Stephen Colbert kini semakin dekat dengan penampilan terakhirnya di The Late Show, CBS. Jaringan tersebut menyatakan keputusan ini murni didasari pertimbangan finansial. Namun, dalam wawancara terbarunya, Colbert mengungkapkan bahwa ia kerap ditanyai untuk 'membela' keberadaan acara malam hari.
Jimmy Kimmel, rekan sesama pembawa acara malam hari, menanggapinya dengan keras. Pada Senin (12/8), Colbert mengadakan reuni dengan kelompok "Strike Force Five" yang juga dihadiri Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, dan Kimmel sendiri. Dalam diskusi santai tersebut, mereka saling meledek soal pembatalan acara Colbert sembari mengenang masa-masa bersama.
Colbert pun mengungkapkan keluhannya: "Pertanyaan ini sudah saya dengar berkali-kali dalam 10 bulan terakhir. Mereka bilang, 'Bela acara malam hari.' Saya jawab, 'Apa maksudnya? Kenapa acara ini harus dipertahankan?'"
