Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden also question whether Skydance was involved in discussions to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Days after a hearing on CBS parent Paramount's merger with Skydance, run by the son of a Trump supporter, #1 rated 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' was canceled.
