John Oliver has weighed in on CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," calling it "terrible news for the world of comedy."
In 1993, he started working as a writer-producer on Late Night with David Letterman, which aired on NBC. Burnett ultimately made the move to CBS with Letterman when The Late Show was picked up at that network.

The network claimed it was “purely a financial decision.” “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘The Late Show’ franchise in May of 2026,” CBS executives’ statement read. “We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”
Joaquin Phoenix says he regrets his infamous interview with David Letterman, in which he remained in character for the entire, awkward conversation.
