David Letterman's Scathing Six-Word Attack on CBS Over Colbert’s Cancellation
SHOCKING TV TWIST!
David Letterman, the legendary late-night host, has just dropped a BOMB on YouTube, and it's got everyone talking!
The 78-year-old comedy icon posted a sizzling-hot video that's over 20 minutes long - and trust us, it's WORTH THE WAIT! In this scorching hot montage, Letterman is taking aim at none other than CBS, his former employer from 1993 to 2015.
Captioned "You can't spell CBS without BS," the clip features eight hilarious clips spanning two decades, from 1994 to 2013. And let's just say, it's NOT holding back! Letterman is giving CBS a piece of his mind, and we're talking ROASTING them like they're a juicy steak at a BBQ!
But wait, there's more! Stephen Colbert, the beloved host of The Late Show, has also been getting in on the action. After the shocking news broke that his show was being cancelled by CBS (yes, the same network Letterman is taking aim at!), Colbert returned to his program with a vengeance.
Colbert told his audience that he's not buying the excuse that the cancellation was "purely financial" - and we're talking RED FLAG here! He pointed out that ratings-wise, The Late Show is still going strong. So what's really going on?
Colbert didn't mince words, folks. He said it like it is: "I don't care for him [Donald Trump]. Doesn't seem to have the skill set to be president." And then, he read a passage from a Trump social media post, saying that Colbert was "untalented" and had been fired.
Colbert's response? A resounding "How dare you, sir!" He even went so far as to say that if Trump didn't like him, well, that's okay. But don't try to silence him or take away his show!
And speaking of Colbert, he also took aim at the $16 million settlement CBS paid out to settle a lawsuit with none other than Donald Trump himself! (Yep, you heard that right - the guy who likes to tweet like it's 1999!)
Colbert introduced some special guests on his show, including "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who sang a rousing rendition of Coldplay's Viva La Vida. And let's just say, it was a real PARTY in the studio!
But what really got our attention was when Colbert turned serious for a moment to address all the people who have been rallying behind him since the cancellation announcement. He said that some folks might see this as the end of an era - and while he loves himself (who doesn't?), he thinks there's more to it.
"Or," he said, "changing how you felt the next morning when you watched on your phone, which is why broadcast TV is dying." OUCH!
And then, things got REALLY interesting. On his own show, Colbert brought out some special guests of his own - including fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver (and we're talking all-star lineup here!).
Stewart, in particular, delivered an impassioned defense of his friend Colbert, saying that it's futile to try to please Trump (good luck with that one, buddy!). He even suggested that giving in to Trump's demands would be like "giving away the farm" - and we're talking FARMING for a cause here!
So there you have it, folks! The drama, the intrigue, the TRUTH-TELLING - it's all going down on THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT. And if you want to get in on the action, trust us - you won't be disappointed!
