If ending The Late Show wasn't about Trump, why's he celebrating? - CNN The Source [View all]
Stephen Colbert put on an emotional and existential final episode of “The Late Show” Thursday night, thanking his staff, studio audience and viewers for eleven years of laughs.
Paramount cited financial pressures, but many Colbert fans blamed political pressures, namely Donald Trump’s contempt for Colbert’s frequent criticism of him. Paramount was urgently seeking the Trump administration’s approval of a media merger at the time Colbert was given marching orders last summer. - Aired on 05/22/2026.
