Stephen Colbert and the Role of Humor in American Politics

The article reflects on the departure of Stephen Colbert from 'The Late Show' and its wider implications for political discourse in the United States. The author, John Casey, argues that Colbert was not merely a comedian but a vital public service, using humor to process political outrage and challenge the culture of fear perpetuated by former President Donald Trump. Casey critiques Trump's approach to humor, emphasizing that unlike past presidents, Trump uses humor as a weapon against others rather than for self-reflection or leadership. The piece also touches on the broader absence of humor in politics, citing the passing of Barney Frank as another loss of wit and perspective in Washington. Ultimately, the article frames Colbert's exit as a reflection of a political environment where mocking the president became professionally risky, highlighting the erosion of levity and laughter in American political life.

“Just this week, [#Trump] fearlessly created a taxpayer-financed slush fund for his supporters and pointedly refused to rule out giving money from it to cop-beating insurrectionists, and then made the IRS agree not to audit his taxes. Imagine creating a new standard of hypersensitive caution about attracting even the most persnickety media criticism, and then applying it for the first time to your son’s wedding.”
