1. Well, guess this is what you get for speaking the truth to power at CBS.

Shameful! This is the only CBS show I watch anymore, so it'll be easy to turn my back after Colbert is off the air.

3. I try not to tune in early since the Albany, NY CBS affiliate is now a Sinclair station

Usually I only see the end of sports and weather, but I've noticed they never say "Stay tuned for Stephen Colbert" anymore.

4. Joy Reid has her own independent show, same for Katie Phang

But Stephen Colbert said no one will be replacing him and didn't sound like he had any plans, but then he was only told the afternoon before the show. He's friends with all the other late night guys from when the five of them formed Strike Force Five during the writers' strike and I heard that Jimmy Kimmel, in particular, spoke out for his friend.

5. The man is a class act.

What would you do if you knew you'd be fired in ten months, but not before then.

I'd go wild! I hope he does.
