Colbert explained that hosting a nightly political satire and commentary show required constantly immersing himself in the 24-hour news cycle, which felt mentally and emotionally draining. He humorously compared the day-to-day hosting duties to being lowered like “carbon rods into a radioactive pool every day,” noting that he feels much healthier now that he does not have to obsess over daily news headlines. When Kimmel asked if he missed hosting late-night television, Colbert bluntly responded that he does not.
