As “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” nears its end, the host reflected recently on his time with the program.“The shows are fun to do, but what I really love is the people,” Colbert said. “My shoemaker, Tom Purcell, I’ve known since 1988. We’ve all been together forever. So listen, you can do comedy in a lot of different places. There’s no place like the Ed Sullivan Theater.”“But it’s really the people, that’s really what I care about, and that’s really what I’m gonna miss more than anything,” Colbert said. “And we’ll do something else together, but it feels real now. I’m not thrilled with it.”of Colbert and Meyers’s conversation, fans of Colbert’s show expressed their feelings about the situation, many complimenting Colbert’s ability to blend comedy and journalism.Another wrote, “In my opinion, Colbert has always been a satirical journalist. Yes, it’s comedy, but it’s still journalism. Comedy has ethics, and so does journalism, and Stephen has plenty of both. 11/10, he’s the best.” “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘The Late Show’ franchise” in May of 2026, CBS executives said in a statement. “We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television. This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
