Much has been said about Stephen Colbert’s May 21 curtain call on The Late Show. In fact, Colbert often jokes about it on air. But with less than a month to go, the late-night host sat down with the New York Times for a more serious assessment of the show’s finale.
Stephen Colbert told the New York Times he believes "two things can be true" about CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show," amid rumors that the network's decision to axe the late night series was made to appease President Trump.
Oprah Winfrey swung by to tell Mr. Colbert that she needed to “say goodbye.” Jake Tapper came armed with a farewell gift. Billy Crystal sang him a song. The audience ovations are getting louder and louder.
