What We Think

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is a highly woke talk show. Its blend of narrative priorities, frequent dismissal of traditional values, and strongly progressive monoculture put it near the top of the woke scale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s narratives frequently foreground identity politics and topical progressive issues over genuinely diverse viewpoints or organic comedy. Colbert often seems to prioritize performative virtue and symbolic gestures, rather than balanced or original comedic storytelling, in our view.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our experience, the show consistently lampoons traditional values, particularly around religion, family, and masculinity. Faith and traditional viewpoints are frequently played for laughs or positioned as outdated, with little sincere exploration of those perspectives.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The show reliably features a single, progressive ideological perspective. Opposing viewpoints are largely absent, or, when depicted, are rendered as caricatures or punchlines. Genuine ideological pluralism is rare to nonexistent in the show’s format.
