As the former head writer of The Daily Show and the co-creator of The Colbert Report, television producer Ben Karlin has known Stephen Colbert for more than 25 years. And he doesn’t think the comedian is going to go “scorched earth” on CBS when the network ends The Late Show With Stephen Colbert next month.

“He’s a classy guy. He’s a classy guy,” Karlin said of Colbert on The Daily Beast’s Obsessed podcast. “I think he’s capable of killing with kindness. I think what he doesn’t say is sometimes better than what can be said. But he is just a class act.”
