I commented on a WaPo story about this that the writer's strike is a lucky break for Colbert in this respect, at least. As much as he liked Licht, it would have been impossible to ignore this very public debacle in his monologues. On Wednesday, June 7, 2023 at 1:40:48 PM UTC-4 PGage wrote: >

I can’s decide if I should loathe or feel sorry for this guy. I guess both. He was used badly by Zaslov and then dumped. But he was never more than a Wambsgans, and deserves what he gets (which of course will include millions of dollars). Meanwhile, it’s not like WBD is suddenly going to decide to
