Rob Schneider isn’t holding back. Fresh off his heated Fox News op-ed where he slammed Stephen Colbert for pushing what he called “liberal slop,” the Happy Gilmore 2 actor doubled down at a red carpet event last night.
The comedian, known for his unapologetic opinions and long-running friendship with Adam Sandler, tossed more shade Colbert’s way while chatting with Variety.
“Last time I checked we’re allowed to answer questions and give our opinions,” Schneider said. “I think I said what I needed to say there. Free speech is free speech, but it’s not free from consequences-and I prefer the old days of Johnny Carson.”

Schneider’s latest comments follow his op-ed that took direct aim at Colbert’s style of political comedy. In the column, the veteran actor accused the Late Show host of pushing away conservative voices and feeding a narrow audience.
“Colbert, like ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel, excluded conservatives completely from his show and limited his audience from hearing opposing viewpoints,” Schneider wrote.
He didn’t stop there. “Colbert fed liberal slop to his liberal-minded Kamala supporters and cared less about challenging them intellectually by actually appealing to their higher nature or engaging in thought-provoking debate.”
The comedian praised Paramount’s recent decision to move on from Colbert, saying it “took guts.” While many on the right often praise Johnny Carson for staying away from politics, Schneider’s example isn’t without its flaws. Carson did crack jokes about politicians and even welcomed Bill Clinton onto his show in 1988.
Still, Schneider clearly prefers Carson’s measured approach to the high-decibel political jabs common in today’s late-night scene.
A vocal supporter of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, Schneider hasn’t wavered in his stance. And judging by his recent tone, he’s not about to.
As Happy Gilmore 2 ramps up buzz ahead of its release, Schneider seems just as interested in punching up on stage as he is off it. Colbert hasn’t publicly responded, but if history’s any clue, this war of words may not be over.
