I’m gonna go with the audience’s visceral groan when Stephen Colbert broke the news that The Late Show is finished in May of next year. No replacement host. The show will just not exist anymore.
If anyone is left who thinks this is just a business decision by a network trying to keep its head above water, then you’ve been sitting in the sun for too long.
And The Daily Show, too? Apparently, the new Dark Ages are upon us. I wonder if Colbert will even make it to May 2026. If he does, I hope he goes out with a bang. And Stewart, too.
Hopefully, there will be a network somewhere who will dare welcome them to the fold, if they still have the fire in ’em.
