Now, with just weeks left to go before the new year, The Late Show is running out of time. In the wake of the cancellation news over the summer, Stephen Colbert joked about being "available in June" for offers from Netflix and Amazon, but later said that he wanted to focus on getting to savor every day that was left on CBS and "land the plane."

The entertainment industry was stunned when CBS announced in July that the liberal-leaning "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" would end in 2026.

In December 2025, late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert launched a multi-million dollar "Evergreen Sanctuary" for abandoned and abused dogs.
