Stephen Colbert will be the talk show's last host.
July 17, 2025
In a surprise move, CBS announced today that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be ending in 2026. And with it, the 'Late Show' franchise is also being retired, ending the network's decades-long history of late night programming that began in 1993. Colbert informed his viewers of the move during Thursday night's broadcast.
"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season," said CBS executives 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. 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."
While Colbert's current contract does end at the end of 2026, the timing of the cancellation does raise questions. It comes days after Colbert criticized Paramount Global's decision to settle a lawsuit by President Donald Trump for $16 million, with him calling it a "big fat bribe." There has also been recent speculation that Skydance Media, which is acquiring Paramount Global, may not agree with Colbert's views on the current political climate.
On the other hand, CBS has already been cutting back its late night programming. 'After Midnight' was recently cancelled after host Taylor Tomlinson decided to leave the show. The late night business in general has also been on the decline in recent years.

1. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated"
2. "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
3."All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
If you don’t know of all the illegal raids on citizens of the US it because of your FN
4. "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
See 1/06/2021
5. Congress shall have the power to…
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes"
Every time the convicted felon says he made a deal with another country he is taking away my freedom to elect people to do that.
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions"
The convicted felon called them on the protestors in California. He is not congress.
6. "And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
Sure presidents get gifts of a few thousand dollars but when did Congress approve the 400 million dollar jet?
If you disagree with my first point then your "FN" has made your racist. If you disagree with my other point and you’re not brainwashed then your "FN" is causing you to actively work against the US. I could go on but your "FN’ has blinded you to the problem, or won’t allow you to see you are it.
(Yes I know what TDS is. As you were informed it is a code word right wing extremists use to announce themselves).
You know exactly what TDS is, stop lying.
Exactly what Constitutionally protected freedom do we lose as a Country? I can answer that...NONE!
Please seek help for your TDS, if not you are going to have a rough 4 years. Also, turn off CNN, MSNDC ( MSNBC ) they are the ones doing the "brainwashing. Try to have a good day ma'am.
