Late Show With Stephen Colbert Staffer Amy Cole Dies at 53
The Late Show family is mourning the loss of Stephen Colbert’s longtime executive assistant Amy Cole tonight.
Cole was just 53. A close friend confirms she died earlier today.
The show paid tribute to Cole at the end of Monday night’s show with a title card that read “Dedicated to our dear friend Amy Cole, 1970-2024.”
Audience members who attended today’s show reported that the otherwise jovial taping took a serious turn at the end when Colbert asked the crowd to hold their applause and he appeared to be at a loss for words before tearfully saying goodnight.
Audience members did not see the title card, nor was it explained to them why Colbert was so upset. The stunned crowd watched in silence as he got up from his desk and quietly left the studio. A minute or two later, they were told the taping was over.
