Stephen Colbert

So this is, she's an incredible liar.

Everyone on their phones, Google it, 40 weather stations in the Pacific Palisades.

It never went above 40 miles per hour.

She is referencing the Altadena fire.

Mayor Bass?

Depends on what?

Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, which will be airing its final episode next month, said in a recent interview that he was, quote, discouraged by the network from being topical when he first joined as host.

The comedian gained notoriety hosting the Comedy Central News satire show The Colbert Report from 2005 until 2014.

He then took over hosting the late show in 2015 following David Letterman's departure.

Colbert said the 2016 party conventions were a turning point for him to return to his political background, with the outlet claiming that ratings soared when he started outright Trump bashing.

Colbert had been vocally opposed to CBS's decision to pull the plug on his show, which they say was, quote, purely a financial decision, with one report stating that the program was losing $40 million annually, as well as a falling viewership.

Colbert said, quote, I do not have any desire to debate them over what they say their business model is and how it does not work for them.

But less than two years before they called to say it's over, they were very eager for me to be signed for a long time.

So something changed.

We had no idea what we were doing.

And we thought that the answer was, what if we just worked 24 hours a day?

Wouldn't that make things funnier?

And it made things weirder because you would fall into a chemo psychosis.

And not have any sense.

And I go back and I watch those sketches.
