CBS and Paramount executives praised colbert as irreplaceable and stated they will retire the &#8220;Late Show&#8221; franchise rather than continue it without him.the decision was described as a financial move in response to challenges in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/princess-bride-star-tells-cruz-he-has-contempt-for-him-cruz-fires-back-photo-that-star-signed-to-him\/\" title=\"\u2018Princess Bride\u2019 Star Tells Cruz He Has \u2018Contempt\u2019 For Him. Cruz Fires Back Photo That Star Signed To Him.\">late-night television<\/a> and is not related to the show&#8217;s performance or content. Colbert himself confirmed the cancellation on his programme,emphasizing that the show will end rather than be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>Speculation suggests Colbert might move to Comedy Central, another Paramount network, possibly filling a future vacancy upon Jon stewart&#8217;s departure. The cancellation is notable given that &#8220;The Late Show&#8221; has traditionally been one of the highest-rated late-night programs.<\/p>\n<p>The declaration follows other recent changes at CBS, including the 2023 cancellation of James Corden&#8217;s &#8220;Late Late show&#8221; and a $16 million settlement Paramount reached with Donald Trump over a controversial &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview. Colbert, known for his sharp criticism of Trump, condemned the settlement as a &#8220;big fat bribe.&#8221; Reactions to the cancellation have been mixed, with some conservative commentators blaming Colbert for the show&#8217;s end.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>CBS announced Thursday that &ldquo;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert&rdquo; is being cancelled, effective May 2026, at the normal end of the broadcast season.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire &lsquo;The Late Show&rsquo; franchise at that time,&rdquo; top executives from CBS and Paramount Global said in a statement, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/07\/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-ending-next-year-cbs-1236461787\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deadline<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are proud that Stephen called CBS home.
