Colbert recalls Late Show grind as 'poison', quips on Kimmel after Emmy win
Stephen Colbert told Jimmy Kimmel that working on The Late Show felt like 'drinking poison' every night, describing the job as a hazardous grind before the camera. The remarks came as CBS canceled the show and Colbert celebrated seven Emmys for its final season. He also teased Bari Weiss and, afterward, suggested he now avoids the daily news to keep sane, praising his writers for making the show better.
