After Stephen Colbert announced "The Late Show" was being canceled by CBS, fellow late-night hosts Jon Stewart, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, plus other hosts and comedians, showed up to support him.
Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.
Stephen Colbert is making headlines as The Late Show approaches its final season. In a rare show of late-night unity, Colbert welcomed Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver on Monday night’s episode following CBS’s decision to cancel the program.
The gag started with Miranda and Weird Al coming out to perform a song – a Coldplay song, in fact, a reference to the Astronomer scandal, which saw the CEO resigning after getting caught with the company’s HR chief on a kiss-cam at a recent concert from Chris Martin’s band.
I am your host,” Fallon said as he opened his monologue on NBC’s “Tonight Show” before adding: “Well, at least for tonight.”
After The Late Show With Stephen Colbert got axed by CBS, allegedly due to political pressure, President Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel’s show could be next to go. He further stated that The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon would follow.
