The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has been cancelled and will end in May, with network CBS announcing it will retire the Late Show entirely after a 33-year run.
Colbert, who has hosted the talkshow since 2015, announced the news during Thursday night’s taping, telling the audience he had only been told the news the previous night.
As the audience booed, he said, “Yeah, I share your feelings.
“It’s not just the end of the show, it is the end of the Late Show on CBS. I’m not being replaced, this is all just going away,” Colbert said.
He said he was “grateful” to the viewers and the show’s 200-strong crew.
“Let me tell you, it is a fantastic job,” he added. “I wish someone else was getting it. And it is a job I am looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months.”
