"Yes, late-night television, as we have known it since around 1950, is going to disappear. But those voices are not going anywhere. People like Stephen Colbert are too talented and too essential to go away," O'Brien said. "Stephen is going to evolve and shine brighter than ever in a new format that he controls completely."
Colbert took over "The Late Show" on CBS from former host David Letterman in 2015, but the gig has an expiration date. CBS announced that "The Late Show" will be canceled effective May 2026 with no replacement host being selected for the program. Many supporters of Colbert have claimed his show was canceled because he was a frequent critic of President Donald Trump and parent company Paramount was trying to curry favor with the Trump administration in order to get approval for a company merger.
