Late Show legend David Letterman appears to be making his feeling about his successor Stephen Colbert’s cancelation quite clear—even if he hasn’t said anything publicly. Letterman’s eponymous YouTube account has posted multiple Colbert and CBS-related videos since CBS’ shock announcement on Thursday that it would cancel The Late Show next year following the 2025-2026 season.
