“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” will end its run in May of 2026! This is the best news we heard all week. It was a financial decision that Viacom/CBS will end the show. Colbert will no longer besmirch the Ed Sullivan theater. For over half a century the greatest entertainers on planet earth appeared on that stage: The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, the Doors, the Supremes, Rare Earth, the Supremes, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Richard Pryor, Jackie Mason and Geroge Carlin. When David Letterman hosted his show performers included: The Allman Brothers Band, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Johnny Cash. As for guests Letterman let the guests be themselves. Two segments that stick out was the interview with the surviving members of Led Zeppelin and Don Rickles and Denzel Washington.
As for Colbert, he is a hack. He made a name for himself by spoofing Bill O’Reilly. Poorly. When he moved up to network television, he brought his left-wing politics with him. Carson, Leno and Letterman kept their political leanings to themselves for the most part. Not Stephen. The apex of his crap show was pushing the vaccines with this cringe bit!
Good riddance to bad rubbish! And to Viacom/CBS: we’ll do the lase show for 1/4 the budget of Colber’s show!
