When Stephen Colbert signed off from “Late Show” in May, he left something for CBS — a bill for playing licensed-protected music.
During that last show, “Linus and Lucy,” owned by Lee Mendelson Film Productions (LMFP) was played by Colbert’s band.
Colbert made a joke about the music company, which he said had been suing over unauthorized uses of the song.
“Oh no, I hope this doesn’t cost CBS any money,” the host said.
Watch:
CBS reached a licensing agreement with LMFP.
The funds will go to charity.
