Stephen’s five-night-a-week CBS talk show has been nominated for 33 Emmys and has maintained steady viewership since it first premiered in September 2015.
Despite finding success both critically and commercially, CBS announced on Thursday that the network has made the shocking decision to end the series.
“We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise in May of 2026.
“We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television,” CBS said in a statement, first obtained by Variety.

They added: “This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.
“It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
According to the outlet, Stephen, 61, was informed of the decision just hours before it was publicly made.
The TV titan found out on Wednesday night and told his live studio audience about the disappointing news on Thursday, an eyewitness claimed.
