Seth Myers On Upcoming Final Episode Of ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’: “A Very Sad Week For Television In America”

Myers:

> “I’m heartbroken. It’s very sad to lose a colleague and even sadder to lose a time slot. It would be one thing if Stephen was leaving and a younger person was getting a chance to have one of these jobs that are — as someone who’s experienced it — so exciting to have. So just in general, I think it’s a very sad week for television in America.”

> “I’m also very optimistic that Stephen’s next chapter is going to be exciting for him and for the rest of us. I think he’s been slow-playing this as what his next step was going to be for years and I’m very excited it’s going to happen.”
