Goodbye Stephen

 

We've watched or recorded and watched later all the late shows for years.  I loved David Letterman and Jay Leno.  I miss them.  They left on their own choice and are both enjoying retirement.  However, what happened to Stephen Colbert was disgusting.  I am copying this so I don't get it wrong:

CBS officially cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as an economic decision, as the network cited the show was operating at a reported loss of up to \(\$50\) million a year in the changing late-night landscape. 

However, the decision sparked widespread controversy and debate, as it occurred only three days after Colbert openly criticized the network's parent company, Paramount, for agreeing to a \(\$16\) million legal settlement with Donald Trump. While CBS maintained that ending the show was strictly financial, the timing led to accusations from critics and former colleagues that the cancellation was influenced by the political dynamics of the Trump administration and a lucrative Paramount-Skydance merger. 

I hope this backfires on CBS and Stephen Colbert ends up more famous and financially better off than he already is.  

Here are the guests on his show last night:

What a lineup and what a touching show!  

Stephen Colbert is, in every sense, a true gentleman. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his show, and I will sincerely miss him.
