Stephen Colbert has established himself as one of the best in late-night comedy shows. With consistent success on «The Late Show», - the comedian, known for his wit and clean humor, has been hosting the show at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York since 2015. In light of news of the imminent end of the show, fans are accusing CBS and its parent company Paramount Global of selling out after a scandalous $ 16 million settlement with Donald Trump.
«This is not just the end of our show, this is the end of The Late Show on CBS», - Stephen told his audience on July 17, 2025. «I will not be replaced. It will all just disappear. And I want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners».
Stephen said he is «deeply grateful» to the 200 staff members of «The Late Show», - adding that he would like someone else to take his place and continue the show.
As of July 2025, Stephen has a net worth of $ 75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
CBS executives called the cancellation of «The Late Show» a «financial decision in the midst of a challenging late-night landscape», - noting that «it is not related to the show’s performance, content, or other events happening at Paramount».
However, the network’s decision has caused confusion. According to CBS News, the network even acknowledged that «The Late Show» had been a leader in late-night comedy shows for nine consecutive seasons.
«Our admiration, attachment, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team have made this painful decision even more difficult», - CBS said in a statement. «With great gratitude, we look forward to celebrating Stephen and the show over the next 10 months with his millions of fans and viewers», - the network said.
«I have had the privilege and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the past 10 years», - the comedian continued. «It's a fantastic job. I would like someone else to have it. It’s a job that I look forward to continuing to do with this regular bunch of idiots for another 10 months».
