A whopping 20 protesters showed up outside CBS’s Broadcast Center on Sunday, July 27 in New York City for a few minutes to protest the cancellation of The Late Show and defend Stephen Colbert – who’s leaving in May 2026.
According to Townhall, the “We’re With Colbert Rally” was a complete bust – much like Colbert’s ratings. You’d probably get a bigger crowd offering complimentary prune juice samples at a nursing home.
JUST IN: Stephen Colbert has accused CBS of *FIRING* him because the network surrendered to Trump.
He has called on New Yorkers to join him in protesting CBS.
A truly massive crowd showed up. 🤣pic.twitter.com/tKEN0q9LR3

Ironically, about half the protesters wore face masks. Hiding their faces while supposedly standing up for free speech? Nothing says “bold resistance” like mumbling through an N95 mask.
