      Without CBS unceremoniously ousting him from The Late Show, Colbert said he’s not sure when he would’ve departed on his own. “You can’t do this forever. You have to think about it, ‘Well, when is the right time to end your tenure?’ I didn’t think this soon,” Colbert, 62, told People on Tuesday.

      “Who knows? Maybe CBS saved my life,” he said, “because it takes a lot of bone marrow to do the show every day.”

    2. I dont know why but i find him so unlikable and this feels like he is coping so hard. I want to like him but he comes off as such a pompous know it all. He seems like a good person but he is at times quite unlikable. Its quite odd to be honest.

      Stephen Colbert earned millions of dollars per year to work 2 days a week (Monday they tape Monday and Tuesday shows, Tuesday they tape Wednesday and Thursday shows) and he got every single week with a holiday off, all to talk to famous people for a living. That’s why he stayed so long. Extremely cushy gig.

    4. This show isn’t over yet? It feels like it’s been 84 years since it was canceled.

      He should do what Jon Stewart has been doing and host The daily show once a week or bring back the Colbert report.

    6. Oh because the show is hard. I thought he meant he gonna be a target for MAGA crazies.
