It’s no surprise that Stephen Colbert thinks of Les Moonves as his “guy.”
Stephen Colbert has benefited from Les Moonves’ support, but he still believes his boss should be held accountable if he’s done wrong.
As it is, Colbert stayed on the air to find his groove with political commentary, and the ratings for The Late Show reflected audience enthusiasm for the show’s new direction.
If Moonves was not in Colbert’s corner, Colbert may have found himself out of the late night game.
