Social The Late Show w/Stephen Colbert Gets Canceled

[Rhood]

CBS executives have announced that they have canceled the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, just days after the host blasted the network's settlement with President Donald Trump as a 'big fat bribe.'

Colbert's show, which began in 2015, will now come to an end in May 2026, executives with the network and Paramount, its new parent company, announced on Thursday.
'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,' they said in a statement, according to Deadline.
'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire the Late Show franchise at that time,' the executives continued. 'We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and his broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.'

The network explained that the decision to cancel the show 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,' it added.
But the announcement comes just days after Colbert slammed the network for settling the president's lawsuit for $16 million.

Makes sense. Colbert, Stewart, Oliver..all of them are irrelevant now but networks still think there’s an appetite for left wing talk “comedy” shows

It’s just unfortunate they had to co-opt and destroy the traditional late night shows with their niche bullshit to get here.

Ratings were shit. Colbert was getting whooped by fucking Gutfeld every night despite Gutfeld being on basic cable and Colbert network.

I actually think the networks are realizing there is NOT an appetite for it. That is why they are canceling the entire show. Republican Party is becoming more popular, where as democrats are exhausted after years of Trump, thinking they finally had him cooked, going to jail, no way he would win again…. Only to now have to endure 4 more years.

Complete demoralization.

Crazy that FOXnews of all places is one of the few cable entities not only maintaining, but doing very well.

Finally... something funny about that show.

Colbert is almost as pathetic as Jimmy Kimmel. What they did to what Carson, Letterman, Leno, and even Arsenio Hall created is just sad. They should have stuck with the tall red headed goof over these clowns.

I think he's far worse. Kimmel will actually tell a joke now and then that isn't political, and I think he worked his ass off far more that Colbert, who basically got famous over playing off of Jon Stewart for a few years. Dude went so far as to take Jon Stewart to task, when he wasn't saying what his overlords wanted him to.

I've never seen somebody sell out so fast and so hard. I LOVE that his name will forever be synonymous with killing "The Late Show". He deserves every last bit of it.

This is the moment it all turned, the video below. Which is my preface to a rant.

Obama basically being a celebrity in a way that other presidents hadn’t been with certain groups. Along with Internet, smart phones, things going “viral”. Along with basically being untouchable because of DEI and wokeness. Like dailyshow or jokesters comparing George bush to a monkey. Yea, no mainstream media would ever touch something like that with Obama. Especially when the alternative is the tea party movement, which mainstream media readily portrayed as red neck racists who hate women.

Anyways, the Obama years started this hyper polarization. Along the way, all these networks obviously picked their side, whether it be actual news programs, late night talk shows, day time talk shows, etc.

They now have lowest trust ratings ever, lowest viewership, they lost. Trump is even now suing the Wallstreet journal over today posting the most obvious BS “birthday letter”. Wallstreet journal is owned by the Murdochs, who also bet against Trump multiple times, Trump being an extension of the tea party movement

basically the culmination of this polarization where #blueAnon and #LBGTQanon and their global transtifada, trying to make martyrs out of people like George Floyd and Greta, have simply lost. At least in America.

The opinion of everyone in this thread: "Anything I don't like shouldn't be on TV!"

I very much dislike Trump, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest that there are right wing shows that constantly talk shit about the Democrats and what they do/don't do. Some of you are really triggered lol

I dont think the right wing had anything to do with getting his show canceled. Well other then they just didn't watch it, but they never did. It wasn't built or run to get them watching it. It appears you democrats or the left in general could keep it going.

I don't even know who it was for. Leftists don't watch this type of shows and liberals are basically only boomers and old genx that are asleep at the time the show is on.

There are unfunny right wing shows like Gutfield or whatever his name is. This version of Colbert was unfunny and obnoxious. Like most things on cable TV, it turned into lazy partisan slop

Exactly. No one is saying he should be able to speak out, I am sure he will on social media, as he has a large following.

But it is funny from our (a right winger) perspective that they basically killed the late night comedy show format by basically all going left wing partisan.

Which is evident by the entire show being canned, rather than just Colbert being replaced.

“Let the right wing cry and try to create their own media sphere” - same people trying to frame this as right wing cancel culture

I saw this show once. I was very confused why they allowed someone to tell the truth on a leftist show. I honestly didn't know that was allowed.

This is what you clowns just don't get. Nobody is saying Colbert should not be allowed a platform. THAT is what Cancel Culture is and that's your tactic. You try to pretend people choosing not to watch something is Cancel Culture because you're tired of being called out for the real thing. Colbert sucks and America is tired of late night talk shows becoming political lectures.
