CBS Kicks Off ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Emmy Push With Celeb-Heavy Video, But No Sign Of Throwing Support Behind Jimmy Kimmel

Last year, after CBS made the decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel threw his support behind his fellow late-night host to win the main late-night Emmy. CBS posted an FYC video on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s YouTube channel. It featured many clips of Colbert’s fellow late-night hosts and Emmy rivals, including Kimmel, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, David Letterman, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon and Andy Cohen. But it made it clear that they want another Emmy in the Outstanding Variety Series category (the new name for the merged category). The FYC video leans into Colbert’s final run of shows with a heavy dose of A-listers.
