Stephen Colbert announced on "The Late Show" that it will end in May 2026, concluding the CBS franchise due to financial challenges in late-night television. The cancellation sparked controversy, with some suggesting political motives linked to Colbert's criticism of former President Trump and CBS's recent Trump lawsuit settlement. Despite being the top-rated late-night show for nine seasons, declining traditional TV ad revenue and a shift to digital platforms have impacted the format's viability.
