I believe CBS lost the benefit of the doubt two weeks prior, when they sold out their flagship news program to pay an extortion fee to said president,” Jon Stewart said.

Stephen Colbert received the help of some surprise guests during a Coldplay-inspired segment that trashed CBS’s cancelation of his show. “People out there are bummed about the show ending,” Colbert began.

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is the ratings king of late night with 3.1 million average viewers, despite what Stephen Colbert may be telling his audience.

Stephen Colbert labeled himself a “martyr” for getting his flailing late-night CBS show canned — while telling  President Trump on-air to “go f–k yourself.”

Stephen Colbert's Late Show will end in May 2026 as CBS faces financial concerns, while politicians like Bernie Sanders question if the cancellation relates to Trump criticism.
