Breaking news: “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026, CBS said in a statement. The announcement came days after Colbert spoke out against the $16 million paid earlier this month by Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

Boycott cbs Boycott paramount they are as bad as Musk. America is becoming Russia and the media loves it
Paramount are as weak as they come, never forget.
I don’t believe in coincidences.
As the mob says, "It's not personal, it's just business."
Paramount and CBS are cowards anyway just like WAPO.
@cbsnews.com cowards
Out-rage-out. CBS = Cowards Be Settling
Colbert rating average 2.42 million while CNN averages 500 thousand & Foxnews only gets a few million. Almost every TV networks would love sponsors gross revenue profits for several million viewers a night. Also, why isn't there a streaming services yet that leaves out expensive Foxnews?
Shari Redstone. Filthy whore.
Time for Colbert to get his own podcast where 3 million can watch the brilliant humor.
They paid trump money so he wouldn't out the pedophile that runs Paramount, and CBS trump knows because he's a pedophile as well
And I'm sure he wont spend the next year pissing them alll off. Love him
Apparently “financial reasons” doesn’t actually mean viewership challenges.
Landman season 2 needs to find a new streaming platform so I can watch.
Use torrents? 🤷♂️
Girl, we in trouble. Send help now. This is utter bullshit.
Soon all media in America will be propaganda machines for the fourth reich. Heil Trump.
They already are, and they are either left or right. I just look at all sources for the facts and make my own decision.
You don't do shit. You made a comment earlier that perhaps the show wasn't profitable. It gets 2.5 millions viewers per live episode in the late evening , that's prime advertising space. Of course it is profitable.
Losing $40 - $50 million per year didn't help.
Maybe blasting his bosses for settling the Trump case wasn't such a good idea.
Yet you choose fascism anyway. Way to tell on yourself.
Straight to the insult.
actual observation, not insult.
So you determined I am a fascist because I get my information from multiple sources?
No, you are a fascist, and you chose fascism despite having plenty of sources. You just admitted its your preference, not from brainwashing.
All the best independent media is on Substack right now.
Call it RT
Leave it to Trump’s own mouthpiece, WAPO, to announce that one of Trump’s networks, CBS, is cancelling a show that hurts the DICKtators feelings.
Paramount's loss and their shame. Colbert will land somewhere where he is still effective.
Donald said he sue them again over Colbert
I will follow him…
Follow him wherever heee may goooo.
There isn't an ocean too deep; a mountain so high it can keep—keep me away…
Everything good does under Trump
He can go to any other station and I will watch him there
Despise absolutely Despise cbs.overrated ass.
Retribution for 60 Minutes stepping on the Orange man’s mushroom.
We need him more now than ever.
Something fishy about this 🤔
Paramount is full of nothing but cowardice to kowtow to the Epstein defender.
Regardless of what they're claiming, I see this as part of the PAYOFF deal to Trump made by Sherri Redstone to get him off her back. Colbert is left of center and Trump wanted him off the air.
Dictatorship. Who would have thought, the US, the shining light on the hill, the democratic gold standard, has collapsed into a full-blown dictatorship.
AMERICANS..WE ALL KNOW WHY..THIS SHOW IS BEING CANCELED!!!.COLBERT...TOLD THE..TRUTH...ABOUT. DONALD TRUMP..THE REPUBLICANS....
COLBERT.. KNOWS THE BILLIONARES BOYS PLAY BOOK CLUB!!!.IS REAL. ITS AMERICA. RACIST. SEXIST. GREED. HATE THE GOVERNMENT..AMERICA SINCE ..CONSEPTION..
💯
He absolutely did! Trump’s a whiny little traitor felon rapist racist pedo bitch.
Jeez can you write a normal sentence?
I’ve watched 60 Minutes every Sunday since the 70s. I’m done with CBS! -with the exception of my local- Steve Templeton and his team of meteorologist on St Louis’s KMOV are essential for weather.
Oh, good, he has a YEAR to ROAST, absolutely SAVAGE certain corporate Quisling collaborators with the American Nazi Party.
youtu.be/OhNJx14sdRg?...
CBS: Your "eye" logo needs to be changed to the asshole "shpincter" muscle logo. It's appropriate. You have no spine.
Paramount needs to learn that sometimes, people--even businesses--have to stand on principle.
Wow now the dictator shut them down, because they hurt his precious damn feelings
It's karma for the way he treated Kathy Griffin. He bullied her into tears.
The USA is now a totally dystopian hell hole!
I was waiting for someone else to say it.
It looks like the constitution has been suspended in the usa? The US citizenry has a life defining choice to make! NOW! Do they tolerate to be overtaken by putin, run by maga, transformed into a ruzski style dictatorship controlled by a few oligarks or Fight for democracy
💔💔💔💔
Did you have to check with your "overseer's" before they would print this?
Yer a little slow on the uptake.
😢
Another pithy comment from the first of the legendary print media to bow to a dictator. The capitulation amongst our media is the greatest tragedy as America falls. Truly disgusting & sad.
Absolute chicken shit CBS. Ok, which big-wigs at CBS are on the Epstein list. I have no respect for CBS any more. You are flushing America down the toilet kowtowing to Trump!! Traitor!
Boycott CBS! They too, bend the knee to the felon. I will never understand how one sociopathic corrupt a-hole can damage the entire fabric of this once great country. At 70 yrs of age, I am seriously considering moving to Canada with my 94yr old mother whom I care for because this is just not right.
Canada doesn’t just let people in because you feel like moving. It’s a rather difficult country to immigrate to.
I believe I’d just rent for a few years. I’m an active RN so I was hoping to work and contribute to the country. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you.
You’d have a 6 month visa. As all US citizens do. After that you’d be in the country illegally. If you were sponsored to work there, that’s a different story. Your mom may get in with you as you’re her caregiver. But you won’t have heath care unless employed with visa.
Nurses are in high demand, and BC, in particular, has programs for quick recertification. Your mother may be a much harder case. Good luck to you. We need nurses.
We also have family reunification programs. Might be worth a try…
Welcome & thank for your potential contribution.
Was he not pro israel enough? youtube.com/shorts/KWOLk...
The Late Show was the only show I watched on CBS. Nothing else interesting. The payout and now The Late Show cancellation is the nail in the coffin. Not to everyone mention stupid Paramount +. I’m sure that payout was totally worth it. Buh bye
“Not to EVEN mention…”
This talentless shill has been hemorrhaging viewers for years. The hated for over half the nation has always been despicable and the vaccine pandering was literally vomit inducing.
@washingtonpost.com Aren't you guys owned by the billionaire dickhead with the penis shaped rocket ship or am I mixing up societal parasites? Haven't exactly heard many critiques from you guys about a certain someone.
Yep, his head is penis shaped too.
I hope everyone stops watching paramount shows. Losing the Colbert show will be devastating. At least he, his writers, and cast will be free to peruse other endeavors. Never pay off a bully bc it’s never enough. Choices were made!
Fuck paramount and cbs. I hate that cbs has nfl football. I’ll definitely skip those cbs games this season. Hell I can’t even watch the Raiders in the Bay Area and there’s enough football on other less offensive channels so I’m good
A good resource for boycott: List of assets owned by Paramount Global - Wikipedia share.google/01Wcwx9Koh3c...
Yep, already did! We cancelled back when they capitulated to tangerine mussolini’s extortion. Hope Colbert can speak more freely and creatively once he’s out from under corporate dominance.
I doubt seriously that Star Trek fans are going to cancel Paramount.
When your financial plans require bribing fascists it make perfect sense
Maga and Gop keep protecting the rapist. They haven't any morals they don't give a shit that he is on the Epstein list. Keep waving your Bibles, you hypocrites. Good job, Steven, calling a spade a spade.
😡😡😡
Probably part of the plea deal on the Trump v CBS lawsuit.
When Colbert leaves the air I will no longer watch CBS. Anything else owned by Paramount - no thanks. This is obviously part of the taco deal. So done with anyone or anything that bends the knee to this regime.
Trump thinks this will kick Colbert's voice out. But Trump is stupid and old school. CBS is no longer one of 5 Television channels. It's a rotting, decaying, desperate relic. Whatever Colbert does next will have more followers than CBS. Their prostitution at Trump's fascist feet will be fatal.
It is ridiculous all these companies and law firms are paying these settlements!
FUCK CBS
CBS and Washington Post have demonstrably appeased Adolf Trump. We need Naziism out of media. Block ‘em both.
Why are so many powerful people so afraid of an old, beat up, ignorant, diaper wearing, lying asshole. There's one of him, billions of us around the world. If we push back enough, whenever we get a chance, we can beat him. Keep at it, never stop.
This only applies to people with actual morals. The people who run Paramount/CBS have none. Their sole driving force in life is greed. They stand to make $billions$ with their merger (which requires Trump's approval), so sacrificing a few million dollars and the Late Show means nothing to them.😑
They won't be laughing when CBS and CNN fail and all that money is gone, because that's where they're headed.
100%
Billions of us recognise him for the asshold wannabee dictator that he is. Billions think he's wonderful though.
Billions...is pretty generous. Maybe 1. A single b.
People I meet outside the USA all seem to have a strong opinion on Trump, one way or the other. There's 8 billion people on the planet. I'm extrapolating (read: guessing wildly).
…And he has a Huge private ARMY….
He doesn't actually. He has maybe a few thousand extremely fat, stupid, or mentally ill (or all three) loudmouths who will shit their pants if faced with a few fit, educated, armed and sick to death of their shit real Americans.
I would venture to say the ice gestapo is and will always be from here on out his private army and they are better funded than our military
Nope. No billions think he's wonderful. 70 million maybe - all in USA. Even the leaders paying homage while they make plans to circumvent the USA laugh behind his back.
Yeah I hate to say it, not all in the US. I'm in Canada, probably 5-10% of the people here support him
They don't vote here. And all countries have a few groups of losers who blame everyone but themselves for their failures.
Yeah 100%. Trump's presidency has really shown me which one of my friends I should never have been hanging out with in the first place 😂
To them I say simply - Elbows Up😜
Oh we don't have to worry about that. They're up! Canadians are very nice until you piss them off. Not often that you see shouting matches here. But most of the time now, they are from someone coming across a vocal Trump supporter, and then giving them 100 reason why they're sooooo dumb 🤣
"all in the USA" - I have bad news for you. Young men here in the UK think he's wonderful.
Few do. They also think Tate is a great guy. Young, easy impressionable kids are not the point.
Many of my friends and family are Brexit-y tradesmen/working class types. They think Trump is ace. I really think it depends on where you live and who you talk to. It's a sad state of affairs.
Trump is an idiot.. Even many MAGA now see that, & definitely, many of the Billionaires that ride his coattails know it...! In England, he couldn't pass most of his bills through parliament, 'cos it is far less corrupible than the US system ...& his MP's would get stoned in the streets!
It's a lot fewer than they want you to think.
Have they received any education at all ? They condone rape, fraud, racism? There is nothing about orange face that is even remotely wonderful.... A 79 yr old demented failure killing machine is noone to look up to...
I don't claim to understand them and I'm definitely not here to defend them. I'd say that they're oblivious to the negative stuff. They've heard that he's persecuted and are therefore prepared to reject any serious allegation. The sheer quantity of allegations actually works in Trump's favour here.
Seriously??? I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't shoe him.
I'm guessing you're lucky enough to move in circles devoid of Reform voters.
They need to. It's fast becoming their world, and their responsibility to run. They'll need lots of practice, and help from us.
Got to say, reform is a swear word up here! Hopefully the young ones will emerge from their rabbit holes in time for the next election 😜
Ask them if this is how they want things, and push and guide them to make those changes.
lol. No.
Love Stephen. Screw CBS.
They probably don't like him talking. What about late-night TV? I remember being kept up by it. I, as a teenager, had a 'be-in-bed' order that didn't apply to the rest of the family. So I had to listen to them laughing, and wonder what they were laughing about.
What a shame! Something wonky there.
I’m not 70 or over so I wasn’t watching CBS at all anyway🤗
Ten moths of runway to slam the pedophile Trump regime. Hammer that fucker to the wall
This is bullshit! Our media is a joke. God forbid someone tell the truth.
He did the right thing he da bomb
Paramount's so desperate for their GOP-backed Skydance merger, they paid Trump hush money and axed Colbert — selling out journalism and the 1st amendment to appease an autocrat and his billionaire enablers 👇 bsky.app/profile/that...
This checks.
Seemingly separate, the obvious bending of the knee that is CBS parting ways with the top-rated generational talent of Colbert is veery much tied to the attacks on independent data acquisition, science, and education. Apparently, the road to dictatorship is greased with Regression.
The truth has a liberal bias.
Liars
Is CBS bending the knee here?
It’s really disgusting that CBS/Paramount now down and suck a tiny mushroom. 🍄🟫
Fuck CBS and fuck you too, WashPo
Here to comment that it’s rich that WaPo has anything to say. WaPo- you’re part of the problem.
There's a Spanish saying that goes "Para lo que me queda en el convento, me cago dentro". In English, it doesn't rhyme, but it translates as "For the rest of my time in the convent, I'll shit inside it". But I think you get the point. Hopefully he will put it into practice... #TheLateShow #Colbert
Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave so fast, it's the real reason for climate change.
CBS cancels Colbert, I cancel CBS. I will cancel anyone who bends a knee to TACO Donald.
I canceled CBS when they paid out the $16M.
And Paramount.
He needs to go to HBO MAX permanently. Get rid of no-talent Maher and let Colbert shine.
THIS!! THIS!! Colbert on HBO MAX, buhbye Maher.
Colbert beside John Olivier, that would be a formidable duo :)
Im not a big TV watcher. But I would keep one evening a week free for that combo.
Oh my gosh, yes! I'm always shocked to see that Real Time is still on the air. Does anyone even watch Bill anymore? This would be a huge get for HBO.
Also CBS might want to ask WaPo how to navigate #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount+ 🪦💀🪦
Yeah I agree I used to like Maher but I can't stand him now!
Yes please. Can’t stand Maher. And he also gets to do whatever he wants like John Oliver
They need to get rid of Zazlev over there too while they’re at it.
People hate Maher because he craps all over the Democrats while he does the usual riffs on Trump. What the audience fails to understand is that Maher would probably die before he ever votes GOP
But he is not funny. To me.
Add to that the threats on truth social to sue the Wall Street journal, and revoke Rosie’s citizenship over criticism of the President. Bye-bye freedom of speech.
Pay out the Pedo President and drop the talent. What cowardice.
I hope he goes on YouTube or something with his own show! I’d watch it.
Wow, shitty move CBS! 👎
Banana republic
Shame on CBS. #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount
Ugh Best idea I’ve heard so far is cancel your paramount subscription (tell them why) and donate the $ to your local public broadcasting network.
A had it and cancelled until another Yellowstone series comes out but I just decided yesterday, I'll find another way to watch it that doesn't include giving streams or $$ to Paramount/CBS and if I can't find another way, I'll just find something else to watch.
Noooooo , I am pissed .
Silver lining: Gives him time to set up his next gig. Should be plenty of opportunities. I hope he finds a great landing spot.
Purely petty reasons because he told the truth!
NO IT WASN'T,IT WAS BECAUSE HE SPOKE OUT
Big mistake
And Colbert is making them 20,000,000+ each year. SOB’s.
Highest rated late show gets cancelled as a quid pro quo to satisfy the greed of the clown king and his circus🤯🤯🤯
Dictators always silence their critics. This is just the beginning!
In two years, we will have only the Trump Channel to watch 😡😡
A big mistake by CBS. It is never wise to capitulate to Trump. The bully just keeps coming back.
And it will just give Colbert more freedom to attack Trump. Heck, I could see him running and winning like Zelensky
And for CBS/Paramount, I hope it does. Over and over again until their shareholders come after them.
I agree!! Bullies always come back and demand much, much more. Colbert will land in a great platform and I will follow him, but will never deal with CBS or Paramount ever again!!
Stephen explained that it wasn't Paramount per se but Politics per trump.
This day will go down in history as the day free speech died. Colbert 's last day at CBS will be the last day I watch CBS.
It was a financial decision. CBS understands the new rules of journalism in a dictatorship. They can't afford not to. FDT FMAGA
Hope thier not expecting me to watch the replacement show.
Apparently the C in CBS stands for Coward.
Coward and BS. Checks out.
😢😢
Highly suspicious! Bet some form of his show will ultimately be on Netflix, Prime or Hulu.
One of the first moves of an authoritarian government is to control the media.
It already has already set up the platform www.truthsocial.tv
My money is on they’re like “ our use full idiots will think its a cross”
Sure sounds like a purely financial decision. Not retaliatory at all, nope, huh-uh, no way.
Boycott CBS
wasn't $ 60.000.000?
We back you, Steve. The Board of Directors at CBS must be all Republicans with no spine.
Hopefully it's replaced with an entertainment show. CBS hasn't had one at night since Letterman
I hope Colbert go completely scorched earth on them and make them cancel his show before that date, for "financial reasons". Colbert doesn't need any more money, and we all know he will land on his feet anyways
I hope he does what Conan did and pays for his staff if they lose work. He should take them all with him to another network. Everyone should land on their feet here.
Or simply set up shop online. He’d do just fine.
I would certainly follow him if he went to streaming!
Good now do the view next
@cbsnews.com ...F*ck you CBS for kissing the Nazi's ring!... You will be losing RATINGS big time because of your Stupidity and chosen attachment to a damn Anti-American Dick-tator! ...What the hell is wrong with you?... Oh well, I will NOT watch ANYTHING on CBS except Colbert until next May!
Amen
I had recently thought about getting Paramount because we like Matlock but that just killed it for us.
CBS and paramount will continue to over index on creating police procedural dramas no one asked for aimed at +75 and up audiences.
I have no problem turning off CBS, though I believe all boycotting should be aimed at right wing media like FOX, OAN, Newsmax, etc.
Cool absolutely no reason to watch CBS now
Are they giving up programming the timeslot entirely or planning to replace the show (with another talk show or something else?)
Censorship. Call it
The next 10 months should be interesting.
Agree! Let that orange turd have with both barrels
The modern equivalent of feudal censorship. American democracy is fading fast in the hands of big money, big tech and huge media powerhouses. Most of the American people don't even realize what is being destroyed right now because they are undereducated.
What the hell @cbsnews.com? Pandering to authoritarianism? @colbertlateshow.bsky.social is a fantastic property and one of the most authentic and best late night hosts we need right now. Think of the ugly precedent are you setting.
Sad times
Fucking cowards. Fuck you @paramountpictures.bsky.social
I’m surprised he survived so long (probably number 1 rating) because ABC has been compromised for years … they can’t handle the truth. I’m sure some network will scoop him up and we will see him again….he just too talented. ABC’s huge loss
CORRECTION: CBS
CBS
Sorry meant CBS …
Well it’s a CBS show, so…
Sorry I meant CBS. …ABC is Kimmel
Good time to cancel those Paramount+ subscriptions and use the money to subscribe to PBS instead.
As much as I want to cancel now, I'm going to wait until May and watch every single one of his last shows.
He’ll just go to another network
Another media outlet complicit in supporting a pedo, felon, insurrectionist steaming pile of garbage human being. Just like the WAPO.
Pathetic on @cbs part! Can't handle the heat at all. Shameful
Fascist collaborators. Just like the Washington Post. We won’t forget you mother fuckers when this is all done. Bet.
I love Colbert as honest insights to politics! I am an avid fan! Sorry to see him go!
Another news station breaks under weak pressure of the dictator/ authorism fascist in control in the Felon Trump.. SAD for the country and @CBS.. they have shown they are weak.. STAND THE FUCK UP ,,, RESIST,,, RESIST...
Just as Bezos and the trump loving billionare, Ellison, who bought Paramount intended ... selling out America.
Stephen Colbert for President
He will find a new home easily.
Boycott CBS and Paramount
State TV wins out. Fuck you, CBS. Time to boycott them. Lordy, this list is getting very long.
Colbert is brilliant. I would love to see him on MAX, or any station where the powers that be have some spine.
Agree!
Max ie WBD bent the knee. Largest shareholder is right winger John Malone.
Do you mean they bent the knee by changing the name of their DEI policy to Inclusion? I can't find any settlements or other incidents similar to ABC and CBS.
Read an article about a month ago where WB bent the knee and called it the “price of doing business.” I’ll see if I can find and repost. I have friends there will check with them too. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if their biggest shareholder John Malone is friendly with Trump.
Any network should pick him up that doesn’t have cost per month! He has fantastic shows! I watch him on YouTube as won’t ever pay for cable again. I use internet to watch TV as it’s $30 a month!
Assuming you don’t live in the boonies, Colbert is on over the air “free” to tune in to watch TV. No Cable required… In Canada Global carries his show.
PURELY A FINANCIAL DECISION? ...B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.
Cowards
Extremely disappointed 😔
This is so fvcked up. 😢
Time to tell CBS sports you’ll no longer be watching golf on their channels
WAPO should know what happens when you bow to the orange ass. Same with CBS. I have no interest in either since they have no interest in people or democracy, just profits.
Kinda like your owner, eh? Bowing to the fascist Fuhrer?
just like their bribe to trump. purely financial.
Not cool #CBS
Fucking stupid.
Bullshit. It was one of the demands that Trump made to settle his lawsuit.
1,000,000,000% it was. It'll come out. Now the Daily Show is in jeopardy because of a possible merger with Skydance. They're looking to merge with Paramount Global, who owns Comedy Central. I won't make it theough this administration without those 2 on the air somewhere, that's for sure.
Medias Touch is inviting him to join their team. Making Midas Touch even better.
This just made my whole day. Good to know!
He hasn’t said yes but he was invited
That’s the only reason I have the CBS channel.
News broken years ago. Care to report? bsky.app/profile/niff...
bsky.app/profile/niff...
Biden should have sued "FOX News" so often that they'd fund dozens of Biden Presidential Libraries!
Not a good idea!
#ShameOnCBS for #FollowingInAdvance
Fyi: Yellowjackets eventually makes its way to Netflix. No need for the +.
And who wants to bet part of the settlement is that the show would be dissolved as the dictator doesn't like anyone speaking out against him, nor providing a soapbox for others to be interviewed and speak out against policies and possible bills? 😼
CBS are cowards, unlike Colbert.
Not worried about him—Colbert is talented enough to be offered a show elsewhere. He’s an intelligent funny man!💙 all his hilarious antics + he’s a great mime & dancer
Wait'll they get a load of what Colbert will say now!
All depends on the robustness of his remaining contract. But I doubt he'll say what really needs to be said. We'll see. I'm hoping you're right.
🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
I need to post this quote again: "If you don't consider your main job to be stopping the existential crisis of fascism, you should get a new job and stop being a journalist". - Abner Hauge, "Make Journalism Antifa Again"
Let’s show CBS and Paramount what “purely financial” means by never giving those cowards another dime (or second of attention)
Except obviously for the rest of Colbert
Spinless.
"By Paramount..." ... to WHO, WAPO?!
Boycott Paramount and its affiliates, permanently
Shut the fuck up Lex Monkey
What's the matter MAGA cuck, people protesting with their own money hurts your feefees? 🤣🤣🤣💩
Me thinks you're the cuck.......
I guess if you're stupid enough to actually PAY for that crap, knock yourself out!
Ha ha ha. That's the best you got, MAGA cuck? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nobody said anything about me paying for anything. Sit tf down. 💩😂
Way to go!
Yes!
HBO should fire Bill Maher and give his time slot to Stephen Colbert.
Or add Stephen and put them back-to-back, own the time slots! 🖕 CBS/Paramount
You're literally forgetting that the loser Colbert was losing $10 million annually
That would be great
death of free press and we just let it go on
How is this a 1A, free press issue? What happened to all the people that supported Disney when they failed to renew Gina Carano’s contract for something she said? She didn’t even say it at work and got let go and leftists said that it wasn’t a 1A issue.
Oh ok maga ai troll bot
Was that an attempt to answer my question or did you just want to announce that you read my comment but don’t know how to respond?
I know how to respond. I was not answering your question either. I was just calling you what you are. You wanna support racism, them go on truesocial and stay away from Bluesky.
Wait, so CBS/ Paramount canceling The Late Show next year is supporting racism? Please tell me how Steven Colbert having his show cancelled is racist?
Supporting Gina's racism.
What was racist about what Gina Carano said? Do you really not know about the controversy and you’re just throwing out “racism” because it’s the leftist catch all when they have nothing to add?
The leftist Catch all, really, like everytime trump is called on his lies and bullshit, blame Obama or Biden, and y'all dumbass fall in line with the dam lies, or the abuse of Illegal Immigrants, or laughing cause someone has cancer, or denying the Truth that your leader is a pedophile and EPSTEIN
Files does exist, or dismantling Black history, education dept, I guess he wants everybody to be as dumb as him and his dam cult, or the facts that he caused a dam insurrection and order his thugs and terrorists to kill his VP and Nancy or the fact that y'all know when you don't do what he says
Disney/Carano case yet to be resolved. This fall I think? She compared the treatment of being a Republican to the treatment of the Jewish people during the Holocaust did she not? Don’t know of any GOP folks forced to wear an Elephant patch and being shipped in rail cars to death camps.
I thought people were free to make comparisons to the treatment of the Jews during the Holocaust? Isn’t that what people do on BlueSky on a daily basis? Tell me that you haven’t heard anyone make any Nazi comparisons and the treatment of the Jews to people today.
People are free to do that, and their bosses are free to fire them for it if they're afraid it'll piss off customers. Paramount's not afraid of losing a customer. They're afraid of being retaliated against by the government. That's the difference between these cases.
Tabloid news just like faux!
Paramount CBS bowing to MAGA / White House / Republicans- just like you @washingtonpost.com
@cbsnews.com bunch of wusses.
He needs mental help. Not funny. Stupid.
totally political and to get their merger, given the show's popularity. Here's an idea, just reducee the budget if it's truly financial. You don't cancel your most popular shows.
“As the second quarter of 2025 wrapped, late-night’s pecking order held mostly steady—with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert topping the 11:35 PM hour in total viewers” CBS is either corrupt or run by cowards.
C. All of the above. I have no doubt it was part of the settlement agreement.
Can be both
And this shows that it was not simply a financial decision
I’m quite sure another network would love to pick up Colbert’s show. And, Spanky can ESAD.
How about @pbs.org ?
The Fascist Party of Amerika has voted to defund PBS & NPR. Because any entity that supports factual public information must be stamped out. Also, it’s not their business model. It would take enormous funding to put Colbert on PBS. It’s just not a practical solution, at this time.
Utter bullshit!
Cancel CBS !!!!
I plan to no longer watch … but I’m a tiny piece
Another, voice we are losing.this is fascism…
CBS just F*CKED the First Amendment & itself!
The First Amendment restrictions apply to US government, but not to corporations; corporations are generally free to infringe free speech, press, religion and the rest, while enjoying protections against government infringements. CBS just fucked the people, but pleased the shareholders.
Today's Stockexchange is the poison for all companies, it seems. As soon as they get there, the end is near. Greed has always existed! Yet today a mere stagnation is considered a failure, loss. NOTHING in life goes up only, but only spoiled brats try denying that.
Well, the thing with corporations is that they have only one duty: make profit for the shareholders. Every action and decision is expected to serve that purpose. CEO and the board can be held responsible, if they act in a way that significantly go against that purpose. 1/
So it's not like stock exchange and capitalism in general fosters greed; to maximise profit is the very point of it. Of course there could be other metrics, like to maximise prosperity of employees or to maximise contributions for the embetterment of society,but the shareholder is valued the most/2
The restrictions would apply if a corporation were to buckle under pressure from the government, and we know Trump has called for Colbert's cancellation publicly. The only way to know if a violation occurred here would be through legal action - but it's not an unrealistic assumption.
The party trick of Trump's regime is to know how to violate laws and norms without being held accountable. After Trump is gone, others will attempt to mimic him now that he has shown what is possible.
Oh, 1000% truth there.
I say, Fuck CBS.
If Trump administration had something to do with this then what?
Then nothing, I suppose. USA has become autocracy where laws are more like suggestions and apply only to the people beneath the ruler, never to the ruler him/herself. Much like it used to work when Tzars ruled Russia: serfs suffered the law, boyars ruled over the serfs and Tzar was above all law.
Well no more CBS I guess

Is the video of Kraznov having new victims pointed out by Epstein supposed to be AI now? Is that the new lie?
Unfortunately CBS is full of bunk and just an excuse etc
Trump will make CBS beg and scrape and crawl for their merger with Paramount. Then when CBS does everything. Trump will cancel the merger.
Well thankfully they did this right before I renewed my paramount + subscription. That made the decision not to easy.
Free speech is not okay anymore if you speak out against the Trump regime or the rich
It was a financial decision. I'm guessing, but I think TACO wanted him fired, and it was part of the Paramount extortion agreement.
Sounds like someone got their feelings hurt. Truth is a tough thing to hear sometimes. Oh Paramount, you need a timeout to reflect on your actions. May Colbert be successful in his new endeavors…and make lots of money.
FCBS and Redstone
EVERY American should be waking up to the obvious. Trump is an Authoritarian seizing control of every aspect of our formerly free lives. I don’t watch Bannon, Rogan, Kirk, Fox. I CHOOSE a different channel, not slither in the fine print of a deal and cancel them.
When one door closes another one opens. Can’t wait to see where he lands cuz I’ll be there.
