Colbert Mocks Noem with Camel Botox Scandal
27 Feb
Summary
- Colbert compared Kristi Noem to a camel involved in a Botox cheating scandal.
- The Late Show host's program is set to end in May after 10 seasons.
- President Trump praised Colbert's show cancellation, calling his talent low.
Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, recently drew parallels between South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and a camel involved in a cosmetic enhancement scandal. During his monologue, Colbert highlighted a camel beauty contest in Oman where participants were disqualified for using Botox and other fillers. He then humorously suggested Noem resembled such an "enhanced" animal.
Colbert's commentary comes as his own show is set to conclude in May after a decade on air. The decision to end "The Late Show" has been a subject of debate, with some suggesting political motivations. Notably, former President Donald Trump publicly applauded the cancellation, stating Colbert's talent was "even less than his ratings."
The show's conclusion has fueled discussions about the late-night television landscape and the financial decisions behind network programming. Colbert, however, seemed unfazed, joking that viewers enjoyed watching him dislike Trump, possibly contributing to his program's viewership.
