I wrote an article on Colbert's use of the music and CBS having to pay someone commented that it never would have been broadcast if they didn't already approve of it with the production company.
That commenter was a moron I know what I was talking about. Bitch.
CBS had to pay an undisclosed amount of money to Lee Mendelson Film Productions after Stephen Colbert played licensed music on his final show.
The company is donating those proceeds to Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.
