Yesterday New York Governor Mario Cuomo confirmed Stephen Colbert will not only keep The Late Show in NYC, but he will also remain in The Ed Sullivan Theater when he takes over for David Letterman next year.
The Governor, along with CBS, made the official announcement via a press release:
“Today, I am pleased to announce that the LATE SHOW will stay in New York, where it belongs. New York has long been an international entertainment leader, and with this commitment from CBS we are beginning the next chapter in that proud history,” Cuomo said. “The television and film industries are thriving in the Empire State – creating jobs and fueling dozens of other sectors across the state. Les Moonves and CBS have made the right decision in choosing to continue investing in New York, and as David Letterman passes the baton to Stephen Colbert, I look forward to watching THE LATE SHOW from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater for years to come.”
This is great new for fans from NYC and beyond who have been able to see their favorite celebrities outside the legendary theater.
Are you happy The Late Show is staying in NYC?
