Actress Sandra Oh condemned the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” during an appearance on the program Monday.
“I am so sorry and properly outraged for the cancellation,” she told Colbert. “Not only for you … but for our entire culture and what it means for free speech.”
CBS announced last week it was canceling “The Late Show,” citing financial constraints, though the move is being met with widespread skepticism about the motives of the network’s parent company.
Paramount, which owns CBS, Comedy Central and a number of other linear broadcast assets, is attempting to secure a multi-billion dollar merger with Skydance, a deal that will need approval from the Trump administration.
Paramount agreed to pay Trump’s foundation $16 million earlier this month to settle a lawsuit he filed against CBS News over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Harris last fall.
Oh, appearing on “The Late Show” on Monday, took Colbert’s hand, addressing CBS and Paramount directly.
“A plague on both of your houses,” she quipped.
Colbert, who himself earlier in the evening ripped the network, thanked the “Grey’s Anatomy” star and said “you’re very kind.”
