Sky News AU21-07-2025
Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer discusses Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' getting axed.
'As soon as Colbert got the CBS Late Night gig, I mean he just stopped being funny essentially overnight,' Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
'Just kind of an angry, snarky guy, who's not particularly funny; he brings up essentially no entertainment value, so I mean, good riddance.
'This is the kind of thing you love to see.'

Queen Mary rushed indoors after shock moment during outing

IN LONDON Queen Mary has been forced to cut short her appearance at a royal walkabout after a painful encounter. The Australian-born monarch, 53, was with her husband, King Frederik, 57, and two of their children – Princess Isabella, 18, and Prince Vincent, 14, greeting locals in Gråsten, Denmark as they kicked off their summer holiday. In footage shared on social media, Mary was seen standing with her family before wincing and touching her leg in distress prompting her husband and children to check on her. Sky News reports that she insisted her family continue with the engagement, while she was whisked away to a nearby hotel. Meanwhile, local media outlet Billed Bladet confirmed she appeared to be OK despite the ordeal. 'The queen certainly did not seem to be badly affected by the encounter with the stinging wasp, and she, together with the king, Isabella and Vincent, made sure to greet the many citizens who had gathered in the square,' the publication reported. The Danish royal family later settled into Gråsten Palace, their summer holiday home for the next few weeks. It's been an intensely busy 18 months for the King and Queen who officially ascended the Danish throne on January 14 last year, after Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, abdicated and thus ended her 52-year reign. A short time later, the King released a book, co-authored by royal biographer Jens Anderson, revealing a surprising amount of personal details about the royal couple. 'I love marriage, my wife, our children and the whole happy base that arises for the people who manage to stay together and persevere,' he wrote. He described Mary as his 'partner and wing woman' and praised their 'super dynamic'.

‘End of woke advertising': Sydney Sweeney jeans ad sparks outrage

Sky News contributor Louise Roberts reacts to Sydney Sweeney's new American Eagle jeans campaign, which has sparked outrage. The ad features the actress using a play on words, with many critics claiming it's 'nazi propaganda'. 'The ads aren't offensive, but the comments are. Anyone who is going to use the Nazi word … and not be talking about World War II or the persecution of Jewish people is making a very obscene and offensive statement,' Ms Roberts told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'It's a play on words, great jeans, you know, denim. Great genes, genetic material, and that's all it is. 'If the spin out is that it's a celebration of the end of woke advertising, I'm all for it because every ad should be promoting the product, not promoting an agenda about diversity or gender.'

‘They take no prisoners': South Park creators ‘couldn't care less' about outrage over Trump episode

Sky News host Paul Murray has reacted to a clip from an episode of South Park which pokes fun at the US President and Paramount's settlement with Donald Trump. 'As a person who likes Donald Trump, who understands how he won, who understands how he lost and then understands how he won again – the South Park thing was hilarious. Was really funny,' he said. 'One of the best ways that you can always have a crack at the powerful is to take the piss, is to laugh, and that's what they decided to do.' Mr Murray claims the South Park creators 'couldn't care less' about the outrage over the episode. 'They take no prisoners ... that's their kind of humour and long may it reign,' he said.
