“CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said on social media platform X formerly known as Twitter.

CBS has cancelled The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. It’s not replacing him as host, either. The long running series, which began with David Letterman in 1993, will end for good in May 2026.
