“YOU CAN’T SPELL CBS WITHOUT BS.”
That wasn’t a joke.
It was a warning.
And this time, it didn’t come from Colbert. It came from the man who invented the seat he sat in.
“You mess with satire, you get burned — and this time, even the retired legends are back to finish the job.”
When CBS canceled The Late Show, most expected a press release and polite silence.
What they didn’t expect… was David Letterman.
No studio. No agents. No corporate filter.
Just one YouTube video — and in twenty minutes, the man who built late-night burned the bridge CBS thought they controlled.
From grainy clips to four words that won’t go away, Letterman didn’t just defend Colbert — he exposed a pattern.
The punchlines were brutal.
The timing? Surgical.
The slogan? Already everywhere.
But what the video didn’t say — what it only implied — might be even louder than the jokes.
What exactly did Letterman reveal…
that CBS hoped no one would ever piece together?👇
