Stephen Colbert has responded to news that the U.S. government has approved Paramount's $8.6 billion merger with Skydance Media, a deal which is widely speculated to be a reason behind the Late Show 's recent cancellation. With little left to lose, the Late Show host did not hold back in mocking his soon-to-be former employer.

Josh Greenstein is in talks to join Paramount following the company's merger with Skydance in an undefined role. The executive most recently served as Sony Motion Picture Group president, which he's shared with Sanford Panitch since 2019.
