July 28, 2016 – After Stephen Colbert did a version of “The Word” for his “Late Show” audience, the attorneys at Comedy Central contacted CBS to claim that they own the intellectual property of “Stephen Colbert,” the character. <br />“Which, is surprising, because I never thought of that guy as much of an intellectual,” Colbert joked on Wednesday night. “So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that thanks to corporate lawyers, the character of Stephen Colbert host of ‘The Colbert Report,’ will never be seen again.” <br /> <br />http://marygreeley.com/?page_id=33280
