CBS has announced it will end 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' in May 2026, citing financial losses and declining advertising revenue as the main reasons.
The decision has triggered widespread backlash from late-night hosts, celebrities, and fans, many of whom suspect political motives due to the show's frequent criticism of Donald Trump and the timing amid a major media merger. Colbert and his peers have publicly mocked CBS's explanation, while Trump celebrated the cancellation online. The move has intensified concerns about the future of late-night television, media freedom, and potential self-censorship in the current political climate.
Despite CBS's insistence that the cancellation is not related to content or politics, skepticism remains high.
