TL;DR Summary

Deadline confirms The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will bow on May 21, 2026, with CBS framing the end—announced by Colbert on Late Night with Seth Meyers—as a financial decision tied to late-night strategy, not performance. The show has run since 1993, earned an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series, and Colbert is set to receive the Walter Bernstein Award from the Writers Guild East next month.
