‘Late Night’ host Stephen Colbert revealed the one thing he’ll miss the most about his CBS show, which is slated for cancellation next week, during a special episode of the “Strike Force Five” podcast with fellow late-night hosts Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon.
“I think one of the things I’m going to miss most is young people who are good at their jobs,” Colbert said. ”And who you met, and they were first out of college or something like that. Like, I was talking to one of my producers the other day. He’s worked for me for 21 years, and he started working for me when he was 21.”
“Unbelievable,” Meyers responded.
CBS made the decision last year to cancel the long-running show after 11 seasons with Colbert at the helm, citing low ratings.
However, many people suggested at the time the true reason for the show’s cancellation was the host’s political views, as CBS’s parent company, Paramount Global, is owned by David Ellison, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump.
“I have had a great relationship with CBS. It’s one of the reasons why this was so surprising and so shocking that there was no preamble to this,” Colbert said following the network’s announcement.
As the show comes to a close, Colbert has stacked his last two weeks with a stellar lineup of guests, including former President Barack Obama, actor Tom Hanks, “Hamilton” star Christopher Jackson and former “Late Night” host David Letterman, just to name a few.
