Ever get that itch when Mercury’s doing its cosmic shimmy, making communication as tangled as a soap opera plot? Well, Stephen Colbert sure seems to be feeling the celestial vibes as he throws shade on Paramount’s $16-million hush money to Trump—talk about a cosmic irony during CBS’s Skydance deal! Here’s a guy who’s been spitting truth to power like it’s his daily bread, now calling out his own network for what feels like a corporate betrayal that’s harder to mend than a broken horoscope. Makes you wonder—when the stars align for such drama, are we witnessing a scripted show or just reality’s sarcastic wink? Buckle up, because this one’s more twisted than a retrograde mess. LEARN MORE.

On top of that, Stephen has always challenged Trump’s administration. Amid CBS’s sale to Skydance, he even recently criticized Paramount for paying the settlement, since they also need Trump’s administration approval for the sale. “My parent corporation, Paramount, paid Donald Trump a $16-million settlement over his 60 Minutes lawsuit. As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended. And I don’t know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company.”
