Why The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will be the last one in 2026?
When the news of the show being pulled out spread, it took everyone by surprise, and many even became upset, demanding that the show not be taken out. As per reports, the news of the cancellation came after CBS's parent company, Paramount, settled a lawsuit with US President Donald Trump. Colbert's show has always been critical of the Trump administration.
Stephen Colbert has also been a vocal opponent of the settlement, calling it a 'big fat bribe' on the show, and revealed that he only found out about the cancellation of the show just a day before it had to be announced.
CBS announced that the show will wrap up by the end of the 2025–2026 TV season. CBS also states that the reason for ending the show is purely financial and has nothing to do with the content. According to a report by CNN, the network had recently laid off 3.5 per cent of its staff. Paramount is also appealing to the Federal Communications Commission to approve its planned $8.4 billion agreement with Skydance Media.
Many celebrities have voiced their support for Stephen Colbert, such as Rachel Zegler, Judd Apatow, Jimmy Kimmel, Ben Stiller, John Cusack, Andy Richter, and Michael Ian Black.
