Stephen Colbert made his name at the 2006 WH Correspondents Dinner mocking journalists for being too deferential to the president. Now, 16 years and $150 million later, he demands journalists be more deferential to the President, says they should be slapped when confrontational. (twitter.com)

2006, a time when Colbert was actually funny and didn't take himself too seriously.

That WHCD where he roasted Bush using satire for over an hour was up there as one of the greatest moments in the history of C-SPAN. Anyone honest would admit it was funny and took tremendous balls. The WHCD team clearly did not do their homework and thought they were getting a Republican comedian.

It's sad to see how far Colbert has fallen. Since he left comedy central to host the late show and dropped the role playing act he's just not funny anymore and has become far too partisan.

It makes me think they have blackmail material on him. He's clearly changed sides and his material has suffered greatly for it.

I think he just became a mindless hater just like almost all the other Democrats.

He was always that partisan, but on Colbert he didn't have to virtue signal because he could just tell his friends that funny joke that offended them was just his character.

Also him doing that in 2006 wasn't brave or the funniest moments, Norm MacDonald doing that in 1997 was funnier and braver - truly a pioneer.
