CBS is cancelling 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' next May, after a decade on air. Colbert announced this to his audience, eliciting boos and groans in response. Top executives from Paramount and CBS stated that the cancellation is purely a financial decision, not influenced by the show's performance. The announcement follows Colbert's criticism of a settlement between Trump and Paramount over a controversial '60 Minutes' story. Colbert labeled the settlement a 'big fat bribe' which has negatively affected his trust in the company.
Colbert announced to his audience that after ten years, 'next year will be our last season' and acknowledged shared disappointment over the show's cancellation.
CBS and Paramount executives emphasized that the show's cancellation is primarily a financial decision, not related to performance or other issues at Paramount.
