS executives quietly parted ways with Stephen Colbert, they thought they were cutting loose a man whose best days were already behind him. They believed they were betting on a “safer” future, cleaner laughs, and an end to the unpredictability that Colbert’s critics claimed had worn thin.
But they didn’t see this coming.
Colbert, instead of retreating into obscurity or clinging to nostalgia, struck back in the most unexpected way possible: teaming up with Rep. Jasmine Crockett, one of Washington’s most unflinching political voices. Together, they’ve created a late-night cocktail so potent that it’s not just entertaining — it’s rewriting the entire rulebook of modern television.
And now, behind closed doors, CBS insiders are whispering the same bitter truth:
“If we had known what Colbert and Crockett were about to unleash, we never would have let him go.”
