'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' Will Be Canceled in 2026 After Hosts Contract Ends

One of the longest-running late-night shows in the U.S. is about to be retired after more than 30 years on air on CBS. Previously hosted by talk show icon David Letterman, The Late Show continued with Stephen Colbert following Letterman’s retirement in 2015. Now, Colbert is set to step down as host in May 2026 when his contract comes to an end, and the decision has been made that the show will be retired at that time.
