Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has shared his thoughts on CBS’ shocking decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, dismissing claims that the move was politically motivated.

Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver, two of the biggest names in current events-focused comedy, expressed dismay at the decision by CBS to cancel “Late Night” with Stephen Colbert.

Network late-night shows have been losing viewers for years, but Colbert‘s program is primed for a ratings bump right now.
