It only took 11 years, but late-night liberal comedian Stephen Colbert finally discovered humor.
During Thursday night’s franchise finale of CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joined Colbert for a skit that poked fun at the host while also acknowledging the late-night dominance of comedian Greg Gutfeld, host of Fox News’ “Gutfeld!”
“You see the fabric of the universe is underpinned by an immutable set of physical laws,” Tyson said in a clip posted to the social media platform X.
The astrophysicist then took a subtle jab at CBS forcancelling the showdespite Colbert’s relatively strong ratings. According to a report from July 2025, notwithstanding those ratings, Colbert’s show cost the network $40 million annually.
“Two contradictory realities cannot coexist without rupturing the space-time continuum,” Tyson added.
“Well, for instance, if a show is number one on late night, and it also gets cancelled,” the scientist replied.
At that point, it appeared as if Colbert used the skit to express sour grapes over his show’s cancellation.
The punchline, however, more than justified the setup.
“They cancelled ‘Gutfeld!‘?!?” an alarmed and indignant-sounding Colbert replied.
In his final show, Stephen Colbert admits he was, in fact, getting trounced in the ratings by@greggutfeld.
