Late Show

The Daily Show’s Michael Kosta proved two things on the Monday edition of his Tennis Anyone podcast, so named because in his previous life, Kosta was a professional tennis player. First, apparently everybody has a podcast, but more importantly, the late night shows have an oversized view of their own self-importance, as Kosta demanded CBS take a loss on Stephen Colbert’s show…

Actress Sandra Oh put Stephen Colbert in a tough spot on Monday when she became the first guest to appear on The Late Show after CBS decided to pull the plug. As Oh wished that a plague would descend upon CBS and its parent company, Paramount, Colbert had to look right into the camera and insist that he did not share such views.

Stephen Colbert tried to suggest on Wednesday’s The Late Show that there was something contradictory or even hypocritical in CBS deciding to cancel him while parent company Paramount settled in a recent lawsuit with President Trump that could lead them to giving up around $36 million.

On Tuesday afternoon’s CNN News Central, host Brianna Keilar brought on liberal comedian Pete Dominick to dissect the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Dominick confidently suggested political motives were to blame, not CBS’s claim that the decision was “purely financial.”

Keilar asked Dominick what “the larger picture” might be— seemingly side‑…

Like many others in the liberal media, CNN’s The Situation Room co-hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown were quick to jump on the growing wave of fear that somehow spread from a flopping comedy show getting cancelled. In an interview with CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter, the three expressed their concerns over what Colbert’s cancellation meant for the future of late-night TV… and…

Despite having already spent nearly 12 minutes (11:38) on Friday morning decrying the stunning news of CBS cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today returned to do more pouting Tuesday about this show as one of many (far-left) late-night comedy as part of both media “institutions” and the “cultural Zeitgeist” as evidenced…

The men of late night reacted to the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with varying degrees of intelligence on their Monday shows. On the dumb end of the spectrum was fellow Paramount employee Jon Stewart, who reacted on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show by telling CBS to “go fuck” itself and dropping over 40 F-bombs.

On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former NPR president and CEO Vivian Schiller, commenting on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show, said: "Stephen Colbert is unafraid to again speak truth to power. He does it in a very bipartisan way over the years, and comedy and parody is an important part of a democratic ecosystem."

Once upon a time there was Johnny Carson. Or, as the host of NBC’s Tonight show was then known, “The King of Late Night.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump. Tapper admitted he had no evidence for this but still found the whole thing to be “interesting” and promoted anonymous sources to help him advance his conspiracy theory.

On Friday, it wasn’t that surprising CBS Mornings would be inconsolable over the “very sad” “kick in the stomach” Thursday night that parent company Paramount would be canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May, the home for late-night group therapy for liberals. While CBS said they “love this man” and are in awe of him, NBC’s Today even joined in and…

In the first episode after CBS announced it would be canceling The Late Show, Stephen Colbert welcomed Sen. Adam Schiff to the program to make the nonsensical claim that Congress passing President Trump’s rescission package, which included cuts to PBS and NPR, showed how Congress is ceding its spending powers to the executive. Additionally, both men would have positive things to say…

In a surprising move on Thursday, CBS announced that it will cancel The Late Show in May 2026. The show, which debuted in 1993 with host David Letterman, is currently hosted by Stephen Colbert.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert returned from two weeks of vacation on Monday, sporting a new mustache and attacking his Paramount bosses for giving President Trump a “big, fat bribe” for settling his 60 Minutes lawsuit. The Late Show host would also continue his faux heroics by suggesting Skydance might pressure or even fire him if their merger with Paramount is approved.
