Stephen Colbert Holds Back Tears During Show After Long Time Assistant Passes Away at 53
Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert is never known to be lost for words, but at the end of his Monday night show broadcast, the host of The Stephen Colbert Report was left speechless as he paid tribute to his long-time executive Amy Cole, who passed away at age 53.
At the end of his Monday night show, Colbert, who usually ends on a high note, looked noticeably dejected and asked the audience not to applaud.
Colbert then left the set when a visual appeared on the screen that showed a picture of Amy Cole with the caption, “Dedicated to our dear friend Amy Cole, 1970-2024.”
Cole’s cause of death was not revealed to viewers.
