CBS Cancels The Late Show

Colbert's last show will be May 2026.  Apparently the show is just ending, there will be no replacement.  Colbert was visibly shocked when he shared the news with his audience.

I was a huge Colbert Report fan. I still believe it was one of the greatest comedy shows of all time (even outside the political sphere). But I have only watched a few episodes of his late night show. It is so bland and cringeworthy, I am not too shocked it has been canceled.

I wished Stephen had taken The Colbert Report to HBO when John Oliver debuted Last Week Tonight.

I too enjoyed his Comedy Central show and was shocked when his late night show was something totally different. I thought it was just me reaching my "Get off my lawn" phase.

Unfortunately, network TV is dying a slow death. 

The next set of NFL rights could very well speed up that death.
