The announcement came three days after Colbert spoke out against Paramount Global, parent company of CBS, settling with President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” story. “l am offended,” Colbert said in his monologue Monday night. “I don’t know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company.
