Stephen Colbert Wins

Stephen Colbert recently won an Emmy, a sweet victory after his show, *The Late Show*, was canceled by CBS earlier this year. Many believed the cancellation was done to please Donald Trump and smooth the way for a merger with Skydance and Paramount. Colbert used his Emmy acceptance speech – broadcast on CBS itself – as an opportunity to subtly respond to both his network and Trump, though he remained dignified and didn’t mention them directly. The audience enthusiastically chanted his name as he took the stage. In his speech, Colbert reflected on his show’s journey, saying he initially hoped to create a comedy show centered around love, but that it ultimately became a show about loss, referencing the recent changes at the network.

During the awards show, Stephen Colbert jokingly addressed the upcoming end of *The Late Show*. While presenting the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, he quipped, “Is anyone hiring?” He then playfully offered the show’s staff as potential candidates, available in June, and even presented his own resume. He joked about needing a new headshot, referencing a trip to Istanbul, and asked Harrison Ford to pass it along to Steven Spielberg, suggesting a movie idea. It was a funny moment that many viewers enjoyed.
