In his first show since a controversy erupted over a Comedy Central tweet about one of his skits last week, Stephen Colbert poked fun at the media, his network and himself Monday night, declaring that despite a #CancelColbert campaign against his show on Twitter, "I'm still here."
The tweet in question, you'll recall, referred to a Colbert skit that aired Wednesday in which he made fun of the Washington Redskins and the team's owner, Dan Snyder, for creating the Original Americans Foundation rather than change the NFL team's mascot, as critics have demanded.
Colbert responded to the controversy on The Colbert Report last night by saying he would shut down the imaginary foundation that had sparked fury among his critics. The most vocal of those has been Suey Park, who tweets under the nickname Angry Asian Woman and who began the #CancelColbert campaign.
