CBS is standing down after fan outcry over the network’s controversial move involving Stephen Colbert.
On May 23, Colbert returned to TV as the surprise guest host of Only in Monroe on a public access station in Michigan, just one day after his final episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert aired. (He memorably took over the show in 2015, before making his debut on The Late Show.)
