\n\tColbert\u2019s final Late Show<\/em> episode also marked the tip of the franchise launched by former host David Letterman in 1993. Letterman, who himself weighed in on the Late Show<\/em> cancellation, calling it \u201cpure cowardice\u201d on CBS\u2019 part, previously stopped by Colbert\u2019s show as a guest in 2023 in his first time on The Late Show<\/em> since he retired in 2015. During their conversation, they compared notes on their respective experiences hosting the CBS late night program. And Colbert recalled how he\u2019d asked for Letterman\u2019s advice, which led to the present host\u2019s desk being on the opposite side of the stage, and made a particular request.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI asked if there was a spot to cover \u2026 from my producers,\u201d Colbert said. \u201cYou said, \u2018Yes \u2026 it\u2019s great since it\u2019s close enough you possibly can hear the producers calling for you, they usually won\u2019t know where you’re.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThey\u2019ve never found me,\u201d Colbert continued. \u201cHowever the secret could be they\u2019re not looking. They may not care if I show up.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMy problem was I couldn\u2019t hide from anybody, and it shortened my life\u201d Letterman said. \u201cI don\u2019t find out about you but I couldn\u2019t leave the constructing until it was dark \u2014\u00a0and really, really dark. I\u2019d be so embarrassed.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLetterman also marveled at how nice the theater, which was renovated before Colbert took over, had change into.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cLadies and gentlemen, that is television of the long run,\u201d Letterman said. \u201cI feel it\u2019s delightful. I used to be within the dressing room \u2014\u00a0and by the way in which, the dressing room is nicer than the nicest hotel I\u2019ve ever stayed in in my life. I\u2019ll be here through Christmas. \u2026 They’ve snacks within the dressing room \u2014 and a menu.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve fixed it up a bit,\u201d Colbert said.<\/p>\n \n\tLetterman, who\u2019s recently lashed out at CBS execs, calling them \u201clying weasels,\u201d for his or her decision to cancel The Late Show<\/em>, returned per week before Colbert\u2019s final episode aired, where the 2 threw some set furniture off of the roof and onto the CBS eye logo on the road below.<\/p>\n \n\tThroughout the interview segment, Letterman again complimented Colbert\u2019s revamp of the studio, likening it to \u201cthe Bellagio.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI’ll say, and I even have every right to be pissed off, so I\u2019ll pissed off here just a little bit, because this theater, you folks wouldn\u2019t be on this theater if it weren\u2019t for me, and Stephen wouldn\u2019t be here if it weren\u2019t for me, and we rebuilt this theater, after which Stephen got here in and take a look at this, it\u2019s just like the Bellagio,\u201d Letterman said. \u201cAs all of us understand, you possibly can take a person\u2019s show, you possibly can\u2019t take a person\u2019s voice, in order that\u2019s the excellent news on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Colbert\u2019s final Late Show episode also marked the tip of the franchise launched by former host David Letterman in 1993.
