Uber has faced many protests over its ride-hailing app, but this time the protests came directly to the CEO.
During a taping of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Uber's CEO, Travis Kalanick, was interrupted by at least one protester in the upper balcony, according to several Business Insider reporters who were there and witnessed it.
The first time, the protester stood up during the taping and accused Kalanick of destroying taxi-industry jobs. Colbert let the protester speak for awhile, before saying that he had a question about that in his cue cards anyway.
Kalanick maintained that Uber pays better and offers more flexible hours than the taxi industry, an oft-repeated stance by the company.
