[The settlement coincided with
Paramount seeking approval from
the US Federal Communications Commission
for an $8.4bn merger with Skydance Media.
Colbert called the settlement “a big fat bribe”.

Colbert, who has hosted the talkshow since 2015,
announced the news during
Thursday night’s recording,
telling the audience he had been told

“It’s not just the end of the show,

I’m not being replaced,
this is all just going away,” Colbert said.]
