In this unflinching portrait, Roseanne sits down to exclusively to tell her life story. She recounts her unusual childhood of growing up Jewish in Salt Lake City, Utah, and how her rebellious nature started by eating a Spam sandwich. She explains that her ability to create jokes came from making her father laugh so he wouldn't punish her. She retells the harrowing events that led up to her taking the stage at a comedy club in Denver, where she was able to establish a local following with her "Funny Womanness" routine and a unique approach to humor.At the encouragement of touring comedians, Roseanne traveled to Los Angeles and instantly found success at The Comedy Store. In record time, Roseanne was invited to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The audience couldn't get enough of the "Domestic Goddess." Her whirlwind career gained momentum when singer Julio Iglesias invited her to be his opening act and comedic legend Rodney Dangerfield asked her to play his wife on his 1986 HBO special, and she then landed two HBO specials of her own. This success culminated in her groundbreaking sitcom, Roseanne. The series quickly replaced The Cosby Show at the top of the ratings. But the TV show provided many challenges for Roseanne, as she battled writers over the show content and her character. She describes what she had to do to make it her show and not a group of Ivy League graduate writers' warped perception of middle America.Roseanne recounts the disastrous night she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a San Diego Padres game. This was her first encounter with "cancel culture," when President George H.W. Bush spoke out against her. Her show remained at the top until she decided to end it after nine seasons. She went on to host her own talk show. During one episode, she told guest Donald Trump that he needed to run for president, although she staged a presidential campaign first as the Green Party candidate in 2012. After Trump won in 2016, Roseanne found herself reviving her Roseanne sitcom to record-breaking ratings.The success didn't last long, due to a late-night tweet while on Ambien, which quickly derailed everything. Roseanne recounts the story of how her network swiftly removed her from her show. "Cancel Culture" had her blacklisted and she was shunned by everyone outside of Fox News and Dr. Oz.In Roseanne Barr Is America, Roseanne calls out her detractors and defends her reputation that so many have sought to destroy. Roseanne is defiant as she describes how those that came for her are also seeking to ruin America.Roseanne Barr Is America includes an exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr, exclusive home movies and photographs from her youth, clips of her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, behind the scenes footage from Roseanne, highlights from her Presidential campaign, and even video proof that she can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a ballgame.Roseanne Barr.

WABC Host Bill O'Reilly calls in to touch on the shifting media landscape and his puzzling relationship with Howard Stern. O'Reilly recalls knowing Stern from their Boston University days and even having him on The O'Reilly Factor, but Stern now denies knowing him, which O'Reilly finds strange. He critiques Stern's transformation from rebellious satirist to Hollywood insider and political activist, suggesting it alienated his core audience and may explain declining SiriusXM subscriptions. O'Reilly reflects on the disappearance of true media icons like Walter Cronkite, Rush Limbaugh, and Johnny Carson, saying no one of that stature is emerging today. He praises Sid for being one of the last daring voices in radio and predicts that Stern may soon retire, though he might stay if he accepts a pay cut when his current contract is up.

Two weeks ago, when Paramount cancelled “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” insiders in Hollywood and Washington alike deemed the move suspicious: Colbert had just called his parent company's payout to Trump a “big fat bribe” on air. Paramount, for its part, claims that the decision was purely financial—Colbert's show is losing forty million dollars a year. But both the political and economic explanations reveal how the landscape of late night has changed since Johnny Carson's day. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider Colbert's body of work and the state of the genre more generally, from the so-called late-night wars of the nineties through to the modern challenge of making comedy in a country where nothing feels funny anymore. “Late-night hosting is an art, but it's also business. So, if your job is to get as many eyeballs on you as is humanly possible, what do you do?” Schwartz says. “It's not easy to have fun with the news, as it is. And if you are having fun with it, something may very well be wrong.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Strangers with Candy” (1999–2000)“The Daily Show” (1996–)“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (2015–26)“The Staying Power of the ‘S.N.L.'

Trying to become a normal country in a normal time. Listener call-in’s on the Left’s use of the environment as a political issue and the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Historian Victor Davis Hanson’s take on the 2019 Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax.

Patrick opens the hour reflecting on late-night television’s shift from the genial wit of Johnny Carson to what he sees as the harsh, politicized comedy behind Stephen Colbert’s cancellation. He shares how digital life devours nearly half the waking day for most Americans and shares research revealing one-third of teens now turn to AI chatbots for emotional support rather than real people. A call from physicist Tom throws open the gates on AI’s privacy pitfalls and ethical quicksand, urging parents to recognize just how quickly children can slip away into digital intimacy with machines. ‘We’re With Colbert’ rally draws just 20 protesters. (00:58) Audio: Johnny Carson on why he doesn’t get into “serious” issues on The Tonight Show (05:45) Americans spend nearly half their day online — whether it’s work or play — ‘eye-opening’ poll shows (12:49) A 3rd of U.S. teens now say they prefer talking to AI companions over real friends (24:23) Tom - I am a physicist and AI pioneer. What you are discussing is super important. It promotes your confirmation bias just like humans do. Everything modern or recent takes precedence. I am dedicated to developing ethical AI. (39:21)

Before there was Fallon, Kimmel, or Colbert — there was Johnny Carson, the undisputed King of Late Night. We talk with Howard Smith, author of the book, My Friend Johnny, who was Carson's longtime Malibu neighbor, friend, and tennis partner. Howard pulls back the curtain on Carson's private world — from secret card games with Steve Martin, Don Rickles, Carl Reiner, and Martin Short, to the personal joke-writing advice Johnny gave Jay Leno. We also get tales of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Weintraub, and even a Carson monologue name-drop that sent Howard's high school friends into a frenzy. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Stephen Colbert's show was cancelled because they were losing millions of dollars a year, it had nothing to do with President Trump. Colbert and his late-night pals destroyed late night comedy by making it overly political and monotonous, rather than focusing on laughter as people seek escape from politics. Past great comedians like Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, and Steve Allen built this genre professionally and these hosts have exploited and ruined it. Also, America First Legal revealed emails showing Biden DOJ and White House coordination on Merrick Garland's 2021 memo directing FBI to address “threats” from parents protesting school policies on COVID, CRT, and transgender issues. The DOJ sought a federal hook despite internal warnings of First Amendment protections and no federal jurisdiction. Emails undermine Garland's independence claims. They coordinated, lied about it and nobody will be held to account. In addition, declassified documents from DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the Obama administration politicized intelligence to fabricate a Russian interference narrative in the 2016 election, despite IC reports showing no cyber impact on outcomes, only minor psychological efforts. This laid groundwork for the Trump-Russia probe, involving officials like Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Kerry, Lynch, and McCabe, culminating in a Dec 9 White House meeting and new IC assessment per Obama. We always knew this was corrupt. Later, Alexander Hamilton's views on liberty and government differed with those of Jefferson and Madison. Hamilton's modern appeal among centralized power advocates, as seen in the Broadway musical's popularity with elites and academics. Hamilton proposed lifetime terms for the executive and one legislative branch at the Convention, an idea rejected. Raoul Berger's book critiques implied powers as abusive, emphasizing the Constitution's intent to restrict federal authority and protect state residuary powers. Hamilton in Federalist No. 33 reassured states on the "necessary and proper" clause as means to execute delegated powers only, per Madison and ratification understandings. Afterward, NYC Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa calls in with an update on his campaign against Zohran Mamdani, Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this reflective and often irreverent solo episode of Spellbreakers, host Matt Trump dives into the cultural funeral of Stephen Colbert's late-night career. From Colbert's early comedic heyday on Comedy Central to his final act as a vaccine-dancing cheerleader for the establishment, Matt unpacks the tragic arc of a once-promising entertainer who, in his view, sold out to political orthodoxy. With humor, personal anecdotes, and a nostalgic lens on Johnny Carson's era, the episode explores the decline of broadcast TV, the death of the late-night format, and the broader cultural implications of Colbert's cancellation. Matt shares his own evolution from former fan to critic, considers why modern talk shows no longer resonate, and even touches on how Colorado and Keanu Reeves might still give him hope. Sprinkled with satire and a little heartbreak, this episode captures a generational shift in American media with one final sendoff, complete with a cringeworthy trip down vaccine musical memory lane.
Stephen Colbert stuns his audience with the announcement that CBS is cancelling The Late Show entirely, with his final program airing in May 2026. Why are so many late night shows failing in the age of Trump? Dan thinks we know the answer.

OH NOOOOOOOO! i'M OLD!!!!!!! its wednesday eve in Boston Mass… SETH MEYERS! Ah, he's going for it. Ah, man. SHOW ME YOUR EYES. Fuck. SHOW ME YOUR EYES! SUDAKIS shines a bright flash light into his former colleagues eyes. …You're not Seth Meyers. Seth Meyers does not respond, but relaxes slightly; it's obviously not safe to be Seth Meyers right now. Where's Seth Meyers? Seth shrugs but still doesn't say anything– Where is he? I have to stop here; Cop out for body language somebody's watching Somebody knows who I am I am I remember now You looked like that It went like this: I moved the world The need was good The love was gone The vein was split open And broken No fair Also, no omletts 60 minutes 60 years and 60 second clips 60 second glimpses 60 men on television but really, my attention just centers on Around ten of them or so And believe it or not, I care approach. Believe it or not, I care Or don't! –or don't! Johnny! You don't get it! You missed a show! THE tonight show! We are fucked! we are NOT! youre still sauced. I'll just take the car! What car!? Now that JOHNNY CARSON knows his Delorean can time travel, he's absolutely unstoppable. Unfortunately, it appears his delorean has been switched with a regular one– If I shoot you in your forehead? I'd rather that, than this. And I kiss you in your temple? Dear templeton, my simpleton's i'll die I desire. A wicked want. And then? A callous shadow, If i may, To bear for nothing, But a mirror This is our concept And wilted her e the flower does grow the flame The faming true and ache of lust and there For our want a jasper shore and emerald cascades there you are, And there you'll find The wave beyond the peaking break where great white sharks reside But do not wade to shallow waters; And there you find peace, And there you find certainty But now, And here, is war And fortune not but seeks truth in the gaze And for fear there does not live, but hides instead the truth that seeks to guide the lite, And yet does know our trust And there does find the faith, Forward and not Upwards and back Arrow and arrow Truth and sparrow Wreaking and wretched thoughts And the rope does hang high and solemn Looking, leap and gasp For I fall but did not land I pulled for you, I weep, my shadow, The two of diamonds, the Ace of spades, The Three of Hearts, Without my shadow I weep. I know for you nothing but conscious and knowing and needing and fated departure. I know for you nothing but chakras and eyesight and shadows and foresight. I need fo you nothing but want and by conscious, departure For nothing I want you, I weep. Sorrow. On approach of danger, The knowing, On seeth did gather, the sinking ritual the carried tribes in ships tied, weaving strings The spider bites hard And she stole my love twice And she stole my love always And she stole my love Lighting my light wit blue eyes The deception If love could be stolen at all But if not Then not love for seeking is finding and gathered had hunted And truth in forbearer Forbearance and otherwords, Shadows and shattered and ferris wheels, Now forward Gathered here for are I trust And be dismayed for you have faltered You have failures and you have cast us out of these things thinking We have not made them for you And still we seek to gather with you And here does forshadow your making Our promise to come as ones, Not as Gods, But as others, you cast out. Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done, for sure the tables have turn, one And the gallows have not wandered far, Barrels of guns and barbells bottles and hearts of three reading cards and wanting none but justice Is he and she who are I now Begin to run from your pitied structure And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this, come what may, Moving and seeking, For seeking is finding, And run, my legs have come far But trust, my dove, My wings have too, sprouted An honor, an honor one candle and three wicks Three candles and three worlds over One world and one building and still far from under the Hollywoodland Crickets sounding The Hollywood Sign Still standing and here I am not, Blades of grass And who are I now Of that which you balk at Look, ponder Go, far asunder And wish now had you not What I am is that, Run Temper temper. Mind your business. Is it gathered? To burn, or burden? Gathered. Gathered here. Then here ive wandered. To stake? Argue. I will not. And I will not. Wiry bird, From where you flown i do ponder– re d with spirit and wilding eyes, Narrow server and paring wires; I do not wish to know you now or ever, But only as bird that does golden remember. The love has not gone, And instead lives in my throat, And twists in my lungs, Ans sits in my tongue, Not as speech, or whispers, But tragedy. Unknowing this, my tender being It can never be, the nervous hill And rolling down the hill as if The weel of time itself, Not unbroken, but resilient; In sll ways, meant to tear And turn, And wobble Made for terrain for which our eyes have known And our minds have built And hands molded wiith clay, The bodies whole of all our galaxies terra feighn Terra fine Terra wept tears of a clown, And iron And veins And shadows And plays, And secrets , And whispers And truth And far And Afters. I taste a saline drip, I swallow, Suddenly cold and all the knowing that What I was, I surely already am again And what I will be, Has already come and past. The monologue, I do remember Face to a name and none to forget Well rehearsed forager! Well done bayonet! Well done, my shadow For my time is coming to wander to night And never today again for it shall never Today again, And Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.

Something tells me its not over The heavy heart is shattered But also tied to that which appears to come upward As if on air To be heavy And lighthearted at once– A shadow above a balloon.

I was sure I was tied to something– And since I didn't know why, Or to what, The best bet I'm all in. Fuck. Was to stay broken, Under the radar, Hidden, and most importantly– Unspoken. These days. I kept more to myself than I could with the world– As it turned out… No, not yet. What do you mean? It's not time yet. They'll have to know. But not yet. At some point, they'll have to know. But not–yet. No time like the present. You made that up. Because you made up time. And it's stupid. This is ruthless. And again–they'll have to learn somehow. But not now. The sun sets at noon on our side, and still 21 hours of dark time. Did I have another tag to throw on it this? No. Are you sure? Doesn't the new series have a subtitle? No. Is it not “quantum force” That's only one, though. What's the difference. ERMO, DON'T! I'm gonna kill him! BIG BOYD, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! DOn't tell me what to DO. Wow. of course.

I want to die But I want to see my son again. He's not suffering, I am But starting to resent what he doesn't understand. To the world I'm a horrible mother But no one quite knows the half of it but God And the whole problem is what is not God in the world Is all for the other's purpose. Some probably respect I was punched In front of my son And then wonder's why At some point I could no longer Hold on Insomniac So someone should go slam the door when I ponder my own thoughts I'd probably walk off a walk on roll I don't lock up no more I just go out Knowing government drones probably watch And turn over the apartment As I'm out trying to own a home But of course, nothing I do in the world is of value And I'm no one No one at all in New York and the options are Where I don't want to be Or in Saint Monica homeless.

The rest of us are unwanted colored problems Can't stay here But the kids at the music school are fake nice And I'm done pulling my heart out And scratching my eyes out Just fucking trying Just fucking trying What is the point Of being in a prison For people who love oceans and trees And decent people? There's no one in New York to really love But babies and dogs And the whole world is horrible just knowing that I don't want to do anything but die Every time I ride the subway I wish I was white From the way that that white folks treat me And I wish I was blonde Because blondes seem to have it so fucking easy It's hard to believe I'm furious, furious Aren't you curious, curious how I got here?

Patrick explores the real-life decisions Catholics face, such as switching from the Latin Rite to the Byzantine Rite, and the complexities of hidden weddings, family pressures, and honesty, while seamlessly shifting to lighter banter about Johnny Carson and the subtle dangers of cultural influences like song lyrics. A candid exchange on free will in heaven caps off an hour brimming with hard truths, compassion, and unexpected moments. Seth (email) - Is there any benefit to changing your rite from the Latin to the Byzantine? (01:02) Lori - I loved how Johnnie Carson didn’t get involved in politics. You remind me of him. (05:41) Jesse - How can I decline gracefully to not be in a sibling’s wedding? (07:30) Mike – Is it okay to listen to Sympathy for the Devil? Will we have free will in Heaven? (18:38) Dave - I disagree with your comment on being married in a Church and having a ceremony outside of the Church. I am not sure you understand how complicated these situations are. (29:24) Terri - In Mexico, they have the Church ceremony first and civil ceremony after. (42:16) Richard - I'd like to raise a point from Dead Man Walking movie. The character in the movie repents. If he got life in prison he may not have ever repented. (49:05)
Iowa Lottery Fraud Which Led to Arrests and a Book. The story sounds like something out of a true crime documentary or Hollywood Crime Drama: cyber crime, deception, a mysterious offshore trust, and even Bigfoot hunting. But this wasn't fiction, it was real life in Iowa. And it led to one of the most shocking lottery fraud cases in U.S. history, resulting in arrests, a best-selling book, international news headlines, and millions in stolen winnings. The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. At the center of the storm was Terry Rich, the former President and CEO of the Iowa Lottery. Under his leadership, the organization uncovered a plot so bizarre and calculated that it threatened to undermine the entire $80 billion lottery industry. This episode of The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast now streaming for free on their website, in addition to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major social podcast platforms. “It was like nothing we had ever seen before,” said Rich in a recent interview. “We were dealing with someone on the inside who had found a way to game a system designed to be foolproof.” The scandal began to unravel in 2010 when a $14.3 million Hot Lotto jackpot went unclaimed for nearly a year. Eventually, a mysterious attempt to claim the prize emerged, through an anonymous trust in Belize. Suspicious of the secrecy, Rich and the Iowa Lottery refused to pay out. Iowa Lottery Fraud Which Led to Arrests and a Book. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “We had one simple rule: if we don't know who's behind the claim, we don't pay,” Rich explained. That decision kicked off a decade-long investigation, filled with twists and turns that investigators and journalists alike have described as “unbelievable.” Surveillance footage from a convenience store eventually led to the arrest of the primary suspect, the former information security director at the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms He used his privileged access to install a rootkit, a hidden piece of software, on the computer that generated winning numbers for the Hot Lotto game. This allowed him to predict and rig lottery outcomes in multiple states including Iowa, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Oklahoma. In 2015, the primary suspect was convicted on two counts of fraud for attempting to claim the Hot Lotto prize. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and later received a 25-year sentence for broader conspiracy charges. However, he was released on parole in 2022 after serving just five years. Iowa Lottery Fraud Which Led to Arrests and a Book. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. But the thief didn't act alone. The scandal, now dubbed “The Hot Lotto Fraud”, eventually exposed a network of co-conspirators including his brother, a former Texas Justice of the Peace, and a Texas businessman. All were involved in a scheme that dated back as far as 2005 and exploited specific calendar dates to produce predictable winning numbers. “They figured out how to rig a random number generator,” said veteran journalist Perry Beeman, who co-authored the book The $80 Billion Gamble with Rich. “It was the perfect crime, until it wasn't.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Their book, which is now available wherever books are sold, takes readers deep inside the case using court documents, phone calls, emails, and public records. It's part true crime, part white-collar investigation, and fully jaw-dropping. “We wrote the book not just to tell the story,” said Beeman, “but to show how transparency and relentless pursuit of the truth led to justice.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The story gained national attention, appearing in media outlets like CNN, CBS, 20/20, and The New York Times. Terry Rich also shared insights on various social media platforms, speaking candidly about the challenges his team faced. Iowa Lottery Fraud Which Led to Arrests and a Book. “When you realize someone on the inside is stealing from the public, it shakes your foundation,” Rich said in one Instagram video. “But we were committed to getting it right.” Following the scandal, Hot Lotto was discontinued in 2017, replaced by Lotto America. A subsequent lawsuit even saw a legitimate winner suing for damages after the jackpot he won had been reset due to the thieves' earlier rigged win. That case settled out of court in 2019. While the thieves crime stunned the country, Rich's role in uncovering it cemented his legacy. During his 25-year career, he not only led the Iowa Lottery to increase sales and profits by 50%, but also turned the Blank Park Zoo around financially and launched four successful businesses. His diverse career includes appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, executive roles in TV production, and creating other tv content. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radi Show on their website also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. “I've always believed in integrity, whether it's in business, media, or government,” Rich said. “That belief is what guided us through this entire ordeal.” Today, Rich continues to share the story through keynote speeches, podcasts, and online content, hoping to inspire a new generation of leaders to put honesty and public trust above all. The Iowa Lottery, which has raised more than $2 billion for state programs since its launch in 1985, continues to be a key player in national lotteries like Powerball, Mega Millions, and others. In fact, the largest prize ever won in Iowa came in October 2018, when one ticket claimed $343.9 million. Iowa Lottery Fraud Which Led to Arrests and a Book. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As Rich puts it: “The lottery is about hope, dreams, and fairness. We had to protect that, at any cost.” For those fascinated by cyber crime, insider deception, and the power of persistence, The $80 Billion Gamble offers a gripping and insightful read. And for anyone curious about how modern fraud can be exposed, even when hidden in plain sight, it's a story worth sharing across every platform: from Facebook to YouTube, from Apple to Spotify, and across the news media landscape.
