Protests occurred outside The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's studio, with demonstrators delivering 10 boxes of petitions to CBS and Paramount. More than 250,000 signatures were collected, emphasizing support from various Democratic lawmakers and public figures. The petition, led by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, criticized the cancellation as politically motivated and warned of increasing authoritarianism. Recently, Paramount settled a lawsuit from Donald Trump concerning CBS News, prompting outrage regarding the show's cancellation and its implications for dissenting voices in media.
During the rally, demonstrators delivered 10 boxes filled with Save Colbert petitions to the company, and more than 250,000 people have signed. Among supporters are lawmakers, comedians, and producers.
PCCC's co-founder criticized Paramount's decision, stating that the issue is about more than a TV show, highlighting the trend of institutions caving to political pressure and the risk of silencing dissenting voices.
