Stephen Colbert Laments the Loss of ‘The Late Show'
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. End of an Era At the top of Thursday's 'Late Night,' Stephen Colbert announced that CBS will bring the show to an end in May. The network says the cancellation was 'purely a financial decision,' but there's speculation that Colbert's recent criticism of CBS's parent company, Paramount, was a factor. Colbert kept the announcement brief and light. When the audience booed the news, he responded with a smile, 'Yeah, I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of 'The Late Show' on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away.' 'I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I'm so grateful to the Tiffany network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. And of course I'm grateful to you, the audience, who have joined us every night in here, out there, all around the world, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea. I'm grateful to share the stage with this band, these artists over here every night. And I am extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'We get to do this show — we get to do this show for each other every day, all day, and I've had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years. And let me tell you, it is a fantastic job. I wish somebody else was getting it. And it's a job that I'm looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months. It's going to be fun. Y'all ready?' — STEPHEN COLBERT The Punchiest Punchlines (Epstein Edition) 'Well, guys, President Trump's handling of the Epstein files continues to dominate the news. Yeah, I wonder if we're ever going to see the Epstein files. At this point, our best chance is if Coldplay shows them on the Jumbotron.' — JIMMY FALLON 'Yeah, the Epstein files won't go away. Trump is so stressed, he's like, 'I need a vacation. What was the name of that fun island I used to go to?'' — JIMMY FALLON 'President Trump said yesterday that he would rather talk about the success of his administration than the Jeffrey Epstein files. Yeah, I'm sure you would. That's like Diddy saying he'd rather talk about his V.M.A.s — you don't get to pick.' — SETH MEYERS 'I swear, we're like a day away from Trump claiming Jeffrey Epstein was never even a real person.' — SETH MEYERS 'MAGA is furious because they think Trump is refusing to release the Epstein files. In response, Trump has been saying there are no credible files, and if there are, they're really boring, and also, Obama made them up. That part is true. That part is true, and you can read them on Obama's annual 'Summer Epstein Client List.'' — STEPHEN COLBERT The Bits Worth Watching Reggie Watts, the former 'Late Late Show' bandleader, promoted his new stand-up comedy tour on Thursday's 'Daily Show.'

Barack And Michelle Obama Address Divorce Rumors In Candid Podcast Reveal
After months of mounting speculation, Barack and Michelle Obama have finally addressed rumors about their marriage. In a surprising appearance on Michelle's podcast "IMO," the couple tackled headlines suggesting they were heading for divorce. With heartfelt admissions and candid humor, the Obamas cleared the air and shared an intimate look into their nearly 33-year journey together. Barack Obama Jokes About Reconciliation Rumors On 'IMO' Podcast Barack Obama joined his wife, Michelle, on the "IMO" podcast, co-hosted by her brother, Craig Robinson, where the couple openly addressed swirling divorce rumors. The light-hearted tone was evident from the start when Robinson joked, "What, you guys like each other?" Michelle quickly responded, "Oh yeah, the rumor mill," prompting Barack to quip, "She took me back! It was touch and go for a while." Michelle added with sass, "When we aren't [in the same room], folks think we're divorced." The couple's playful banter set the stage for more profound revelations about their bond and the false narratives often spread online. Michelle Obama Declares Her Loyalty To Barack Obama Despite the persistent rumors, Michelle made it clear that her love and commitment to her husband have never wavered. In an emotional moment, she stated, "There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man." She continued, "And we've had some really hard times. So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to." Barack Obama Reacts To The Rumors He Never Saw Coming Barack admitted he was largely unaware of the speculation until others brought it to his attention. "These are the kinds of things that I just miss, right? So I don't even know this stuff's going on." He added, "And then somebody will mention it to me and I'm all like, 'What are you talking about?'" Michelle's brother, Craig Robinson, added to the narrative by recalling a fan encounter in Kansas. He shared how a woman posed for a photo and whispered, "What did he do?" implying Barack must have made a mistake. "What makes you think he messed up?" Robinson joked. Michelle Obama Sets The Record Straight On Barack And Public Appearances The rumor mill had been in overdrive after Michelle skipped some major political events, including former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration. These decisions fueled gossip that the Obamas were no longer together, but Michelle firmly stated these were choices she made independently. In a separate podcast appearance earlier this year, she dismissed rumors of marital tension, noting, "If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it." She laughed as she assured listeners she's "not a martyr" and would never suffer in silence. "I'd be out there, like, 'Let me tell you what this fool did,'" she joked. Michelle also addressed the divorce rumors during an appearance on Sophia Bush's iHeartRadio podcast, "Work in Progress." The former First Lady said, "That's the thing that we women struggle with, disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year, people couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself." She blamed the rumors on society, noting, "This couldn't be a grown woman just making a set of decisions herself, right? But that's what society does to us." Michelle Obama Says Therapy Is Helping Her Embrace A New Life Chapter Meanwhile, Michelle is turning inward as she steps into what she calls the "next phase" of life. In a candid interview on Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast, she opened up about her personal journey with therapy and why she believes it's crucial for this new chapter. "At this phase of my life, I'm in therapy right now because I'm transitioning, you know?" she revealed. With Sasha and Malia now grown and on their own, Michelle described herself as an "empty nester," saying, "I'm 60 years old, I've finished a really hard thing in my life with my family intact… my girls are in, you know, they've been launched!" Michelle shared that therapy is helping her shed behaviors that no longer serve her growth. "So, I'm getting that tune-up for this next phase because I believe this is a whole 'nother phase in life for me," she explained. "And I now have the wisdom to know, let me go get some coaching while I'm doing it." Now that the most demanding years of her life are behind her, Michelle is focused on herself. "Every choice that I'm making is completely mine," she said. "I now don't have the excuse of, 'Well, my kids need this,' or 'My husband needs that,' or 'The country needs that.'" Encouraging others to explore mental health support, she added, "Everybody needs to find their form of it, the best way they can." Solve the daily Crossword
