On Monday night, Stephen Colbert warned his audience that the end was near — the end of Glenn Beck’s program.
“Folks, it’s the day we all feared would come,” Colbert said. “The GlennPocalypse.”
Rumors have circulated recently that Fox News may not renew Beck’s contract, as his show has shed viewers and advertisers, and, according to one report, led Fox’s reporters to complain in private that Beck was tarnishing their credibiity.
“Just look at these anchors,” Colbert said, pointing to a collage of Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and others. “I can’t imagine anything lowering their credibility.”
In the event that Beck does go off the air, Colbert will be prepared. In a parody of Beck’s disaster survival backpack, Colbert introduced his own “Beckpack,” a backpack adorned with Beck’s face and filled with Beck’s books and cans of his condensed essence.
