CBS has cancelled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" after 12 years, citing financial losses of around $40 million annually. The move has sparked speculation about political motivations, with some suggesting that Colbert's criticism of former President Trump played a role. Colbert's show was a consistent ratings leader in late-night television, but CBS has decided to end the franchise in May 2026. The cancellation has been met with backlash from fellow late-night hosts, celebrities, and political figures, who have expressed their support for Colbert and criticized CBS's decision.
