To CBS and Paramount Executives :

Criticism and satire are vital pillars of our democracy. Stephen Colbert’s voice brings sharp insight and humor to our national debate — and it must be preserved. We urge you to keep The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the air.

Don’t cancel Colbert!
So… CBS has canceled The Late Show.

Or as Stephen might say: “Preemptively silenced for excessive levels of truth, satire, and devastating impressions of authoritarian hairdos.”

And sure, CBS says it’s just “purely a financial decision.” But let’s connect a few dots: Just days before the ax dropped, Colbert roasted CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit with Donald Trump.

Here’s the truth: satire isn’t just a laugh, it’s a weapon. And when humor dares to hold a mirror to injustice, authoritarianism, and weird haircuts… someone always tries to smash the mirror.

So, here’s what we’re doing: We’re demanding that CBS explain whether canceling Colbert was really just about dollars, or if it was about dodging uncomfortable truths.

Sign and share this campaign with everyone who believes in fearless, funny truth-telling.
