Senator Adam Schiff, D-Calif., And Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Said the public “deserves it to know” The decision of CBS to cancel “The late show with Stephen Colbert” on Thursday was politically motivated.
“I just completed Stephen Colbert, who announced that his show was canceled. When Paramount and CBS end the late show for political reasons, the public deserves it to know. And deserves it better,” Schiff wrote.
Warren added: “Colbert’s show just three days after the Cobs mother Society Paramount for his 16 million dollar settlement with Trump -a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know whether his show was canceled for political reasons. Look at his message.”

In a statement, CBS said that the long-standing late night show would end in May 2026, but “purely financial decision against a challenging background in the late night” and added: “It is in no way related to the performance, content or other affairs of the show at Paramount.”
There was speculation about the future of the late night programs in Paramount, which also include “The Daily Show” on comedy Central, since the planned corporate closure with SkyDance Media is expected to take place later this year.
