Stephen Colbert got an assist on 'The Late Show' from some of his late-night rivals following CBS's sudden decision to axe the show.

Given that the last “celebrity” in the crowd was a cartoon Donald Trump, seemingly drawn in the style of the Colbert-produced Tooning Out The News, Miranda said, “Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on.”

Comedian Rob Schneider has lashed out at Stephen Colbert days after celebrating the cancelation of late-night host’s show with a reference to former late-night host Johnny Carson.

The former "Late Show" host took on the network after it announced its plans to take his old program off the air.

Radio host and podcaster Megyn Kelly tried to take a victory lap after the announcement last week that Stephen Colbert ’s Late Show would be canceled by CBS after 10 years on the air and despite it being the highest-rated show in its time slot.

After CBS said it was canceling "The Late Show," people online claimed its host announced a new show in collaboration with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

Stephen Colbert's Late Show will end in May 2026 as CBS faces financial concerns, while politicians like Bernie Sanders question if the cancellation relates to Trump criticism.
