Stephen Colbert Announces Late Show Cancellation After 10 Years | E! News
Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May. And a brave face on Steven Colbear one day after learning The Late Show was on its final run with the late night franchise effectively cancelled at CBS. I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away. I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I’m so grateful to the Tiffany network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. In a statement on July 17th, Paramount calling this purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance or other matters happening at Paramount. And I am extraordinarily deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here. We get to do this show. We get to do this show for each other every day, all day. And I’ve had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years. And let me tell you, it is a fantastic job. I wish somebody else was getting it. Steven stepping into the role following David Letterman’s exit in 2015. A decade later, the 61-year-old promising fans they’ll make the most of their remaining 10 months on the air before entering the Ed Sullivan Theater in May for the Late Show’s Last Laugh. It’s going to be fun. Yeah. Y’all ready? I’m going to lock in. Y’all ready? Let’s go. Y’all ready? Okay, that’s all I wanted to say. [Music]

Colbert: I'm a coward and I sold out years ago
I love the Late Show. I can't believe it.
It won't be the last of him
Goodbye!
Love you Stephen Colbert❤😢
So part of the bribe that CBS paid Trump included canceling the show that criticises him and his administration? That's the "purely" financial decision..
The View is next…
😂😂😂😂😂
So long, Steveo! Ya commie sellout!
I will follow you Mr. Colbert anywhere
Thank you CBS! 🎉
Yay!!!!! 👏
Right now I feel like Donald Trump is literally destroyed in the whole entire world is this man Lord Darth Vader or demon of what is this man what is this man that everybody is allowing this man to destroy everything that is good
Clearly a part of the settlement paramount did with Trump. Freedom of speech for me but not for thee
See ya!
He hasn't been funny for 10 years, good riddance enjoy your money
In a time of tragic decline of democracy, freedom of speech and rule of law in the United States of America the Late Show was about the last beacon of hope. Now it will be gone. The whole world can feel sorry for America.
When you suck, you suck. He's lucky he wasn't canceled 2 years ago. A money loser for CBS.
Good news. Thanks E News. Hopefully some others will be cancelled to.
CBS & Paramount suck!
Yaaaaaaaaay …..less Bs racist propaganda
Jay Leno spotted slipping an envelope under CBS's door this morning marked 'Guys, I got a great pitch for a new show…'
YESSSSSS ❤ 🎉 😂
FAFO. Stephen forgot he's not the boss. 🤣 Stephen and the rest let their politics get in the way. They're propagandist and unfunny. Johnny Carson was the king because he cared about being funny and entertaining everyone. Not, just one political party. Good Riddance.
It is 100% political. the networks are showing they are scared of trump
What? No more USAID for your bxllshxt?
Please dont come back u dirtbag
Go Woke Get Broke
