\u2018Late Night\u2019 host Stephen Colbert revealed the one thing he\u2019ll miss the most about his CBS show, which is slated for cancellation next week, during a special episode of the \u201cStrike Force Five\u201d<\/a> podcast with fellow late-night hosts Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think one of the things I\u2019m going to miss most is young people who are good at their jobs,\u201d Colbert said. \u201dAnd who you met, and they were first out of college or something like that. Like, I was talking to one of my producers the other day. He\u2019s worked for me for 21 years, and he started working for me when he was 21.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnbelievable,\u201d Meyers responded. <\/p>\n

CBS made the decision last year to cancel the long-running show after 11 seasons with Colbert at the helm, citing low ratings. <\/p>\n

However, many people suggested at the time the true reason for the show\u2019s cancellation was the host\u2019s political views<\/a>, as CBS\u2019s parent company, Paramount Global, is owned by David Ellison, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have had a great relationship with CBS. It\u2019s one of the reasons why this was so surprising and so shocking that there was no preamble to this,\u201d Colbert said following the network\u2019s announcement. <\/p>\n

As the show comes to a close, Colbert has stacked his last two weeks with a stellar lineup of guests, including former President Barack Obama<\/a>, actor Tom Hanks, \u201cHamilton\u201d star Christopher Jackson and former \u201cLate Night\u201d host David Letterman, just to name a few. <\/p>\n
