**Snippet:**
* David Letterman may think executives at CBS are “lying weasels,” but that won’t stop him from returning once more to help send off The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
* **Letterman, 79, will join Colbert, 61, on May 14, CBS announced**. His upcoming appearance will be just his second since handing over The Late Show desk to Colbert in 2015. His last appearance in 2023 was a ratings boon for the show during the writers’ strike.
* **News of Letterman’s return ahead of Colbert’s last show on May 21 also follows a string of incendiary comments about Colbert’s ousting.**
* On Tuesday, Letterman shaded the network as “lying weasels” for firing Colbert in an extensive interview with The New York Times. **“He was dumped because** the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?” Letterman said.
* **“I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing. They’re lying weasels,” he added.**
I grew up on Letterman and will be watching.
Sad, but true…
Late night is just a shadow of what it once was, and once Colbert is gone, it’s dead to me.
kimmel is too political, and Fallon is just unwatchable.
David Letterman is a smug, glib, cranky curmudgeon full of snark and vitriol and I miss him something terrible. Tell ‚em exactly how it hangs, Dave. *Tell them!*
Don’t blame Colbert. Silence 20 years
I really hate how comedy has declined in the US. All comedians have going for them is touring and podcasts and hope they land a netflix special
Dave also concludes eloquently stating, “Oh yeah…. Fuck them too.”
People hasn’t moved on from this yet? It’s been obvious for a while now that late night shows is in decline.
Screaming about lying weasels or censorship won’t solve/change anything
Shave the ridiculous beard first Dave or at least trim it down.
I’m hoping Colbert returns to doing sketch. He was amazing in Exit 57 and Strangers With Candy.
That is so cool! I will watch the Late show one last time. Too bad Norm can’t be there.
I was a huge Letterman fan back in his heyday but now find him boring, pretentious and self absorbed. I think his ego has completely taken over.
I’m going to watch that, and then never anything on CBS ever again.
The married guy who was banging his employees is calling someone else a lying weasel?
