CBS announced on Thursday that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' would end in 2026, but the timing, coincidental or not, comes as Paramount tries to sell itself to Skydance.

CBS says its decision to end Stephen Colbert’s late-night comedy show is financial, not political. Yet even with the ample skepticism about that explanation, there's no denying the economics were not working in Colbert's favor.

Comedian Stephen Colbert hosted the satirical ‘The Colbert Report’ before taking over ‘The Late Show’ in 2015. Read about his shows, wife, net worth, and more.

The president on Friday openly basked in the news and suggested that Jimmy Kimmel might be "next" in losing his late night job.

Stephen Colbert announced at the Thursday evening taping of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that his show would be canceled at the end of the season.

Before Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" was canceled, Jon Stewart hadn't "heard anything" about whether his Comedy Central show would be canceled.

Stephen Colbert took viewers by surprise this week when he announced The Late Show would be heading for the big TV schedule in the sky. The long-running series, which he has hosted since 2015, will leave screens next May. And not because Colbert is being replaced by a new presenter - the show is ending altogether.
