COLBERT’S YOUTUBE TAKEDOWN: A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL?

Hold up, internet! Before you grab your pitchforks, let’s get this straight. Paramount/CBS was indeed yanking fan-uploaded clips of Stephen Colbert’s "Only in Monroe" public access show from YouTube. But Variety reports the network wasn't trying to be the fun police.

Turns out, it’s all about the paperwork. The show is copyrighted, and CBS already has official, high-quality versions available. So, they were just protecting their assets, not squashing your fun.

No need to panic, Colbert Nation. Your late-night hero isn’t being censored, and the network isn’t out to get you. Just a little misunderstanding in the wild world of online video!
