Jon Stewart lambasted CBS’ decision to cancel “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," ripping their shared parent company for what he called a capitulation to Trump.
Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.
Given that the last “celebrity” in the crowd was a cartoon Donald Trump, seemingly drawn in the style of the Colbert-produced Tooning Out The News, Miranda said, “Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on.”
"I reached out to him, and I remember… he called me back. I was in a hotel room in Portland," Maron recalled. "And he goes, ‘Hey, you know, it's, it's Jon Stewart.' I'm like, ‘Hey man, how you doing?'" Maron then proceeded to explain the podcast he was doing and invited him to participate. Stewart replied, "I'm not doing that."
