Colbert replaced David Letterman as the host of CBS's late night program on September 9, 2015, featuring "six solid minutes bashing [[Donald Trump]] but not a single joke about [[Hillary Clinton]]’s email scandal or crazy [[Socialist]] [[Bernie Sanders]]."<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/09/gross-colbert-launches-late-show-with-donald-trump-on-screen-with-kkk-video/</ref> Not surprisingly, his ratings then collapsed for his show the following night, particularly in the key demographic of younger viewers.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/tv/2015/09/10/colbert-audience-drops-44-night-2/72010818/</ref>

Colbert played a character who shares his name. Colbert's character was a liberal stereotype of a conservative pundit, particularly a mockery of Fox News host [[Bill O'Reilly]] and ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]''. Colbert has a guest every episode on the last segment, including authors, activists, and occasionally politicians and political personalities. He has said that his personality was based on O'Reilly, [[Anderson Cooper]], and [[Geraldo Rivera]].
