I put this in politics for a reason. This cancelation I see as purely political. And due to a political buy-out.
Sad to say that I saw this coming. 😔

CBS is axing “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, the host told an audience at a taping Thursday.
The announcement came three days after Colbert spoke out against Paramount Global, parent company of CBS, settling with President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” story.
Colbert told the audience that he had learned the night before that “Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending the Late Show in May.”
The audience responded with boos and groans and Colbert said, “Yeah, I share your feelings.”
In his monologue on Monday night, he said he was “offended” by the $16 million settlement reached by Paramount, whose pending sale to Skydance Media needs the Trump administration’s approval.
“I don’t know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company,” Colbert said. “But, just taking a stab at it, I’d say $16 million would help.”
He said the technical name in legal circles for the deal was “big fat bribe.”
Paramount and CBS executives said in a statement the cancellation “is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
