The FCC chairman called out at the "partisan left's" reaction to Stephen Colbert's cancellation by CBS on Monday, saying they were acting like they were losing a "loyal" spokesperson.
CBS announced Thursday “The Late Show” will end in May at the end of its broadcast season. Though CBS and parent company Paramount said the choice to cancel the series was “purely a financial decision,” and the show was reportedly losing the network $40 million a year, many liberal commentators claim it was for political reasons.
The CBS television network will end its top-rated late-night talk show hosted by Stephen Colbert in 2026, a move announced just days after the comedian criticized parent company Paramount over a $16 million settlement with Donald Trump.
Jon Stewart lambasted CBS' decision to cancel "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert from his perch at Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."
Monday night's (July 21) show also featured kiss cam-style pop-ins from supportive fellow talkers Anderson Cooper, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart and Adam Sandler.
