Stephen Colbert detailed his reactions to both the end of his "The Late Show" and Jimmy Kimmel's show suspension during a joint appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Colbert learned of Kimmel's indefinite suspension via text mid-taping and humorously assumed it was Kimmel's fault. He received news of his own show's cancellation from his manager, initially delaying telling his staff. Colbert recounted the emotional experience of announcing the show's end to his audience and crew, including audience chants of "You can do it!" when he stumbled over the announcement.
