“Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver noted that the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” is “very sad” while speaking with reporters Saturday night. Oliver added of his friend, “I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show, it’s incredibly sad.”

CBS is canceling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” next May, shuttering a decades-old TV institution and removing from air one of President Donald Trump's most prominent late-night critics.

CBS announced on Thursday that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' would end in 2026, but the timing, coincidental or not, comes as Paramount tries to sell itself to Skydance.
