As ‘The Late Show’ nears its final bow, #StephenColbert opens up about the cancellation that shocked the industry, the win of going out as a “martyr” and his next act in Middle-earth.
Last July, @colbert looked straight to camera and announced that his 11th season of 'The Late Show' would be his last. CBS, whose parent company, Paramount, was in the midst of closing a multibillion-dollar merger with David Ellison’s Skydance that required the Trump administration’s approval, insisted it was “purely a financial decision.” But the choice to cancel the No. 1 show in late night raised more than a few eyebrows, particularly as it came just two weeks after Paramount had agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle a controversial lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview.
"I know that the show had to end at some time. I did not expect it to end this way." Read the full cover story at the link in bio.

Consider this Stephen Colbert’s exit interview.
On an April afternoon in New York City, @colbert settled in for the first of two wide-ranging conversations about his surprise cancellation, his Hollywood future and the real reason his studio audience is told, in no uncertain terms, not to boo Trump.
“I knew that the show had to end at some time,” he tells THR. “I did not expect it to end this way. But my staff are the only people I’m worried about.” Read the full story at the link in bio.
