Stephen Colbert lamented losing 'six weeks of delicious content,' while 'The Daily Show' guest host Jordan Klepper took aim at Fox News' anchors and Jimmy Kimmel called out Dominion: 'We naively thought this was about making Fox News take responsibility.'
, host and comedian Stephen Colbert made addressing that first on his list of settlement news. “Damnit! I want my trials. I want it,” he told the audience as they laughed. “You were supposed to provide me six weeks of delicious content. I wanted to see Rupert Murdoch put his hand on the Bible and burst into flames.”
As the crowd booed, Colbert joined in. “What they said. Boo, boo, sir. Boo, I say,” he responded. “I guess it’s satisfying for Dominion that Ruppy had to fork over a pile of cash, but that does nothing for our democracy. What we need is Fox News personalities to look straight into the camera, admit that they lied over and over again about the 2020 election and then hurl themselves into Mt. Doom.”
Amid his takedown of the news, Kimmel also shared his stance that “America had a worse day than Fox News today” and ultimately took aim at Dominion after admitting that “obviously Fox is the main villain here.” Kimmel also took a couple shots at the Fox’s advertising revenue — “it’s going to take a lot of reverse mortgage ads to pay that one off” — and specifically anchor Maria Bartiromo for “providing Dominion with so much evidence.”
