Ya missed the part about his son, Peter McGee, being a co-writer, as reported by the AP.
This movie is already a huge failure.
I'm going to miss Stephen Colbert and The Late Show. I'm going to be watching a lot of reruns and old shows I never did see. Thanks for being there Mr Colbert😊😊😢
Missing you already Stephen ❤️ Your wit & sense of humor has been a blessing to get us this far in this sea of disbelief
We'll keep the light on for you!
Nooooooooo. Bring back the Colbert Report!
Woke 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👏🤮🤮🤮
Good for him. It's sad to see less of him in future, but he deserves to do what makes him happy.
And this for sure is gonna make him happy lol. I wish him the best.
Well, they ruined star wars, now they'll ruin the anti-authoritarian masterpiece lord of the rings 😟 rip lotr 🕊
Stephen deserves it, such a talent!
Boooo!! Life won't be th same without Th Late Show.

Thanks for the up date. Ill be sure to never watch anything Jackson produces. A couple of losers imo
This is going to suck so hard
OVER THE MOON HAPPY THAT YOU GET A DREAM PROJECT- LOOKING FORWARD TO IT – GOD BLESS YOU IN ALL YOU DO XOXO
Who is this, reading this news? I'm generally not so critical–But, so annoying. I can't even listen to her!
When man closes a door, God opens a bay window to bask in His glory. Stephen has received the third greatest gift at a time when he’s still youngish and full of life. On the other hand, I hoped he continue informing us with his impish style. I pray he realizes the public loves him and needs him. Hopefully he’ll do a podcast. 🤞
He loves the books! I am so excited for him! I will miss him dearly but can’t wait to see him in this project
He's a self absorbed jerk ..a fake Christian .. hate is deplored by God
Congratulations 🎉
