CBS will end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and retire "The Late Show" franchise in May 2026, the company announced Thursday.
The co-creator of The Daily Show has called out CBS for canceling Stephen Colbert’s late-night program, saying it indicates the network is “afraid.” Lizz Winstead appeared on MSNBC on Sunday after authoring a scathing op-ed in Rolling Stone on Friday that cast doubt on CBS’ assertion that it canceled The Late Show purely for financial reasons.
