Liberal celebrities and politicians mourned the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" as CBS claims the decision is purely financial and unrelated to the show's content.

The late night host looks ahead to the next 10 months, assuring his crew and studio audience, "It's going to be fun."

The decision to cancel The Late Show comes just two days after Colbert criticized the company’s decision to settle a frivilous news distortion lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump last year. The lawsuit centered around a “60 Minutes” interview with his then-political rival, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
