In a revelation that has sent shockwaves across both the entertainment and political landscapes, late-night host Stephen Colbert has openly admitted that he understands why fellow stars Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres chose to leave the United States.

Colbert, who was recently fired in a stunning move that blindsided fans and colleagues alike, confessed that he too is considering following in their footsteps. The candid statement has sparked a frenzy of speculation about whether one of television’s sharpest political commentators and satirists could actually walk away from America’s media stage.

“When I look at what Rosie and Ellen went through, I get it now. The pressure, the scrutiny, the endless fight — sometimes leaving feels like the only way to breathe again,” Colbert reportedly said.

The firing has already raised heated debates: was it a clash with network executives, mounting political tensions, or a broader shift in the direction of late-night television? Whatever the cause, Colbert’s comments suggest that his removal was more than just a professional setback — it may have been the last straw.

For decades, Colbert has been one of the most fearless voices in late-night TV, unafraid to take on powerful figures with sharp wit and bold satire. His potential departure from the U.S. would not only mark the end of an era but also serve as a symbolic statement about the current climate in American media and politics.

Fans are left wondering: will Colbert truly pack his bags and follow Rosie and Ellen abroad, or will he rise again, reinventing himself in an entirely new platform or country?

One thing is certain: this story is far from over.
