david Letterman has voiced skepticism regarding the stated reasons for the cancellation of “The Late Show,” suggesting that financial motivations may not be the sole or primary driver behind the decision.

Letterman questioned the timing of the cancellation, implying that the financial losses cited might have been ongoing for a considerable period. “You’re telling me losing this kind of money happened yesterday?” he asked. “I bet they were losing this kind of money a month ago. I’ll bet they were losing this kind of money six weeks ago, or they have never been losing money.”

He further cast doubt on the financial health of CBS News, noting its continued operation. “Take a look at the CBS news. It’s still in business, and I’m not certain that that’s a profit centre,” he commented.

Colbert’s Late Show Cancelled Amid Trump Controversy and Merger Talks

written by Julia Evans – Entertainment Editor

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has expressed meaningful concerns regarding the cancellation of The Late Show, suggesting it could be a “bribe” to appease the Trump administration. The WGA cited Paramount’s prior settlement in a lawsuit brought by President Trump concerning CBS News as a potential factor, fearing the cancellation might be an attempt to “sacrifice free speech to curry favour wiht the Trump administration” as the company seeks approval for a merger.

jimmy Fallon, host of NBC’s The Tonight Show and a peer of Colbert, shared his surprise on Instagram, stating, “I’m just as shocked as everyone.” Fallon, who had previously been called “the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show” by Trump, added, “I really thought I’d ride this out with him for years to come.”

Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC’s late-night program, also offered his support to Stephen Colbert, tweeting, “Love you Stephen.”

CBS released a statement on Thursday, expressing pride in Colbert’s tenure, saying, “We are proud that Stephen called CBS home.” The network added that Colbert and his show “will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late-night television.”

Colbert, who transitioned to hosting the late Show in 2015 after a successful run on Comedy Central, was known for his incisive political commentary delivered with humor. His move to CBS marked a significant moment in the evolution of late-night television.

The late-night television landscape has historically been characterized by satirical comedy programs that merge entertainment with political commentary.For many decades, these shows have served as cultural touchstones, with hosts such as Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, David Letterman, and more recently, Colbert, Fallon, and Kimmel, influencing public discourse through their blend of humor and celebrity interviews.
