    1. >“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. 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,” said George Cheeks, Co-CEO Paramount Global and President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS, Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment and David Stapf, President, CBS Studios in a statement.

      >Colbert, who announced the news during tonight’s taping, said that he was grateful for giving him the chair. “I’m not being replaced, this is all just going away,” Colbert said.

      >CBS said this was “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,” it added.

      Late night shows are too outdated for today’s TikTok generations. Colbert gives off grandpa trying to be funny vibes, so not terribly surprised he’s first to go.

      200 people to make that show – meanwhile others are doing much better shows/podcasts with a couple of stoner employees and a bucket of chicken.

      I’m sure that this has NOTHING to do with the bullshit going on at Paramount….nothing at all

    5. This symbolizes an end of an Era that has lasted almost 80 years. The Ed Sullivan show started in 1948, and was synonymous with „Star Creation“. Star = celebrity. 

      The importance of this programming on the masses, its impact on our culture throughout the decades, cannot be overstated. 

    6. We can’t say we’re firing him, that’s too obvious, let’s just say we’re retiring an incredibly lucrative franchise because of „financial reasons“

    7. Hire Conan O’Brien instead and give him the freedom to do what he does best. CBS would make so much money.

      Fallon and Meyers are happy to stay as long as they can while Kimmel is mentally done but he doesn’t know what to do if he leaves.

      Sucks that CBS has nuked their late night block and will fill it Byron Allen probably.

    9. While yes, some of the writing on his show was below the other late night shows, and the format as a whole is outdated (we follow celebs on Instagram; don’t need to see most of these by-the-numbers interviews)… it’s still a shame. Stephen is a great person with a great heart, and has spoken powerfully during some of the country’s most difficult moments the last few years.

      He needs to have a permanent role at The Daily Show, assuming Paramount doesn’t screw with that too.

      He lost his way after the Colbert Report not a good late night host

      I am so pleased he made his cash grab. He is still young enough to enjoy retirement with his beloved wife and see his grandkids. What an epic run for him

    12. Mark my words, he’ll go the “My Next Guest Needs no Introduction,” route with his own show doing *something,* it just won’t necessarily be Late Night. Often felt like a waste of Colbert in many ways anyway.

      But I would highly doubt he’s truly *retiring* retiring.

    13. This doesn’t make sense – Colbert is consistently at the top of the late night ratings

    14. Financial decision my ass. lol political hit job. This is big money bending the knee to a party of fools and charlatans.

    15. Slowly all the free thinkers and speakers will disappear from TV. Media is no longer free.
