Stephen Colbert will receive a prestigious new award for refusing to cave to censorship by Trump’s administration.
The former Late Show host, whose termination was announced just days after he called out the show’s parent company, Paramount, for paying Trump $16.5 million to settle his lawsuit against 60 Minutes, will receive the Columbus Foundation’s anti-censorship award.
Colbert will be presented the award at the 47th annual American Book Awards on September 26 at the University of California-Berkeley campus. Last year’s recipient was the axed former MSNBC host Joy Reid, whose show was cut during the revamped network’s bloodbath firings that year.
