"I worked this up for you because I wanted to thank you, personally and publicly for all you did for me for these past nine and a half years, Midler told Colbert on Tuesday. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I would not I'm going to cry I would not have made it through without you. I really wouldn't have. You're a voice of sanity and reason and, most important, honor."
"It must have been cold here At The Late Show Despite the high ratings And awards You need a gig that's That's more worthwhile More worthwhile Now that you're More in demand Than Epstein's file Did you ever know That you're my Frodo You stand for what's right You stand for what's right With wit and class Thank you And I hold you high as The great eagles Cause you never kissed The orange a**"
Bette Midler joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show and performed reworked lyrics of her 1988 song to praise his integrity and refusal to flatter Donald Trump. Midler urged Colbert not to leave after CBS announced the show's cancellation following a July decision linked to a $16 million settlement between Paramount and Trump over a lawsuit tied to a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Midler thanked Colbert for nine and a half years of support, called him a voice of sanity and honor, and sang lines celebrating his wit, class, and for never "kissing the orange a**." The audience joined in the refrain and applause.
