With that announcement on Sunday night from 7-time Emmy award winning actor Bryan Cranston, the crowd at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles went absolutely wild. For nearly a full minute, the audience celebrated Colbert as the CBS late night host and members of his team made their way to the stage. Stephen! Stephen! The crowd chanted as the Late Show with Stephen Colbert won the Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Sunday night, its first victory in the category after eight straight losses.

Stephen Colbert might be off CBS's late-night schedule, but he won't be off New Yorkers' radar anytime soon. Today, September 8, MoveOn is staging a very New York protest-slash-celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert -and to rail against CBS's sudden cancellation of the top-rated late-night show. The hook is a Colbert lookalike contest where bespectacled superfans compete to see who can best channel the host's trademark arched eyebrow and deadpan delivery. Judges include a few surprise celebrity names, and prizes will be doled out alongside plenty of Colbert-inspired swag.

Colbert has continued being political following the announcement, knocking Paramount as morally bankrupt over their settlement with Trump. He took that show, which was a great platform in nighttime television at the Ed Sullivan Theater, and completely drove it into the ground, Kelly argued on her show.

Colbert announced to his audience that after ten years, 'next year will be our last season' and acknowledged shared disappointment over the show's cancellation.
