Colbert is a long time MASSIVE LoTR fan. He has made it very well known over the years on his shows. Hell, it earned him a cameo in the Hobbit films. LOL! It would not surprise me in the least that he would be willing to suck it up and partner with WB solely to get to do this passion project.
As long as he’s not rattling the cage, there is (theoretically) no reason to hold a grudge.
By the same vein, I’m guessing that if they’d persuaded him to tone down the political content and critique of the Tonight Show, it might well have survived.
Hey, weird idea but stay with me: A fat orc wearing orange warpaint, slightly demented, always slightly tilting forward, occasionally shitting himself, as the main villain.
Yeah, weird to partner with Warner
Well, Warner Bros. is the only one who has the film rights to Lord of the Rings…
Ah fair, but even so to commit to it I guess means the work is more important to be shared than bare a grudge?

Absurdly implausible! D:
The merger hasn’t happened yet. Also, pretty soon you won’t be able to do major projects without being under the umbrella of some fascist.
It’s too bad Colbert and his family have to work or they’ll starve
