Stephen Colbert addresses the ousting of his disgraced former boss Les Moonves

Longtime CBS head Les Moonves has been let go from the company, and Stephen Colbert didn't mince his words on The Late Show on Monday.

"It's never a good sign when you're the subject of a Ronan Farrow double-dip," Colbert said, referring to the new batch of accusations directed at Moonves before being fired.

The late show host seemed pleased at Moonves' dismissal, slyly adding that he's "gone... for at least nine months until he does his set at the Comedy Cellar."

In the meantime, Colbert, like the rest of us, is still wondering about the anonymous person who wrote that anti-Trump op-ed the other week. Couldn't be an old, conservative guy, could it?
