If you haven't done so yet, time to cancel Paramount plus.
Executives at CBS News made it clear to Late Show host Stephen Colbert: He wasn’t to interview Texas State Representative James Talarico last night.
But Colbert, who only has months left of his tenure on the show after being ousted by Paramount Global, didn’t listen.
