The late-night talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert recently won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Series for the final time, following CBS’s decision to cancel the show earlier this year. During his acceptance speech, Colbert highlighted the importance of his writing staff and encouraged potential employers to hire them, noting their talent and professionalism.
In a touching moment, Colbert expressed gratitude to his audience and particularly to his wife, Evie, for their support during the pandemic. He mentioned that the show’s cancellation was a “purely financial decision” by CBS, despite previous controversies involving the network and President Trump.
