Seth Meyers also reacted among other prominent political figures and Hollywood stars sharing their disgust over the news that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' will end its run in 2026, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus,

CBS’ decision to end The Late Show in 2026 has left both Hollywood and viewers in shock. On Thursday, the network announced that it will end its late-night talk show, hosted by Stephen Colbert over the past decade, in May 2026, amid financial issues at the network.

It comes days after Stephen publicly called out CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for settling a $16-million lawsuit with Trump that it previously called meritless, with Senator Elizabeth Warren now writing: “America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Show' host, who started his Monday broadcast addressing his ‘Late Show’ counterpart’s cancellation, also posted on social media last week about the news.

The surprise news that CBS is pulling the plug on Stephen Colbert's late show next year has prompted much chatter about the network's motives. CBS insists it was purely a "financial decision," but skeptics see politics at play.

Jimmy Kimmel has been vocal with his dislike for Donald Trump's presidency and famously expressed disappointment over his 2024 victory.
