CBS Shifts Morning Show Producer to Help ‘Late Show’

Associated Press: Toward the end of Stephen Colbert’s first season as “Late Show” host, CBS said it has assigned the producer who reinvented the network’s morning news show to take over as top behind-the-scenes executive at the late-night comedy program. Chris Licht, who has run “CBS This Morning” since 2012, is making the unusual shift. His job as “Late Show” executive producer is a new one; Colbert has essentially been running the show.
