Toons After Dark: Tooning Out The News (2020)

 Stephen Colbert's other animated spin-off from The Late Show figures to be around a while.

Tooning Out The News bowed last year, both as a featurette on The Late Show, and as an ongoing series on Paramount+. Colbert serves as executive producer, but is not yet a voice actor on the show. Like, say for example, South Park, Tooning focuses on current events, and the development of interviews recalls Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast or even Weird Al Yankovic's mock-up interviews.

With Our Cartoon President having ended, that doesn't mean that Donald Trump and his sycophants, such as MyPillow CEO-founder Mike Lindell, aren't targets. That's what Tooning is for.


Episode length varies between 5 and 45 minutes. If you've got Paramount+, check it out. You'll be glad you did. Unless you're a Republican.

Rating: A.
