Stephen Colbert ‘wore people out’ with self-staged tributes, per source
Stephen Colbert’s farewell was seemingly stretched after the cancellation of his talk show, “The Late Show.” Within a day of the airing of the final episode, the comedian returned to the entertainment and news business. He hosted Michigan public access TV’s “Only In Monroe” and interviewed Jack White and Jeff Daniels.
A source told the National Enquirer that Colbert has allegedly been trying to “reinvent” himself. “But he needs to recognize that the endless tributes he staged for himself during his prolonged farewell run of episodes wore people out,” they added.
In the final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” many celebrity guests made appearances to wish the host farewell. Some of the A-listers included Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Reynolds, Bryan Cranston, Jon Stewart, Steven Spielberg, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows, Tig Notaro, and Paul McCartney.
He recalled his time on the iconic set and took a walk down memory lane. However, the insider claimed that Colbert was “truly taken off guard” when he learned about the show’s cancellation. They advised that the 62-year-old should seemingly “step back” and “take a breath.” According to them, the producer should give more time to thinking about his future career plans. Moreover, Colbert should brainstorm “seriously about what he wants the next ten years of his career to be like.”
The source hinted that people might not be interested in watching Colbert “re-litigate his cancellation” from the CBS show. “If he can’t find his authentic voice again, nobody is going to care, and nobody is going to tune in,” they added.
