TV’s ongoing problems with late night have come for Stephen Colbert, with CBS announcing Thursday that it plans to end his “Late Show” after the next TV season, citing a “financial decision.”

The decision — which ends years of original late-night programming at CBS that started when the network lured David Letterman from NBC in 1993 — comes as the economics of wee-hours TV have begun to accelerate, with media companies growing wary of the high price tags involved in producing the shows while the young viewers they try to attract watch more of them via digital video.

crazy but stephen colbert's last night run is one of the worst ever

hopefully we can get proper political parody Colbert back

Get Jimmy Kimmel and his minstrel character Guillermo out ofh ere too

him & JS needa go ahead & just pod like the rest of these niggas

This absolutely has to be related to the 16mil settlement with Trump and Paramount (CBS owner). Colbert even alluded to it in one of his recent episodes where his show was cited for being critical of the administration

They def should have ended it a long time ago. I'm sure he's relieved lol watching that show is like watching a dog die. Should just call it the Trump show fr.

Thank god. End all of them and blacklist the hosts from ever working anywhere for the rest of their lives.

Conan is the only host and show with even a shred of entertainment value and integrity. But i would gladly sacrifice him if it meant all other late night talk shows ended asap.

Never watched but if it's because of Trump I hope he goes out like Conan did with the Tonight Show

I speak for EVERYONE when I say we want James Corden back

He’s probably just gonna start a podcast where he can talk s*** in peace who cares

y conan over john oliver?

Did Colbert get corny and bad as time went on? Yes.

Does this firing have nothing to do with the show and everything to do with the CBS/Trump settlement? Absolutely.

Because john oliver is one of the worst ones doing it right now. He's had such a negative impact on public discourse its insane

more and more good things are coming out of this presidency

The new Rush Hour looks crazy

please elaborate

He's the poster child of the condescending tone that has completely taken over modern political and social discourse — aka "my sports team is better than yours" narratives. Never wrong. Never conceding. Always correct. Yay for me but nay for thee. Zero empathy.

It's brainrot circle jerk garbage that has done nothing but enable the already embarrassing state of discussion about pretty much anything. The concept of actually understanding others who disagree is extinct, and Oliver has been a champion of that.

Censorship was always the plan
