> CBS has struck a deal to pay Lee Mendelson Film Productions, Inc., an undisclosed amount after “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” used the famed Vince Guaraldi composition “Linus and Lucy” in the late night talk show’s May finale. As part of the licensing agreement, Lee Mendelson Film Prods. will donate those proceeds to Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.
> World Central Kitchen is a non-for-profit org that provides meals throughout the globe during various crises, including natural disasters and civil unrest. Separately, on the penultimate episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” the show and Colbert had donated $2.5 million to WCK and Andrés.
fook you Bari Weiss
Someone’s trying to get good press… FUCK YOU BARI.
Notice that they never said how much… 😂
Love that the production company enforced this agreement and turned it into something philanthropic. The publicity is enough of a boost in this case, and either way it holds CBS accountable and hurts them where it counts.
Good for you, Stephen! Way to get in one last, final fuck you🖕🏻
this is amazing. fuck you bari. even my mother hates you and she’s a saint.
Omg. I was *so sure* they must have gotten permission for that bit in the finale. I can’t believe CBS let Colbert get away with that!
