Wanda Sykes urged Stephen Colbert to “burn this bitch down” on the ultimate episode of “The Late Show,” which is scheduled for May 21.
“You got to go the hell off the last show,” the actor and comic advised Colbert on Thursday. “Burn this bitch down,” she continued, drawing huge cheers from the viewers.
“You always bring the fire every night, but that last show has to be destruction,” she added.
Sykes famous Colbert’s Catholic religion and urged that, as a result of “love is stronger than hate,” he may invite Chicago-born Pope Leo — a critic of the Trump administration’s anti-immigration insurance policies — to be his remaining visitor.
“I want to get Leo on here,” Colbert stated, jokingly including, “He’s ghosting me. He’s holy ghosting me.”
Sykes then replied: “You get the pope here but when the pope gets here, he’s got to go the hell off, he got to burn this bitch down.”
CBS introduced the upcoming cancellation of Colbert’s present final summer time, saying it was “purely a financial decision.” The announcement, nonetheless, got here simply days earlier than the Trump administration, of which Colbert is a frequent critic, permitted a merger between its father or mother firm, Paramount, and Skydance.
