David Letterman blasted his former network home CBS and the 'goons' at Skydance as he speculated that Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' was canceled for political reasons: 'Bottom feeders.'

Gov. Josh Shapiro and Stephen Colbert, both critics of President Donald Trump, spoke about a variety of topics on the show, which is slated to end next year.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was recently announced to be ending in May 2026 after a 33-year run. Since then, people have speculated whether the talk show host was fired. A social media user intensified the speculation by claiming that CBS axed Colbert from his show for criticizing Donald Trump.

"He's gonna make stuff, 'cause Stephen is a creator, and a genius, and his voice is pure and wonderful," Odenkirk says.

Paramount announced last week that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” would be ending in May 2026. While the company claimed the move was a purely “financial decision,” speculation has swirled over whether Colbert’s sharp criticism of Trump had anything to do with his ouster as Paramount looked to get its merger approved.

His profanity-laden monologue culminated in a performance with a church choir chanting, “sack the f--k up” or “go f--k yourself.”
