Awesome!

Awesome!

A Black waitress was fired for helping Stephen Colbert, but the very next day, she received the biggest shock of her life. Keisha — a single mother working at a small suburban restaurant, struggling to support her young daughter — never imagined that one small act of kindness could change her life forever. That day, the restaurant where she worked welcomed a very special guest: television host, political commentator, and actor… Stephen Colbert. No one recognized Stephen Colbert except Keisha, but she chose to stay quiet.

A class act through and through!

Stephen Colbert turns his first honky-tonk bar into a place that feeds the homeless after Texas floods.
He bought back the small roadhouse in Texas where he once played music to earn gas money. But instead of restoring it for nostalgia, he transformed it into a daily meal center that now feeds over 120 homeless people — many of them flood victims.

Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, Oliver, and Meyers are crossing network lines to defend Stephen Colbert — and what’s set to unfold this coming Monday night may become the biggest protest in late-night comedy history.
They were never meant to share a stage.
They weren’t even supposed to be on the same side.
But when CBS abruptly canceled The Late Show just days after Colbert mocked a $16 million deal, the response wasn’t a whisper — it was a rebellion within the world of talk shows.
Jimmy Fallon crossed the street.
Jimmy Kimmel broke his vacation silence.
Seth Meyers started crafting biting monologues.
And John Oliver? He called it what it is: “This is a loss for everyone.”
No more network rivalries.
No more scripted facades.
No more pretending this is just television.
Just four men with microphones… and something that needs to be said.
Behind the curtain at the Ed Sullivan Theater, something real is happening.
And now, the entire comedy world is showing up — but no one’s laughing anymore.
