During his opening monologue for the October 30th episode of The Late Show<\/a>, Stephen Colbert admitted that “we may have hit rock bottom this week.”<\/p>\n The talk show host<\/a> was discussing the dictionary.com word of the year, which is “6 7,” a popular term among Generation Alpha, popularized on TikTok<\/a>. The term has no definitive meaning.<\/p>\n Colbert said to his live audience, \u201cWe may have hit rock bottom this week, because dictionary.com has picked the term six-seven as the 2025 word of the year. Mm-mm. No. Word of the year has to be a word, not numbers. Okay?\u201d<\/p>\n The audience burst into laughter as he continued, \u201cSome things can\u2019t be numbers. This is worse than when Playboy announced their Playmate of the year was 8.\u201d He then gave his best guess at what the term means. He explained to viewers that anytime the numbers six, seven, or “any number at all” appear, Gen Alpha will begin to say the term “6 7” in response.<\/p>\n \u201cAs in, \u2018what time do you get off work?\u2019 \u20186 7.\u2019 Or, \u2018how many cookies did you eat?\u2019 \u20186-7\u2019,\u201d he joked. \u201cOn a scale of one to ten, how dumb does Stephen feel explaining this? 6 7.\u201d He also explained that the term originated from the song DootDoot(67) by the rapper Skrilla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This lighthearted segment comes just months after CBS<\/a> announced that The Late Show will end its run<\/a> in May 2026 and that the network will retire the entire Late Show franchise.<\/p>\n According to the network\u2019s statement, the decision was \u201cpurely\u2026financial against a challenging backdrop in late night,\u201d despite ongoing political tension between late-night television and the Trump administration.<\/p>\n CBS emphasized that the cancellation was \u201cnot related in any way to the show\u2019s performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n During the show\u2019s July 17 taping, Stephen Colbert told the audience that he had learned of the decision only the previous night. He said, \u201cIt\u2019s not just the end of our show, but it\u2019s the end of The Late Show on CBS. I\u2019m not being replaced. This is all just going away.\u201d<\/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":" During his opening monologue for the October 30th episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert admitted that “we may have hit rock bottom this week.” The talk show host was discussing the dictionary.com word of the year, which is “6 7,” a popular term among Generation Alpha, popularized on TikTok.
