The finale is set to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >include high-profile guest appearances<\/a> from major late-night figures and celebrities, including Jimmy kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Letterman, Tom Hanks, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Pedro Pascal, and musical guests The Strokes-though the events are framed as a send-off rather than a true continuation of the show\u2019s cultural role.<\/p>\n<p>The piece argues that despite the star power, the ending reflects a deeper disappointment: *The Late Show*\u2019s CBS era never matched the originality and satirical edge of Colbert\u2019s earlier *The Colbert Report* on Comedy Central. It portrays the Comedy Central version as risky, character-driven, and constantly surprising-satire with distance and theatrical inventiveness-while the CBS format is described as more predictable, reactive, and increasingly aligned with partisan expectations. Variety\u2019s criticism (\u201cnot very good TV\u201d and out of touch) is treated as harsh but essentially correct.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond creative decline, the article links the cancellation to broader forces affecting <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>, stressing that CBS says it\u2019s a financial decision while Colbert and others suggest something more ominous may have shifted. It also situates late-night in a antagonistic environment where political comedy faces regulatory threats and corporate risk, citing controversies involving Jimmy Kimmel and threats from the FCC. The author frames a larger struggle over whether comedy can still function as a form of public critique-or whether market pressures and government\/corporate intimidation are squeezing out that space.<\/p>\n<p>the writer emphasizes that Colbert\u2019s achievements on CBS where real and acclaimed,but claims the CBS incarnation lost the \u201cdanger\u201d and comic artistry that made *The Colbert Report* essential. The May 21 finale is thus presented as an elegiac conclusion-ending a franchise without a true successor in spirit, and replacing it with *Comics Unleashed*, a roundtable comedy designed to avoid political humor.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>On May 21, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/stephen-colbert\/\">Stephen Colbert<\/a> will host his final episode of <em>The Late Show<\/em> on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cbs-news\/\">CBS<\/a>, bringing down the curtain not only on his own 11-year run but on the entire <em>Late Show<\/em> franchise, a CBS institution since <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/columnists\/4547194\/late-night-hosts-like-jimmy-kimmel-need-trump\/\">David Letterman<\/a> launched it in 1993.

When Colbert took over from Letterman in 2015, I was genuinely excited. I had written in <em>Public Discourse<\/em>, in January 2015, about the genius of his nine-year <em>Colbert Report<\/em>, how it ranked among the most brilliant and daring achievements in the history of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tv\/\">American television comedy<\/a>. My expectations for what he might do with CBS\u2019s larger platform were enormous. My disappointment over the decade that followed was commensurate. <em>The Late Show <\/em>is ending in circumstances that are murky, contested, and deeply revealing about where political <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/comedy\/\">comedy<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/states-cutting-ties-with-leftist-american-library-association-good\/\" title=\"States severing connections with the leftist American Library Association. Positive move.\">broader landscape<\/a> of\u00a0American discourse, stands in the age of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the disappointment of the CBS show, you must first understand how extraordinary the Comedy Central show was. <em>The Colbert Report<\/em>, which ran from 2005 to 2014, was built on one of the most audacious conceits in television history: Colbert played a pompous, self-aggrandizing cable news pundit, transparently modeled on the Bill O\u2019Reilly school of blowhard bravado, with such conviction and deadpan command that millions tuned in nightly to watch what amounted to a one-man theatrical performance. As I wrote a decade ago, it was like watching a Tony Award-winning actor reprise his role for a nine-year Broadway run. Except where theater actors are at least able to recite the same lines show after show, Colbert was working from a brand-new script every night. His appearances beyond the studio \u2014 testifying before Congress in character in 2010, roasting President George W. Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner \u2014 were acts of genuine artistic and civic courage. <em>The Report<\/em> was, at its best, not just funny. It was revelatory.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Illustration by Dean MacAdam for the Washington Examiner)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And then came CBS. On Comedy Central, Colbert was a must-watch. You never quite knew what he was going to do, because the character he had built was expansive and strange enough to go anywhere and say anything. On CBS, you always knew exactly what he was going to say. The monologue would skewer President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>. The desk piece would skewer Trump. The guest interview would pivot, at some point, to Trump. The format was not revelatory \u2014 it was reactive. When you strip away the character, you strip away the distance. Satire requires a certain remove from its target \u2014 the Colbert of Comedy Central had that remove built into his form. The Colbert of CBS was, increasingly, just a smart and angry man behind a desk, preaching to a choir that already knew every hymn. <em>Variety<\/em>, reviewing the final season, called the show \u201cnot very good TV\u201d and \u201cout of touch with everyday Americans.\u201d That verdict, however harsh, is not wrong.<\/p>\n<p>CBS announced in July 2025 that it would end <em>The Late Show<\/em> franchise entirely in May 2026, calling it \u201cpurely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night\u201d and stressing it was \u201cnot related in any way to the show\u2019s performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount.\u201d The cancellation came just three days after Colbert went on air to call Paramount\u2019s $16 million settlement of Trump\u2019s lawsuit over the editing of a 6<em>0 Minutes<\/em> interview a \u201cbig fat bribe.\u201d Paramount was awaiting Federal Communications Commission approval for its merger with Skydance Media, which required the blessing of a Trump-appointed regulatory apparatus. \u201cI absolutely love that Colbert got fired,\u201d a celebratory Trump posted on Truth Social. \u201cHis talent was even less than his ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colbert himself, in a diplomatically ambiguous <em>New York Times<\/em> interview, said he believed \u201ctwo things can be true\u201d\u2014 that the economics of broadcast late night had genuinely become unsustainable, and that something more ominous may also have been at work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLess than two years before they called to say it\u2019s over,\u201d he said, \u201cthey were very eager for me to be signed for a long time. So, something changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The economics are real: <em>Late Show<\/em> viewership had declined from a peak of over 3 million six years ago to roughly 2.4 million by mid-2025, and ad revenue dropped about 25% from 2022 to 2024. CBS\u2019s replacement for the franchise is Byron Allen\u2019s <em>Comics Unleashed<\/em>, a roundtable comedy program deliberately designed to avoid political humor \u2014 the TV programming equivalent of stuffing yourself with plain white bread and chugging a quart of milk after you\u2019ve mistakenly eaten a jalapeno pepper because your mouth is on fire and you\u2019re desperate to avoid anything that might renew the sensation that had been causing your tongue to burn.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This image released by CBS shows Stephen Colbert during a taping of \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u201d on Monday, July 21, 2025, in New York. (Scott Kowalchyk\/CBS via AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If Colbert\u2019s cancellation was the most dramatic front in the war between the Trump administration and late-night television, it is hardly the only one. In a story I covered in these pages in September 2025, ABC briefly suspended <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em> after Kimmel made comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. FCC chairman Brendan Carr threatened punitive regulatory action, including potential revocation of broadcast licenses, if Kimmel was not reprimanded. Broadcast station owners Nexstar and Sinclair pulled the show from their ABC affiliates. ABC eventually brought Kimmel back, whereupon he addressed the controversy on air but explicitly \u201cmade no apologies\u201d for his ill-fated joke.<\/p>\n<p>The confrontation has since escalated. In a parody routine last month, Kimmel, riffing on the upcoming White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner, quipped that Melania Trump had \u201cthe glow of an expectant widow,\u201d a joke about the age gap between the first lady and the president. (Even attempting to explain the joke still can\u2019t cover up its awful taste and even poorer judgment.) Days later, the dinner itself was cut short when an armed man attempted to enter the Washington ballroom. Both Trump and Melania then called on Disney and ABC to fire Kimmel immediately, with Melania calling his words \u201chateful and violent rhetoric\u201d and Trump declaring the joke \u201csomething far beyond the pale.\u201d Kimmel responded in his monologue that it was \u201cnot, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination.\u201d Reports emerged of an FCC review of Disney\u2019s broadcast licenses. This is the context worth remembering: In December 2024, ABC had already paid $15 million toward Trump\u2019s future presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit over remarks by anchor George Stephanopoulos. The pattern is\u00a0difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Late-night television is currently in the intensive care unit of the TV world, and it\u2019s doubtful whether it\u2019ll make it out alive. Oliver\u2019s HBO deal concludes in 2026. Kimmel has hinted at retirement. Fallon and Meyers remain at NBC through 2028, but their shows have absorbed significant budget cuts \u2014 Meyers lost his house band, and Fallon has cut to four taping days a week. Jon Stewart\u2019s <em>Daily Show<\/em> contract has been renewed for another season, but unlike Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert, Stewart is only on the air once a week, and it\u2019s unclear how much longer he\u2019ll want to continue after 2026. After Stewart goes, the <em>Daily Show <\/em>could very well go with him. Letterman himself recently said he \u201cwould be surprised\u201d if late-night television \u201clasts more than a year\u201d in its current form. The economics of streaming have gutted the advertising model that once sustained these productions, and that is a real part of the story. But economics alone cannot explain why a president publicly celebrates the cancellation of a program that criticized him, or why a regulatory agency threatens broadcast licenses over a comedian\u2019s monologue. There is something more than market forces at work here.<\/p>\n<p>What is at stake is the role comedy has historically played in American public discourse \u2014 a role going back to Mark Twain and finding its late-20th-century expression in Johnny Carson, Letterman, and then, most brilliantly, in the Stewart-Colbert axis of the early 2000s. Political comedy is not merely entertainment. At its best, it is a form of critique that reaches audiences pure journalism cannot, saying things straight that reportage cannot say because it operates under the cover of the joke. When that space is constricted \u2014 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-responds-to-claim-that-congress-is-trying-to-censor-big-tech-companies\/\" title=\"Elon Musk Responds to Claim That Congress Is Trying to Censor Big Tech Companies\">regulatory threat<\/a>, by corporate timidity, by audiences migrating to fragmented podcasts and streaming alternatives \u2014 something real is lost. Podcast hosts and YouTube commentators have picked up parts of the mantle, but their reach is different in kind, not just in scale. The nightly late-night broadcast, addressing a genuinely mass national audience, performed a specific and irreplaceable function in the democratic conversation.<\/p>\n<p>None of this diminishes what Colbert achieved. <em>The Late Show <\/em>won a Peabody and its first Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series in 2025 \u2014 the final season of its existence. Colbert was number one in his timeslot for nine straight seasons. And yet the CBS show, for all its accolades, never recaptured the electric, slightly dangerous quality that made <em>The Colbert Report<\/em> essential. It settled into a groove of anti-Trump leftism perfectly calibrated for its base but rarely surprising. The Colbert of Comedy Central encompassed the entire panorama of American political and cultural absurdity. The Colbert of CBS became, increasingly, a spokesman for one side of a binary argument. The difference is not trivial. It is the difference between art and advocacy, between a show that illuminated something true about the human condition and one that confirmed what its audience already believed.<\/p>\n<p>In his <em>New York Times<\/em> interview, Colbert was characteristically gracious about the end: \u201cEleven years is a long time to work here. And almost ten years before that \u2014 almost twenty-one years altogether, in late night. I feel so much better to be \u2018grateful for\u2019 than to be \u2018mad about.\u2019\u201d That equanimity reads less like complacency than the considered perspective of a man who understands, better than anyone, that the best work of his career happened at an earlier hour, on a smaller network, under a stranger set of constraints.<\/p>\n<p>When I wrote about the end of <em>The Colbert Report<\/em> in 2015, I asked whether Colbert would be remembered as one of the greatest television characters of all time, alongside Cosmo Kramer and George Costanza. I answered yes. I still stand by that judgment. The character he built on Comedy Central was one of the most brilliant and durable satirical creations in the history of the medium. The man who inhabited him remains one of the most gifted performers of his generation. But the CBS version of Stephen Colbert \u2014 the real man, without the character\u2019s protective armor of irony \u2014 never quite found a form equal to his gifts.<\/p>\n<p>On May 21, the lights will go down at the Ed Sullivan Theater for the last time as a late-night venue. Letterman will be there, though the franchise he built will not be passed to anyone \u2014 it will simply cease, replaced by <em>Comics Unleashed<\/em>, a program whose apolitical guiding philosophy is the inverse of everything Colbert represented.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/beltway-confidential\/4463962\/stephen-colbert-censorship-martyr-james-talarico-interview\/\"><strong>STEPHEN COLBERT DESPERATELY WANTS TO BE A CENSORSHIP MARTYR<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colbert, in his final <em>New York Times<\/em> interview, said: \u201cI don\u2019t have any problem with Trump being a Republican. I have a problem with Trump being a complete narcissist who is only working for his own interest and does not appear to care if the entire world burns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether or not this is true, and regardless of whether or not you agree with Colbert, it is honest insofar as it\u2019s perfectly reflective of what <em>he <\/em>believes. And it\u2019s precisely this honesty that reveals the ocean-wide chasm between the enervated earnestness of his CBS show and the comic genius of his Comedy Central work. On <em>The Colbert Report<\/em>, Colbert would not have said this. He would have found a way to make it funnier, and stranger, and more devastating. That is the measure of what was lost when the character went away.<\/p>\n<p>When Colbert ended <em>The Colbert Report<\/em> in December 2014, he staged a mock resurrection \u2014 defeating death and ascending to heaven in a sleigh driven by Santa Claus carrying Abraham Lincoln, Captain America, and Alex Trebek, leading a chorus of \u201cWe\u2019ll Meet Again.\u201d It was a finale worthy of the show: biblical, mythological, and absurd all at once. On May 21, as <em>The Late Show<\/em> credits roll for the last time, there will be no such mythology on offer \u2014 only the elegiac fact of a disappointing show ending, and behind it, the frustrating image of the great one that might have been.<\/p>\n<p><em>Daniel Ross Goodman (<em>@DanRossGoodman<\/em>) is a <\/em>Washington Examiner <em>contributing writer and the Allen and Joan Bildner Visiting Scholar at Rutgers University.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 21: Colbert hosts final Late Show, ending the franchise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2854,"featured_media":2603091,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Feat.Colbert1.052026.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[36543,79724,33295,38026,79723],"class_list":["post-2603090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-cultural-commentary","tag-late-night-comedy","tag-media-criticism","tag-stephen-colbert","tag-television-satire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Feat.Colbert1.052026.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2603090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2854"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2603090"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2603090\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2603098,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2603090\/revisions\/2603098"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2603091"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2603090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2603090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2603090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
