As ‘The Late Show’ nears its final bow, #StephenColbert opens up about the cancellation that shocked the industry, the win of going out as a “martyr” and his next act in Middle-earth.
Last July, @colbert looked straight to camera and announced that his 11th season of 'The Late Show' would be his last. CBS, whose parent company, Paramount, was in the midst of closing a multibillion-dollar merger with David Ellison’s Skydance that required the Trump administration’s approval, insisted it was “purely a financial decision.” But the choice to cancel the No. 1 show in late night raised more than a few eyebrows, particularly as it came just two weeks after Paramount had agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle a controversial lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview.
"I know that the show had to end at some time. I did not expect it to end this way." Read the full cover story at the link in bio.

Not too many people can say they got to transform into the video game character they admired growing up.
But for but Tati Gabrielle, landing the role as Jade in #MortalKombatII was a full-circle moment for the 30-year-old actress: “My little kid self would’ve never thought sitting there playing that game downstairs in our den, that I’d be playing that character one day. The best that I can say is that it felt aligned in this weird, trippy, crazy way and also very exciting for my inner child.”
At the link in bio, Gabrielle opens up about the pressure of stepping into Jade’s shoes, how her martial arts background helped with the film’s many stunts, whether she’s open to reprising her role again and the importance of diversity in front and behind the camera.

Exclusive: A first look at Rami Malek and Ira Sachs’ queer romance ‘The Man I Love’ which premieres in Competition at Cannes Film Festival.
