Late-night hosts respond to Stephen Colbert’s exit. What Fallon, Meyers, and Oliver said
Notably, Fallon and Meyers, both of whom anchor NBC’s late-night block, publicly expressed their shock and sadness after the news broke last week.
“As shocked as everyone,” Fallon shared on social media Friday.
Meyers added, “For as great a comedian and host as he is, Stephen is an even better person.”
“I’m going to miss having him on TV every night but I’m excited he can no longer use the excuse that he’s ‘too busy to hang out’ with me.”
John Oliver also weighed in during a public appearance on Saturday. While debuting the Erie Moon Mammoths minor league baseball team, he told Associated Press it was “terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.”
“Late-night shows mean a lot to me, not just because I work in them, because even growing up in England, I would watch (David) Letterman’s show, which of course was Stephen’s show, and think about what a glamorous world that was,” he expressed.
