"Stephen Colbert's Emotional Tribute to Late Show Staffer Amy Cole"
Stephen Colbert became emotional and choked up before paying tribute to his staffer, Amy Cole, who died after a brief battle with cancer. The usually peppy host was visibly moved as he dedicated the episode to Cole, who had worked as his personal and executive assistant for 16 years. Colleagues and viewers expressed sympathy and shared memories of Cole, describing her as a beloved and integral part of the show's family. Colbert's team encouraged donations to Radio Lollipop, an organization Cole was involved with for two decades, in her honor.
