Stephen Colbert took Emmys Step after the “The Late Show’s” win for outstanding conversation series on Sunday evening. His victory was one of the most celebrated in the evening, which caused the crowd to break out in songs by “Stephen.”
“Think of the kids,” was joking Colbert and nodded to host Nate Bargatze’s donation gimmick. He then opened about what it was like to start his service at “The Late Show.”
“Ten years ago, in September 2015, Spike Jonze stopped at my office and said:” Hello, what do you want this show to be about? “, Said Colbert.” I said, ‘Spike, I don’t know how you could do it, but I would like to do a comedy show in the evening that was about love. I don’t know if I ever thought about it, but at a certain point – and you can guess what that point was – I realized that in some ways we made a late night comedy show about loss.
“It’s related to love, because sometimes you just really know how much you love something when you get the feeling that you might lose it,” Colbert continued. “Ten years later, in September 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to get you down, go crazy and put on the higher floor.”
Only three shows were nominated for the category this year: Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”, ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and CBS “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Although Colbert’s victory was earned, it was one of the evening’s most bitter -cute moments.
In July, CBS announced that it would end “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as well as the entire “Late Show” franchise in March 2026. Although this cancellation came after Colbert criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramouunt Global has, to settle with Donald Trump during his “60 minute” process, “” ” The cancellation has been criticized throughout Hollywood, especially among those in comedy.
