His show was a regular part of our early-morning routine for years. His comedic antics and hilarious takes on Trump helped us greet each new day with laughter.
We didn't stay up late at night to watch Colbert live because we'd go to bed before the show aired. But watching the re-runs on YouTube the next morning became a habit in the last decade.
Whenever something that makes you laugh is suddenly silenced there's going to be a void in your life. We watch re-runs of Jimmy Kimmel in the morning over a cup of joe. He's funny. Just not as funny as Stepen Colbert. There. I said it. Sorry Jimmy. We still watch your show so that says something. Right?
If there's one thing Shirley and I have learned in 52 years of marriage is that humor helps us cope with the stress in society today. As corny as it sounds, laughter is the best medicine.
We come to you dear reader, not to bury Stephen Colbert, but to give you hope. We all need hope. Shirley and believe a talent like his is a national treasure.
If someone ever decides to build a museum featuring only American comedians from throughout our history, Shirley and I will be at the front of the line of visitors on opening day.
Just imagine if we did have a museum like that for America's 250th anniversary. The public could have voted for their 250 favorite comedic candidates. I'd put Colbert in the top 10 picks. We are talking about comedians and not dictators, so visitors don't have to worry about encountering a Trump dummy.
We haven't giving up on seeing Colbert again. He's just too talented not to have a media platform somewhere out there.
I know that the MAGA controlled media empire considers him persona non grata. But in this day and age there's plenty of other media platforms that would love to have a popular funny guy like Colbert.
As it Stands, When Colbert's new gig airs we hope it's during prime time, but we're ready to embrace late-night TV performances again if necessary.
