CBS parent Paramount insists that this week's decision to cancel Steven Colbert's “Late Show” was strictly financial, and had nothing to do with politics.
The Daily Show ’s Jon Stewart, who recently called Paramount Global’s settlement with President Donald Trump “shameful”, has weighed in on the future of the late-night show.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be taken off the air after its upcoming 2025-2026 season, with its final episode slated for May 2026. That leaves Colbert plenty of time to shake things up without conventional pressures and speak even more freely.
Late night is adapting to digital media trends, but one area where it hasn't evolved is gender diversity. None of the eight major TV programs that air between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. are hosted by a woman.
