When considering which late-night show had the most interesting break during the Olympics, The Late Show definitely stood out. It all started when Stephen Colbert insisted he could interview anyone he chose, despite objections about equal-time rules. CBS offered vague responses, and Colbert playfully challenged them, suggesting he’d simply post the interview on YouTube if they wouldn’t allow it on TV. This back-and-forth continued for a week, resulting in CBS remaining noncommittal and The Late Show gaining a lot of views on YouTube. However, the situation was complicated by Donald Trump constantly changing the subject. While Colbert led the charge last week, this week marks the final live episode of The Late Show ever – a fact that adds an interesting layer of reflection to the whole situation. It’s been quite a ride, but Stephen Colbert is soon moving on.
