“You don’t do this to family. Not after everything he gave you.” David Letterman SLAMS CBS as Stephen Colbert faces CANCELLATION SHOCK – Late-night TITANS rally in emotional stand as audience WITNESSES raw on-air rebellion that no one could have scripted
What began as an ordinary taping turned into one of the most jaw-dropping nights in late-night television history. Stephen Colbert, visibly shaken but unyielding, returned to his desk after CBS announced the unthinkable: The Late Show would be no more. The studio was packed—not just with fans, but with legends. Jimmy Fallon. Seth Meyers. John Oliver. David Letterman himself. And Letterman didn’t hold back. His words pierced the air, sending a message CBS couldn’t mute. What secrets led to this ambush? And why now?
The truth behind the curtain is darker than you think – don’t miss the full unraveling of this bombshell night.
Stephen Colbert hosted his first episode of The Late Show following news that CBS had cancelled the show on Monday, July 21. A litany of celebrities were in attendance at the taping, including Adam Sander, Lin Manuel Miranda, Weird Al Yankovic, Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, and Jon Stewart.
In the announcement of the cancellation, CBS’ parent company Paramount — seeking the government’s approval for a multi-billion dollar merger with Skydance Studios — claimed that the decision to cancel The Late Show was a financial one, which was a sentiment that many bristled at given that The Late Show pulls in higher ratings than both The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
As a sign of solidarity with Colbert, all of the other major late night hosts were in attendance: Fallon, Kimmel, Meyer, Oliver, and Stewart — with Colbert having personal relationships with the latter two from his days at Comedy Central.

In response to CBS canceling Colbert, iconic former Late Night host David Letterman also publicly took a stand against the network as he uploaded a 20-minute supercut of him ripping the network over the years and captioned the video “You can’t spell CBS without BS.”
Colbert, of course, also further addressed the cancellation during his lengthy monologue on Monday night, promising to take the gloves off over his final 10 months on the air.
“Folks, I’m going to go ahead and say it: Cancel culture has gone too far,” Colbert began.
“The gloves are off! I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump. Starting now…. I don’t care for him,” he joked.
