n Sunday morning, the TV personality took to X to say that most late-night hosts have become nothing more than “hyper-partisan activist hacks” for the Left and that it’s really “no wonder” why Stephen Colbert got the boot. He also shared a New York Post cover that read, “No wonder he was canned, ‘The Left Show With Stephen Colbert.’”

“This is so damning,” Morgan wrote. “Most of America’s biggest late-night hosts have become nothing more than hyper-partisan activist hacks for the Democrats – a party that’s rarely been more unpopular. No wonder Colbert got canned. More will follow.”

Morgan is not the only television authority to speak out on Colbert’s cancellation. Also on Sunday, former “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno said late-night frontmen too often alienate part of their audience by “cozying up” to one political party.

“I love political humor, don’t get me wrong. But it’s just what happens when people wind up cozying too much to one side or the other.” Leno said in an interview with David Trulio, president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. “Why shoot for just half an audience all the time? You know, why not try to get the whole. I mean, I like to bring people into the big picture.”

It was announced on July 17 that the entire “Late Show,” not just Colbert’s iteration, would come to a close after the next TV season. CBS cited the move as a “financial decision,” but some have wondered if it was to appease Donald Trump’s FCC amid a pending merger between CBS’ parent company, Paramount, and Skydance.
