Just a little humor

The "glass half full" interpretation may have been personified by Sir Paul's gift to Stephen:

McCartney's autographed pic of the Beatles on the same Ed Sullivan Theater stage in 1964.

History was made on that stage. CBS ended that history last night.

note:
Some report (which I have not numerically corroborated) Colbert's The Late Show was the highest rated in the time-slot,
though it didn't match Johnny Carson's market share domination.
I've tried to watch the host CBS will substitute for Colbert, Byron Allen.
It's a simple formula. Allen reviews his four guest's material, and then prompts them individually
to compose ransom note style comedy flow.
No doubt Allen's format is $cheaper to produce,
the argument for axing Colbert.

I suspect, penny wise / £pound foolish.
 
"I don't think anyone believes that Colbert's departure wasn't the result of political pressure (in other words, extortion)." S2 #1,343
It's been thin ice for the broadcast time-slot.
NBC took it on the chin when they perdiddled with Jay Leno's time-slot.
Network management made one decision. The affiliates backlashed.

"Who's he going to tell?" S2 #1,345
When Jerry Lewis told this joke on air, he substituted "skip church" with Jewish "high holy days".
