CBS has made the surprising decision to end Late Night With Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert shared the news at a live taping on Thursday to sustained boos from the audience. “Yeah, I share your feelings,” he said. “It's not just the end our our show, but it's the end of The Late Show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.”

Loss of Stephen Colbert’s show is another sign of how we are losing our shared ties.

Stephen isn’t expensive. He’s a threat.
