David Letterman to Return to ‘Late Show’ After Blasting CBS as ‘Lying Weasels’: The host will help send off the show he created.

**Snippet:**

* David Letterman may think executives at CBS are “lying weasels,” but that won’t stop him from returning once more to help send off The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
* **Letterman, 79, will join Colbert, 61, on May 14, CBS announced**. His upcoming appearance will be just his second since handing over The Late Show desk to Colbert in 2015. His last appearance in 2023 was a ratings boon for the show during the writers’ strike.
* **News of Letterman’s return ahead of Colbert’s last show on May 21 also follows a string of incendiary comments about Colbert’s ousting.**
* On Tuesday, Letterman shaded the network as “lying weasels” for firing Colbert in an extensive interview with The New York Times. **“He was dumped because** the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?” Letterman said.
* **“I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing. They’re lying weasels,” he added.**

Sad, but true…

Late night is just a shadow of what it once was, and once Colbert is gone, it’s dead to me.

kimmel is too political, and Fallon is just unwatchable.
