Stephen Colbert mourns Paris attacks

LOS ANGELES: Late Show host Stephen Colbert ended his monologue on a sombre note as he addressed the attacks in Paris.

"Folks, we end tonight's show with a heavy heart because we taped all of tonight's show and then we found out about the horrific attacks in Paris today," Colbert told audiences.

"I know that not much is known right now. We do know there have been many deaths. The price is still ongoing," Colbert said.

He continued, "President Hollande has declared a state of emergency and President Obama has promised the United States will do whatever it takes to bring those terrorists to justice.

"We add our thoughts and prayers to everyone in Paris and now, um, we'll see you on Monday," he said.

At least 128 people were killed in a series of coordinated attacks by suicide bombers and gunmen in Paris at a concert hall, restaurants and stadium.
