‘How dare you?': Stephen Colbert responds to Trump's gloating over show's cancellation

In a blistering monologue that blended satire with raw emotion, Stephen Colbert addressed the cancellation of The Late Show and fired back at former U.S. President Donald Trump, who had publicly praised CBS for 'taking a good stand' in pulling the plug on Colbert's late-night programme. Advertisement 'How dare you, sir?' Colbert said, with faking anger. 'Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?' Cueing up a segment titled 'Eloquence Cam', Colbert then glared into the camera, adopted a thick New York accent, and delivered an unambiguous message: 'Go f**k yourself.' The explicit word was censored for broadcast, but the sentiment rang loud and clear. Colbert Makes Sure That Trump Steers Clear from the Other Late Night Show Hosts Colbert wasn't done. He referenced Trump's social media remark that 'Jimmy Kimmel is next,' and replied with biting sarcasm: 'Nope, no, no. Absolutely not. Kimmel, I am the martyr. There's only room for one on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house!' Advertisement Opening the show with a sardonic take on so-called cancel culture, Colbert remarked, 'Folks, I'm gonna go ahead and say it: Cancel culture has gone too far. Over the weekend, it sunk in that they're killing off our show. But they made one mistake: They left me alive.' He went on to declare that for the remaining ten months of The Late Show, the 'gloves are off,' adding, 'I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump, starting right now.' Then, with a comic pause, he offered a deliberately tame critique: 'I don't care for him. Doesn't have the skillset to be president. Not a good fit, that's all.' What Happened to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert The announcement of The Late Show's impending end was first made during the taping on Thursday, July 17, with Colbert informing the studio audience and the wider world shortly after via a video release. He revealed he had learned of CBS's decision the previous evening. Advertisement While expressing regret over the show's cancellation, Colbert took a gracious tone towards the network. 'It is a fantastic job,' he told his audience. 'I wish somebody else was getting it.' He added, 'The folks at CBS have been great partners.' Monday night's episode featured appearances from actors Sandra Oh—of 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Killing Eve' fame—and Dave Franco, known for films such as 'Now You See Me', 'Together', and 'The Disaster Artist'.

Spider-Man and The Punisher will come together in the next Tom Holland film, confirms Marvel's Kevin Feige

These sure are exciting times for fans of the superhero genre, with James Gunn's Superman rewriting iconic character traits and Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps all set for its worldwide release this week. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe haven't had a lot to celebrate in recent times, but some much-needed good news has just been delivered by the president of the studio, Kevin Feige. He has just confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is going to release in July 2026, is likely to feature another iconic comic-book character, and that is going to be Frank Castle, The Punisher. While attending a roundtable discussion for the upcoming Fantastic Four, Feige shed some light on Marvel's plans for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, and how is that movie going to fare considering that it is the last MCU movie to release before Avengers: Doomsday? When asked about whether the film is going to act as a proverbial bridge, which takes the audience to Doomsday, Feige made it clear that Peter Parker is all set to explore his story now, and considering how the last film ended, he has a lot of time to focus on just himself and become the hero he needs to be. He said, 'I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home that, for as sad as it is, Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life.' ALSO READ: Fantastic Four first reactions say Marvel dials down the noise, turns up the heart in cosmic reboot: 'Emotional punch' He added, 'We are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. He is, by himself, dedicated to saving the city and dealing with—for lack of a better term—street-level crime as opposed to world-ending events that he faced when working with the other characters.' Kevin Feige does make a good point, because even though all of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies have been successful and well received, it can be argued the character has always had people to rely on. He is yet to go on that 'Batman-like' lonesome journey, where he can discover himself while caring about just his neighbourhood and his city. Interestingly, the Punisher's first-ever comic book appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man issue #129. Apart from the several gritty storylines he has been a part of in the comics, the character was brought to life by actor Jon Bernthal back in 2016, when he featured in the second season of Daredevil. Since then, Bernthal has impressed audiences with his portrayal of the 'obsessed with justice' character and even played him in two stand-alone seasons. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is all set to release on July 31, 2026.

Bourbon Whiskey Is Trending In India. Here Is Why It Deserves A Spot In Your Home Bar

The party never stops at Bourbon Street in New Orleans (NOLA). It was here at 2 am on a typical wild night in NOLA that I first heard about the Mad Men Effect almost a decade ago. Mad Men, the popular 2010s TV show, contributed to the resurgence of classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned. The rise of a global cocktail culture also led to the soaring sales figures of Bourbon whisky. The Kentucky Bourbon tale is one of America's legendary immigrant stories. It all began in the 1770s when European settlers arrived with rugged stills and learnings from their respective countries on how to put these stills to good use. Bourbon might be an American original, but it is slowly finding a fan base in India, too. From five-star bars to home bar carts, this once-niche spirit is now a go-to for mixologists and drinkers looking to shake things up. Also Read: 5 Must-Have Whiskey Glasses For Your Bar Collection Origins The conflicting legends that surround the origin of bourbon whiskey add to its mystique. Some credit Elijah Craig, a Baptist minister and distiller, as the first to age the product in charred oak casks that lend the Bourbon its distinctive brown hue and taste. Some link the origin to Jacob Spears, an early distiller and the first to label his product as Bourbon whiskey. I also heard another version when I was in New Orleans, which historians like Michael Veach have suggested. They believe that the spirit takes its name from Bourbon Street, where Kentucky whiskey was sold as a cheaper alternative to French cognac. Also Read: Confused About Whisky Vs. Whiskey? Here's Everything You Need to Know Bourbon defined Although Bourbon as we know it became an integral part of the American landscape in the second half of the 19th century, it was finally recognised in 1964 by the United States Congress as a distinctive product of the US. Bourbon may be made anywhere in the US, but it is strongly associated with the Southern US and particularly the Bluegrass state - Kentucky. In simple terms, Kentucky Bourbon refers to a barrel-aged whiskey made primarily from corn. The US Congress recognition in 1964 also stated that Bourbon sold in the US must be produced in the country from at least 51% corn and stored in a new container of charred oak. The popularity of Bourbons has also been driven by mixologists across the world. Nitin Goyal, the Bar Manager at The Ritz-Carlton, Bangalore, compares Bourbon to one of your music playlists with popular music. It's just the spirit when you're mixing for a diverse crowd. Reliable, bold and something that makes you look good behind the bar. Bourbon's unique mix of versatility, flavour complexity and versatility makes it ideal for cocktails. Just what you need for your home bar when you play mixologist: Try these Bourbon Cocktails at home Classic Old Fashioned Recipe Courtesy - Nitin Goyal, Bar Manager, The Ritz-Carlton Bangalore This classic cocktail dates back to 1881. It was believed to have been brought to the Waldorf Astoria in New York by a bartender from the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in the heart of Bourbon country. Nitin recommends Bourbons in the 90-100 proof range. Higher proof options like Wild Turkey 101 or Old Forester 100 stand their ground when mixed-they won't get lost in the ice or muddle. Recipe: Bourbon Whiskey - 60 ml Sugar Cube - 1 Cube Aromatic Bitters - 5 ml or 1 bar spoon Method - Build Up Glassware - Cut Old Fashioned Garnish - Orange Twist Aura Recipe courtesy - Hiramon Paul, Bar Manager, Sheraton Grand Pune Bund Garden Hotel This new age cocktail incorporates truffle-infused Bourbon whiskey. Hiramon describes this as an aromatic, fruity and foamy cocktail. He recommends using freshly squeezed lime juice for the cocktail and actual truffle to infuse the whiskey. Ingredients: Truffle-infused bourbon whiskey - 60 ml Egyptian hibiscus ginger flush shrub (House-made) - 30 ml Citrus juice - 10 ml Egg white (optional) Method: Fill a shaker with ice: Add ice to a cocktail shaker until it's about half full. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup: Pour the truffle-infused bourbon, lemon juice and homemade Hibiscus shrub into the shaker. Shake until chilled: Close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds to combine and chill the ingredients. Strain into a glass: Strain the mixture into a coupe glass filled with a round ice ball. Garnish with dehydrated hibiscus flower as a sustainable practice Smoked Maple Bourbon Sour Recipe courtesy - Madhumita Maltesh, Executive Mixologist, JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru Madhumita recommends using a Bourbon with a good oak and vanilla profile for both classic and modern drinks. Ingredients: 60 ml Bourbon 20 ml Fresh lemon juice 15 ml Maple syrup Egg white (optional, for froth) Smoke from burnt cinnamon stick (for aroma) Method: Dry shake all ingredients (without ice) to emulsify. Add ice and shake well, again. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Infuse with cinnamon smoke for a modern twist. Three Kentucky Bourbons for your home bar Wild Turkey 101: Master Distiller Jimmy Russell is a Kentucky legend and the longest-tenured active master distiller in the world; he's been crafting Wild Turkey 101 for over 60 years with a high rye content that's aged in American White Oak barrels with the deepest char for more character. Jim Beam Black: A recent avatar of the popular Kentucky Bourbon. This award-winning, full-bodied Bourbon is extra-aged with an enhanced level of elegance and refinement. The 86-proof Bourbon whisky spends years longer in American White Oak barrels than the original Jim Beam, offering the spirit its full-bodied flavour with notes of warm oak and smooth caramel. Maker's Mark: This small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, has acquired a cult following. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavoured Bourbon that's easy to drink. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in the signature red wax at the distillery. Disclaimer: The opinions expressed within this article are the personal opinions of the author.
