Stephen Colbert, late night

Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.
I am your host,” Fallon said as he opened his monologue on NBC’s “Tonight Show” before adding: “Well, at least for tonight.”
Stephen Colbert spoofed that viral Coldplay concert clip with help from several fellow late-night hosts, plus Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al.
The gag started with Miranda and Weird Al coming out to perform a song – a Coldplay song, in fact, a reference to the Astronomer scandal, which saw the CEO resigning after getting caught with the company’s HR chief on a kiss-cam at a recent concert from Chris Martin’s band.
After The Late Show With Stephen Colbert got axed by CBS, allegedly due to political pressure, President Donald Trump has claimed Jimmy Kimmel’s show could be next to go. He further stated that The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon would follow.
In his first episode since announcing the cancellation of "Late Show," Stephen Colbert had choice words for Trump, who'd celebrated the news.
