CBS and Paramount have pulled back from sending copyright notices to prevent a parody by Stephen Colbert on Michigan public access show “Only In Monroe” from going viral on social
media, NPR reports. In the parody, which was financed by CBS, Colbert says, “It’s been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV. So I am grateful to be here on Monroe Community Media,
before they also get acquired by Paramount.” The parody was approved for distribution on only three YouTube channels.
