CBS reaches agreement over Stephen Colbert’s use of Peanuts music on The Late Show

On that last day of his hosting, Colbert played Linus and Lucy on air in final dig at the network

On his last day hosting CBS’s The Late Show, Stephen Colbert played one of the most iconic songs from the Peanuts soundtrack.

“Oh no! I hope this doesn’t cost CBS any money!” he joked, as Louis Cato and the Great Big Joy Machine performed the song, titled Linus and Lucy, on air. It was a final dig at the network, which many fans believe cancelled the show due to Colbert’s criticisms of the Trump administration.
