CBS has announced it will end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' in May 2026, citing significant financial losses and declining advertising revenue as the primary reasons.
The decision has ignited controversy, with some fans and commentators suspecting political motivations due to Colbert's outspoken criticism of former President Trump, though CBS insists the move is purely business-related. Prominent late-night hosts like Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon have publicly supported Colbert, criticizing CBS and expressing concerns about the future of late-night television.

The Writers Guild of America has called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the show's cancellation.
