Tonight, the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air on CBS. The talk show, which has been running since 1993, was previously hosted by David Letterman. The network cancelled the show in July. This came after Colbert criticized parent company Paramount for paying a $16 million settlement over an edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which President Trump claimed was unfair. Despite this, CBS cited financial pressures as the reason for the cancellation. So why didn’t they just work to cut costs?

We drop fish out of planes. Well, sometimes. It’s a process called “fish stocking,” where US states breed fish with the purpose of releasing them into rivers and lakes to then be caught by fishers. And when those lakes are up in the mountains, it can take a plane or a helicopter to get the live fish to the water. But in many cases, these very lakes never had any fish in them to begin with. And adding these non-native fish can have ripple effects on the entire ecosystem.
