A staple of late night television is going off the air for good.
CBS and Stephen Colbert broke the news Thursday that the next season of ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ will be its last.
It will not return with a new host, either.
“We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘THE LATE SHOW’ franchise at that time,” wrote CBS. “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.”
The Associated Press reports the announcement came three days after Colbert spoke out against Paramount Global, parent company of CBS, settling with President Donald Trump over a “60 Minutes” story. The company’s pending sale to Skydance Media needs the Trump administration’s approval.
According to CBS, the decision has nothing to do with the host, the show’s popularity, or content. Instead, the company said it all comes down to money.

Nobody will notice.
“Pantheon of greats”
Who writes this crap?
Awwwww. I really wanted to try to watch it.
200 staff members?? Seriously. They must be losing money hand over fist with no ratings. CBS has thoroughly collapsed.
That was cbs official statement.
Where I used to work we called that a “shit filled twinkie”.
Financial? You mean those twelve viewers can’t keep it up anymore?
Yeah, another creepy lib bites the dust,I’m sure his 35000 viewers will really miss him.
So is there going to be dead air when the show is finally put out of its misery? My bet is that it will be replaced with NCIS reruns (which will get much higher ratings).
No worries, they will be able to find him on his weekly podcast, with the other 1,000 listeners.
Another 10 months of this moron along with his assinine commercials. CBS gave him another full season.
I’ll accept the reason. He could’ve made fun of the democrats from time to time-throw us a bone-but he couldn’t.
He’s overpaid. Staff too big.
Long enough for his 200 staffers to learn to code.

He bit the hand that feeds him and now it bit back.....what an ingrate.
Liberals.....common sense ain’t so common.
Another feelgood FAFO story.
The other late night shows will soon follow. Nobody watches them anymore.
His cancellation should have been immediate. This preening, obnoxious clown gets another year to moan and groan about how hard it is for decent people like him to live in Trump World.
What about the Twinkie?
Yep, they lose money. Pretty soon the accountants take notice.
Who is Stephen Colbert?
