CBS, Colbert and Late Show
Digest more
Supporters of Stephen Colbert took to the streets of New York City following the cancellation of The Late Show. The demonstrators gathered outside the Ed Sullivan Theater and marched to Paramount’s Times Square headquarters.
Kicking off Monday’s show with a joke about Trump wanting to change the name of the Washington Commanders NFL team (the “Washington Epsteins,” Colbert suggested), he walked into the Ed Sullivan Theater to loud cheers and said “This is going to be fun.” It certainly was.
If anyone was wondering, Jon Stewart is pretty pissed that Paramount and CBS made the decision to end long-running series The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, leaving Stewart’s longtime colleague and friend without a job come May.
