CBS said The Late Show ’s cancellation was purely based on finances, despite Stephen Colbert being considered one of the best late-night hosts on a show that was comfortably winning its timeslot in the ratings.

Stephen Colbert took a moment in his monologue Thursday evening to praise the 'South Park' premiere for its AI-generated clip of Trump in the nude.

Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late night show would be ending in May 2026.

A review by Fox News Digital found that left-wing journalists and other media figures made hundreds of appearances on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

“Luminarieses,” Colbert repeated as the audience laughed. “Somebody’s ‘brain power’ is in low battery mode.” He rolled a clip of Trump complaining about the term “artificial intelligence” because “I don’t like anything that’s artificial.” Given the president’s famous love of fast food and Diet Coke, Colbert found that claim hard to swallow.

As host of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the comedian has been successful, receiving critical praise and leading the program to regularly becoming the top-rated late-night show, outpacing his younger rivals Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel — albeit against the backdrop of what Reuters termed “late-night TV’s fade-out.

While reveling in the latest Wall Street Journal bombshell regarding the Epstein files and Trump’s knowledge of the inclusion of his name, Colbert highlighted a list of apparent nicknames for the former president that he jokingly claimed were also in the files. One in particular, however, stood out: “Micropenis DJT.”

The Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's attacks on Barack Obama were distracting from his handling of the Epstein files.

Stephen Colbert offered his corporate bosses a simple math lesson after President Donald Trump claimed the company would pay up millions more than had been initially reported as part of a widely criticized settlement.

After the Wall Street Journal's report on Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Colbert joked that Elon Musk is "always right about everything."

Paramount announced last week that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would be ending in May 2026. While the company claimed the move was a purely “financial decision,” speculation has swirled over whether Colbert’s sharp criticism of Trump had anything to do with his ouster as Paramount looked to get its merger approved.
