Outgoing CBS “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert provided a fawning interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris during a recent appearance, which was primarily focused on her new book “107 Days” about her failed presidential bid. Despite the opportunity to address pressing issues, Colbert avoided tackling the controversy surrounding former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and Harris’ potential involvement in Donald Trump’s “60 Minutes” lawsuit against CBS News.
The interview, which was described as heavily lighthearted, centered more on promoting Harris’ book than on any substantive discussion. While Colbert did touch on certain topics like Harris’ experience after Biden’s disastrous presidential debate in June 20,24, he did not delve into the broader implications or the controversies that have surrounded the former president.
Additionally, the interview did not address Harris’ involvement in the Trump lawsuit against CBS News and Paramount, which has been a significant point of contention. Critics have pointed out the complexities of the situation, including the editing of Harris’ comments on “60 Minutes,” which has led to various interpretations and criticisms.
Despite the lack of depth, the interview provided an opportunity for both Colbert and Harris to engage in light-hearted conversation, although much of the substance was left unexplored. The interview was noted for its entertainment value rather than its analytical or investigative nature.
