<h2>Why was The Late Show With Stephen Colbert cancelled?</h2><p>CBS cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ended the franchise entirely in May. The cancellation announcement was done in July 2025. While the network cited mounting financial losses in the challenging traditional broadcast landscape, critics and Colbert himself pointed to political tension following Colbert's public criticism of parent company Paramount over a $16 million legal settlement with Donald Trump.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/donald-trump-denies-role-in-cancellation-of-stephen-colbert-s-the-late-show-claims-jimmy-kimmel-and-fallon-will-face-similar-heat-1753865620954"><strong>Donald Trump denies role in cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s The Late Show, claims Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon will face similar heat</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>CBS and parent company Paramount maintained that the cancellation was strictly a bottom-line decision. Industry experts reported that the traditional late-night format was struggling with declining broadcast ad revenues and high production costs, with the show reportedly losing tens of millions of dollars annually.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding to the controversy, the cancellation occurred during a massive multibillion-dollar merger between Paramount and Skydance Media. Many observers connected the network's move to a desire to avoid government and regulatory friction, as the incoming corporate regime faced necessary merger approvals from Trump's Federal Communications Commission. Colbert aired his final episode on May 21, choosing to step away rather than accept a reduced format or budget.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Following The Late Show's final broadcast, CBS is replacing the late-night time slot with <i>Comics Unleashed</i>, hosted by Byron Allen.</p><h2>What's next for Stephen Colbert?</h2><p>Following the conclusion of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert is transitioning to a movie-writing role, co-writing the upcoming Lord of the Rings film, The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past, with filmmaker Peter Jackson, writer Philippa Boyens, and his son, Peter McGee.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-the-colbert-report-to-late-show-a-look-at-stephen-colbert-s-brilliant-career-1752830034519"><strong>From The Colbert Report to Late Show: A look at Stephen Colbert’s brilliant career</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Colbert revealed he has actually been quietly writing and developing the story with Jackson’s team for nearly two years.

An old tweet dating back to 2021 has come back to haunt Bengali actors Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Swastika Mukherjee. The actors' tweets could have alleged violence in 2021 during the post-poll violence in West Bengal, alleged the complainant. 

An FIR has been filed against Bengali actors Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Swastika Mukherjee over their alleged provocative tweets made in 2021 over post-poll violence in 2021 in West Bengal. The complaint was filed at Kolkata’s Gariahat police station on Thursday by advocate Joydeep Sen. In his complaint, Sen alleged that the actors had made remarks on social media that could have incited political violence in a charged atmosphere following the assembly election results in May 2021. According to the complaint, Parambrata had posted on X, then Twitter, on May 2, 2021, after the Trinamool Congress crossed the majority mark, "Let today be declared World Thrashing Day". Swastika allegedly responded to the post by writing, "Hahaha, let it be". The complainant alleged that such remarks contributed to an atmosphere of political hostility and violence during the post-poll unrest across the state. Sen, in his complaint, also referred to the killing of BJP worker Abhijit Sarkar in Beliaghata hours later, alleging that comments of this nature encouraged political violence. "A complaint has been received at Gariahat police station, and an FIR has been registered. The matter is being examined as per law," a senior Kolkata Police officer said. The complainant claimed that the posts could attract charges related to abetment under Section 107 of the Indian Penal Code. Although the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) is currently in force, the complaint mentioned that provisions of the IPC would apply since the alleged incident took place in 2021. The complaint further referred to several incidents of alleged attacks, killings, arson and assault on BJP workers in different districts of West Bengal during the post-poll violence period. Police said an investigation has been initiated into the allegations. Neither Parambrata nor Swastika has publicly reacted to the FIR so far. What is the background? The complaint was lodged hours after Parambrata addressed the press and stated he was ‘forced to compromise and apologise’ in the past for the sake of his ‘newborn son’. The statement came hours after BJP MLA and actor Rudranil Ghosh held a meeting with other Bengali film industry stakeholders to address issues related to technicians. Parambrata was also present at the meeting. Also read: Tollywood drama: Parambrata's 'apology' defense backfires online

<p>One of the highly anticipated Bollywood films of this year, <i>King</i>, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has found itself at the centre of an AI leak crisis months before its release in cinemas.

The makers of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King have reportedly tightened security after an AI-generated video by a fan went viral. King is scheduled to release this year. 

One of the highly anticipated Bollywood films of this year, King, starring Shah Rukh Khan, has found itself at the centre of an AI leak crisis months before its release in cinemas. An unidentified individual, claiming to be a fan of Shah Rukh Khan, used leaked clips to generate an AI version. The report suggests that the makers of the film have tightened security on the film's current schedule. Security tightened after leaks from set of King The team of King was allegedly upset with the stills from the climax shoot and sequences from Cape Town scheduled to be leaked online, as per the report of Mid-Day. The same report suggests that though SRK shoots in public, it is impossible to trace the source of the leak. But the AI edit crossed a line because it attempted to recreate the narrative of the film.

But movement in the action portions and crucial scenes has become extremely restricted," it said. Also Read: The King is coming!
