Goodbye, Stephen Colbert – ‘The Vax Scene’ Cringe-fest
Far-left host's worst moment may have come during pandemic mania

Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” exits stage far Left on May 21.
Good riddance.
It’s not kind to celebrate a show’s demise, especially since it means the people working on it will be looking for work along with its host.
“The Late Show” has been a drag on the culture for some time, and its demise is a net positive. Colbert and company have spread many false narratives, dividing the country in the process.
That’s why we’re starting a new series featuring the worst “Late Show” moments over the years.
- Cringe interviews
- Shameful sketches
- Political buttocks smooching of the first order

Colbert has, sadly, given us plenty of material to consider. And why not start with arguably the most embarrassing “Late Show” moment of all?
The context? Not long ago, Colbert was warning his viewers about the possible dangers of Big Pharma.
In the summer of 2020 Stephen Colbert aired a sketch warning people to be skeptical of vaccines and Big Pharma.
Eleven months later with Biden as President, Colbert was dancing for the vaccine.

The “Strangers with Candy” alum had a change of heart with a change of presidents. That leads us to “The Vax Scene.” It’s as if a pharmaceutical giant with no discernible artistic flair handed the show’s writing staff specific notes and said, “do this.”
And they did.
The musical number proved hard to watch at the time. Now, given all that we’ve learned about the vaccine and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s meandering narratives, it’s all but impossible.
A sample of the YouTube comments:
If this doesn’t creep you out you have no soul.
Make sure Stephen is remembered for this.
This needs to be saved for future generations. So that they can study propaganda by big pharma
If you were investigating the death of late night TV, congratulations. You just found the murder weapon.
Wild that they haven’t deleted this
That’s why it’s the perfect clip to kick off this series.
