‘Hey boys, here’s what we’re gonna do: not only are we gonna get rid of that guy, we’re gonna get rid of the entire franchise so you don’t have to worry about another guy. It’s gone,’ Letterman said.

I think Dave is more angry about “Late Night” being cancelled than Colbert being fired. Dave should blame Colbert…..Im quite sure Dave didnt spend every night doing the same schtick as the other late night hosts bashing the sitting President and hosting folks that all did the same bashing.
Dave was kind of funny when he was on NBC on The Late Show, but I never watched him on CBS and he became unfunny as time went on. With a very few exceptions he was always #2 behind Leno. NBC did not give Letterman the Tonight Show because they knew he wasn’t the right host.
