Stephen Colbert’s long-running late-night show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, will wrap up in May 2026, marking the end of an era for CBS’s flagship talk program. No official reason was given, but the announcement has already sparked speculation about Colbert’s next move—and who might fill his time slot.
Editor’s Note: Late-night TV is losing one of its biggest names, and fans will be watching closely to see what Colbert does next—whether it’s a new project, a break, or even a shift to streaming. For CBS, it’s a major shake-up; replacing a host of Colbert’s caliber won’t be easy, and the network’s next move could redefine its late-night lineup. If you’re a fan of sharp political satire or just enjoy Colbert’s wit, now’s the time to savor these last two years.
