Alyssa Farah Griffin on Harris’s Colbert Appearance: ‘Everything That’s Wrong with Democrats’

Former White House aide and “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in on former Vice President Kamala Harris’s appearance on Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show,” arguing the interview, her first since losing to President Trump in the 2024 election, represents everything that is “wrong” with Democrats since the November presidential race.

“I was struck by, I’m going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with Democrats postelection. I’m going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,” Farah Griffin said during her Saturday morning appearance on CNN.

“He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that’s having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it’s not where the American voters are,” “The View” co-host said while on CNN’s “Table For Five.”

CBS announced in mid-July that it is nixing “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” ending its run in May 2026 and arguing it was a “financial decision.”
