For the left, 2026 will be a sad year in the realm of late night comedy because The Late Show host Stephen Colbert will depart the scene in May. For everyone else, the CBS host’s Monday ode to the Soviet Union with Puck News Washington correspondent Julia Ioffe was a good reminder of why they will not miss him.
After discussing current events, Colbert asked, “So, okay, you have a new book. You have a new book called Motherland. What's it about?”
Ioffe replied that, “It's about Soviet and Russian women, and it's about Russian history and Soviet history told from the perspective of women. I pitched this book in early 2018 because after spending all of 2017 talking about Trump and Putin, I was so sick of talking about those two men, and I have not wanted to talk about them again, and here we are.”
