Comedian and former “Late Show” host David Letterman is speaking out against CBS’s decision to cancel his successor Stephen Colbert’s show. A video montage of Letterman roasting the network during his own tenure on “The Late Show” from 1993 to 2015 has sparked controversy, with many speculating that it was shared in response to the cancellation announcement.
Colbert addressed the news at a recent taping, saying he would be leaving the show after its 10-year run. The audience reacted with boos, and Colbert expressed his own sadness about the end of the program. Despite the negative reaction, Colbert seems unfazed, joking that it will be “fun” to move on.
Many comedians, including Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, and Jon Stewart, have come to Colbert’s defense in recent days. The network has cited financial reasons for the cancellation, but some speculate that politics may also play a role, given Colbert’s frequent criticism of President Trump.
