However, he was told the situatiion during one 15-minute conversation after an episode of his show.<\/p>\n Jimmy admitted that he was at the No Kings protest with his wife and children when he found at that his network series was being canceled.<\/p>\n Trying to show that he was still on Stephen’s side, Jimmy claimed that no one “had any balls” when it came telling him that his show was about to be over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Stephen went on to explain that the first person he told about his cancellation was his wife, who insisted he inform his staff right away.<\/p>\n “[Stephen’s wife] said, \u2018Are you going to tell the staff?’\u201d he remembered. \u201cI said, \u2018I don\u2019t know. Maybe I will tell them after the summer break.\u2019 She said, \u2018You are going to tell them tomorrow.\u2019 I said, \u2018I don\u2019t think so.\u2019 She said, \u2018I am coming to work with you tomorrow because I think you are telling your staff.\u2019 I get up in the elevator. I had sweat through my shirt. I didn\u2019t want to know anything my staff didn\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n Initially, Stephen admitted he only told his executive producers so it wouldn’t affect the rest of the employees amid taping. However, when the episode wrapped, Stephen told the crew and the audience, \u201cNobody leave. We have one more act of the show.\u201d<\/p>\n Even though the stage manager had said “we are done,” Stephen disputed.<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018No, there is one more act of the show. Please don\u2019t let the audience go.\u2019 [the stage manager] said, \u2018No, boss, we are done.\u2019 I said, \u2018I am aware of that. I am here to tell you there is one more act of the show,'” Stephen explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Stephen admitted that he was so nervous about breaking the news. He shared that when he first took the stage to make the announcement, the audience was chuckling, thinking it was a bit. However, when he said what he needed to, no one laughed.<\/p>\n \u201cI was so nervous about doing it,\u201d Stephen explained. \u201cThere was nothing on the prompter. I fucked up twice. I had to restart, and the audience thought it was a bit. They started going, \u2018You can do it. Come on Steve. You can do it.\u2019 I always messed up on the sentence that told them what was happening. I got to the sentence that told them what was happening, and they didn\u2019t laugh. They didn\u2019t laugh. That is it. That is how I did<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.the-express.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stephen Colbert got into how he found out that his long-running Late Show was canceled during his appearance on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
