Stephen Colbert got an assist on 'The Late Show' from some of his late-night rivals following CBS's sudden decision to axe the show.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has never won any Emmy in its previous nine seasons despite some notable streaks of excellence. (It has been nominated 31 times.) For much of that period, it competed in late-night’s top category against Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which Emmy voters love the way Oliver loves a minor-league baseball team .

Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.

Stewart admitted that he was “certainly not the most objective to comment on this matter” before sharing his feelings about the end of “The Late Show.”

Given that the last “celebrity” in the crowd was a cartoon Donald Trump, seemingly drawn in the style of the Colbert-produced Tooning Out The News, Miranda said, “Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on.”
