David Letterman Rips CBS Over ‘Late Show’ Cancellation
Digest more
CBS will end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and retire "The Late Show" franchise in May 2026, the company announced Thursday.
The end of The Late Show at the end of the 2025-26 season will leave CBS without a late-night presence for the first time since 1993, when David Letterman moved from NBC to launch The Late Show. Colbert took over the show in 2015 and has been a consistent ratings leader among the network 11:35 p.m. shows for much of that time.
Rumors about the $40 million annual losses appeared to stem from reports published by a media outlet called Puck and the New York Post.
