Stephen Colbert BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This past week brought a rush of headlines and speculation about the fate and future of Stephen Colbert. In the days since CBS and Paramount confirmed that “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” will be ending after the 2025-2026 broadcast season, the entertainment press and social media haven’t let the story rest. Jimmy Kimmel, never shy with his opinions, told Variety that Paramount’s claims the Colbert show was losing forty million dollars a year are “beyond nonsensical” and chalked up the move to political pressures in a year of heightened media consolidation and merger talk. The official CBS line remains that the cancellation was purely for financial reasons, but whispers in the industry suggest the decision was closely linked to the company’s need to secure FCC approval for the big Skydance merger as the rumors of a “Trump Tax” on media echo through trade papers, with Paramount reportedly vowing less ideological content going forward.

Naturally, most of this played out as Colbert’s show remains on its traditional late summer hiatus, so viewers tuning in this week are seeing reruns—John Oliver, Bad Bunny, and Leanne Morgan were among the big names revisited in recent slots. According to the official press calendar, next week will feature encore appearances by Rachel Maddow, Billy Crystal, William Shatner with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and a special musical lineup, as the late show delivers fan-favorite moments while the set sits dark. On social media, Colbert’s name trended intermittently as supporters and fellow comics weighed in. Conan O’Brien, speaking at the TV Academy Hall of Fame ceremony and quoted by both The Hollywood Reporter and Men’s Journal, assured fans that “people like Stephen Colbert are too talented and too essential to go away,” and signaled confidence that Colbert will soon turn to a new chapter—no confirmed details yet, but the energy suggests anticipation for a next act rather than an exit.

No official business ventures, new shows, or political appearances by Colbert have been announced in these past days, and recent viral tweets about a supposed co-hosting project with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett were debunked by fact-checkers as pure internet fiction. For now, as the late-night era Colbert helped shape winds down, the long-term significance of his star turn and his future moves dominate both industry speculation and fan hopes for what comes after the desk.
