“The Late Show<\/a>” host Stephen Colbert insists in a new interview that he’s more conservative than the “lefty figure” people perceive him to be.<\/p>\n

Speaking to GQ’s Zach Baron<\/a> in an interview published Monday, Colbert talked about his work on the show and its recent cancellation last summer.<\/p>\n

Though Colbert has frequently attacked President Donald Trump<\/a> and Republicans, he told Baron that the audience demographics for his show were split evenly among Republicans, Democrats and Independents.<\/p>\n

“People perceive me as this sort of lefty figure; I think I\u2019m more conservative than people think,” Colbert told GQ. “I just happen to be talking about a government in extremis. And so what I\u2019m giving you is my reaction video to the day. And my reaction video is like ‘The Scream,’ in a way, but with jokes.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “So that makes me perceived as more left necessarily than I am, because I\u2019m not sure what other reaction would be an honest one. It\u2019s hard to have a balanced reaction to the idea of troops on streets of a city that actually is not undergoing an invasion.”<\/p>\n

Colbert said that he did not intend “The Late Show” to be a show to “save the republic” as people claimed, but he was later motivated by the 2016 election to warn audiences about Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colbert has even helped raise money for the Democratic Party and was an open supporter<\/a> of Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign.<\/p>\n

“I literally did the first six months of the show going: What should we do tonight? What\u2019s my attitude tonight? What\u2019s my point of view tonight? And it really wasn\u2019t until the political campaign of 2016 really started cooking that I realized again that you cannot do these shows unless you\u2019re talking about something you really care about, that\u2019s in the daily conversation,” Colbert said.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, Colbert commented about CBS and its parent company Paramount’s decision to end his show after reaching a $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump. CBS has said the decision was purely financial regarding Colbert’s program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Colbert suggested it was “reasonable” for people to believe the decision was politically motivated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I can understand why people would have that reaction because CBS or the parent corporation \u2014 I\u2019m not going to say who made that decision, because I don\u2019t know; no one\u2019s ever going to tell us \u2014 decided to cut a check for $16 million to the President of the United States over a lawsuit that their own lawyers, Paramount\u2019s own lawyers, said is completely without merit. And it is self-evident that that is damaging to the reputation of the network, the corporation, and the news division,” Colbert said.<\/p>\n

The final episode of “The Late Show” will air next May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
