@hollywoodlife: Stephen Colbert would have preferred to go out on his own terms, but the late-night host admitted that his show's parent company, CBS, did him a favor. "I’d just be a little older. And it would have been my choice," Stephen told The Hollywood Reporter. "But maybe they gave me a gift because I had a lot of jokes I could make about the end of the show, and if I’d decided to end the show, then I’m the bad guy." (📸: Courtesy of CBS)
