If you are a television personality on a major network, I think it’s a major mistake not to own your name in .com.
Stephen Colbert had done The Colbert Report from 2005 to 2014 and been on CBS with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert since September 2015.
He does not have the Twitter handle @stephencolbert, that account is suspended. He uses @stephenathome. He has 18.8 million followers.
StephenColbert.com was left to expire by a Web Design and Marketing firm out of the U.K. The domain was registered back in 2005 around the time Colbert started the Colbert Report. The domain name was pointing to StephenColbert.co.uk of Stephen Colbert Racing. That was the last record archive.org had in 2009.
Since then it looks like it was blank. The auction ended at $633 chicken feed for what Colbert makes.

I hope Trump2020 picked that domain name up and redirect to Trump2020
Ever since Trump was elected, all his monologue is all about anti-Trump and kinda boring .

I think trump organization is too busy buying up domains similar to “trumpsucks.com” obviously they see a lot of intrinsic value in theses URLs they own about 2000 of them
They are in negotiations to buy dumbasatrump.com that was hand regged recently,,but I think his supporters are outbidding him for that.
Tom Shanahan says
I have three Spanish “Trump” dotcom, election-oriented, domain names. Where can I offer them for sale to both Trump supporters and his campaign?
Domainer says
Colbert was an ‘average’ comedian before 2016. After that, he became a ‘one song’ band. He is no longer a comedian but an ‘anti-Trumper’.
I immediately switch channels when he comes on. I wish CBS would drop him. (And, I’m a democrat)
John says
As a moderate I totally agree with Domainer. I thought he was hilarious before Trump got elected and now he tells the same joke every night. Incredibly lame.
