Stephen Colbert was receiving messages of support and affection from his fellow late-night hosts after announcing that CBS was canceling his show, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” next May.

Colbert, who already has 10 Emmys to his name, was previously honored for "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central and his most recent win for his special, audaciously titled "Stephen Colbert's Election Night 2020: Democracy's Last Stand: Building Back America Great Again Better 2020."
