It is suspected that Paramount did not renew Stephen Colbert’s contract because they were afraid of donald trump, and they wanted the Skydance merger to go through, which it did.
So now that Colbert is a week away from his last episode of The Late Show, he invited David Letterman, the only other man to have the job, to be a guest on the late night talk show.
What did they do? A first for Colbert, but something Letterman loved to do. They threw stuff off of the roof of The Ed Sullivan Theater at the CBS Eye logo! Things that went crashing down to the street were chairs, watermelons, and a goodbye cake from CBS.
When it was all done, it was time for a goodbye message to their former employer from the two hosts who kept the show alive for nearly 33 years. Letterman quoted Edward R. Murrow with his own twist, “Good night. Good luck. Mother fuckers!”
And they are going to need it, because the only people watching Byron Allen’s show are the ones who fell asleep with the television on during the 11 O’clock news.
