Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said the public "deserves to know" whether CBS’s decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Thursday was politically motivated.
"Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better," Schiff wrote.

The show is not continuing with or without Colbert. Sounds like they want different programming at 11:30pm.
Some time ago I counted the number of Leftists who appeared as guests on late night TV versus conservatives. As I recall, it was like 11:1 for the Left. This is why these two clowns are upset, not because of Colbert...it was a free campaign platform for them.
Stephen Colbert should start a Youtube pod cast.
If he has an audience he will succeed, if not, he fails.
Funny!
I got written up for browsing FR at work.
CBS should just say...”Yep. It was political. What are you gonna do about it?”
Dumbasses running in fear.
Yep, it WAS for political reasons. Colbert was chief delegate of the a$$hole party.
Everything Democrats do is partisan snd political.
Let’s count up the number of “conservatives” that have lost their jobs or had disciplinary letters placed in their files because they support MAGA?
Oh, yeah. Like...I’m one.
Somewhere a district court judge is going to issue an injunction to prevent CBS from firing its own employees.
Colbert insulted the executives at CBS who sign his paycheck. Anyone who insults their boss should expect the possibility of consequences.
I don’t recall any members of Congress expressing concern back around 2017, when the networks added shows specifically to serve up anti-Trump sentiment to the Dem audience. The “Will & Grace” reboot was one such example that was a steaming pile of “political reasons”.
Maybe these two POS should get a Go Fund Me page going to raise the 15 million a year they were paying this dip wad.
AHAHAAHAAAA Schifty, you're to blame!
I’ve had leftist politicians “demand” answers of me before. I literally just ignored them. When asked by a reporter what our response was we responded “we’re unaware of any request, but will be happy to look at a lawful request when and if one is sent through proper channels.”
They went away, as all they have is bully tactics and the media microphone.
Interestingly Coldblatt himself said, "This show will not be replaced.", suggesting Skydance already has different plans for 11:30pm.
Talk shows have lost their demos to online on-demand entertainment. CBS could run live Pacific Time sports in that slot and make more money.
Can’t Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. do something useful and demand to know why “Leave it to Beaver” and “My Three Sons” were cancelled?
Oh my. The left is worried that something gets cancelled for political reasons? They would NEVER demand something like that. No. No way. Wouldn’t happen.
Why tweet, just call the CBS President and ask. He's certainly your buddy.
Today's leftist comedians drip with TDS hatred, it's palpable. It's not funny.
Yes, Maskot. Why is this any concern to Warren and Schiff(ferbrains)?
The lefturds weaponize politics in general, and then whine when it turns on them.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Dhimmicrat.
The dude was not turning a profit.
In the real world, when something you are selling doesn’t make money…you either just the costs or cut the product.
And when the product is “difficult”, it is much easier to cut it than improve it. I imagine none of this was a shock to Colbert. The rest of us just happened to be brought in on it late.
