CBS has announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026, bringing the show’s historic run—and the Late Show franchise itself—to a close.
“‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,” the network said in a statement. “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘The Late Show’ franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”
The statement was issued jointly by George Cheeks (Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President and CEO of CBS), Amy Reisenbach (President of CBS Entertainment), and David Stapf (President of CBS Studios).
CBS emphasized that the decision was not related to performance or content: “This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
“Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult,” the statement continued. “Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen’s comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation’s zeitgeist.”
CBS concluded: “The accomplishments of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ are memorable and significant in performance, quality and stature. With much gratitude, we look forward to honoring Stephen and celebrating the show over the next 10 months alongside its millions of fans and viewers.”
Colbert addressed the show’s cancellation himself while taping tonight’s show, which the show has just released: |

Date: July 17th, 2025 7:58 PM Author: turbofag (turbofag) I genuine thought his Colbert Report character was very funny. I think he did a good job of getting under uptight people's skin. Some really great interviews on there if you go back and watch them.
But when he transitioned to CBS he lost all his charm immediately. I even remember in the promo leading up to his show beginning how weird and off-putting it was. Some people were just meant to play a heel. When he was using his acerbic wit to mimic a William F Buckley type somehow it was very funny. But the second he changed his shtick to a babyface and started preaching to the choir it got terrible fast. He always came across as so smug and holier than thou. |

He was one of Lenin's Pioneers. He really sold his devotion to the regime. He grinned as dissidents were flayed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5751555&forum_id=2...id#49110354) |

Date: July 17th, 2025 9:36 PM Author: .,.,.;;,;.,;:,:,,:,.,:,::,..;.,:,.:;.:.,;.:.,:.::, i think it's more than the politics stuff. seems like he seriously phoned it in. he is obviously extremely talented and a capable host but he turned into a personality-less husk at the late show. kimmel for example seems willing to be far more political in the plain sense but somehow does it with a distinct personality (albeit a distinctly retarded one), i'd even go so far to say he goes so overboard with the shitlib fagginess that he takes some risks in doing so, though probably in spite of himself. colbert has done nothing worth clipping and sharing on the internet the last decade or so except the bizarre vaccine thing and then the 2016 election night clip that went viral. he let himself become a sanitized corporate empty vessel.
makes me think he's really not very charming or creative at all, i think in a general sense he's capable of being just as funny as letterman but letterman had true ability as a host and figured out some stupid shit to do to keep things light. colbert truly offers nothing distinct as a host, he needs to be running shtick to be funny. |

Date: July 17th, 2025 9:43 PM Author: turbofag (turbofag) Letterman was a dick most of the time to the guests, which made him cheeky and edgy. Colbert just booked other libs and they had Marxist struggle sessions where they all disavowed half the country every night.

The legit spend $2M+ per week to produce that show -- exclusive of Cobert's salary.
Starting a new show from scratch, they could produce something just as good for $2M per year.

Date: July 17th, 2025 8:02 PM Author: turbofag (turbofag) Obviously this is true but also the ratings haven't been great, the optics for the network are bad. Of course they can throw some young random guy in the chair and pay him peanuts and tell him to build an organic audience. But it's also a rebrand at the same time. Colbert was locked into a small niche. Execs get sick of hearing "network talk shows are dead" etc. This is a chance to break from the woke idpol era, too. It's both.
