Fox News Digital spoke with CBS insiders who question the timing of the network's shocking decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" next year.

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.

“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.”
