CBS has cancelled The Late Show and announced Stephen Colbert will serve as final host until May 2026 days after he called out his parent company's "bribe."

Colbert’s tenure at “The Late Show” began in September 2015, when he took over for original host, late night legend David Letterman. Colbert rose to fame as host of Comedy Central’s popular news satire show “The Colbert Report,” which ran from 2005 to 2014.
