Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ writers launch ‘For Your Consideration’ campaign for Emmys after cancellation

Writers behind "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" pushed a homemade "For Your Consideration" ad for the Emmy Awards after saying CBS won't do one after its cancellation.

Over the weekend, former writer Felipe Torres Medina posted a "DIY" advertisement on Instagram in an '80s sitcom opening style, featuring members of the writing staff including Ariel Dumas, Gabe Gronli, Delmonte Bent, Steve Waltien, Caroline Lazar, Tom Purcell, Michael Brumm, Matt Lappin, Aaron Nemo, Aaron Cohen, Paul Dinello, Pratima Mani, Opus Moreschi, Brian Stack, Kate Sidley, Asher Perlman, Carley Moseley, Jay Katsir, Eliana Kwartler, John Thibodeaux, Michael Cruz Kayne and Barry Julien.

The video ended with an image of "Stephen T. Colbert" as "Da Boss" along with the message "We'd love an Emmy!"

In the post, Medina wrote, "CBS is not doing a For Your Consideration campaign for us, so 'for strictly financial reasons' the @colbertlateshow writers made our own #FYC campaign."

Fox News Digital reached out to CBS and Paramount for comment.

The "for strictly financial reasons" comment is likely a reference to CBS canceling "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" last year for what it described as financial reasons rather than political ones. Reports claimed the series was losing the network $40 million per year.

However, several liberal commentators, along with Colbert himself, have accused the network of canceling the show to appease President Donald Trump ahead of a massive merger requiring FCC approval.

Although Medina said that CBS wasn't doing a "For Your Consideration" campaign for the "Late Show," reports have indicated that the network has already launched a campaign on behalf of the series, including ads.
