WASHINGTON — CBS will air the last episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Thursday, May 21, 2026, Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Tuesday.
The network had previously said the long-running late-night franchise would end in May 2026, after news broke last year that CBS planned to shut down the show entirely. The May 21 date now formally marks the end of the series, as well as the end of late-night programming on CBS.
Colbert first revealed the cancellation during a taping in July, telling his studio audience that the 2025-2026 season would be his last.
“Next year will be our last season. Network will be ending The Late Show in May,” Colbert said at the time, drawing boos from the crowd.
“I share your feelings,” Colbert said while laughing. “It’s not just the end of ‘The Late Show,’ but its the end of a late show on CBS. I’m not being replaced, this is all just going away.”
Colbert also revealed the show’s end date during a Monday taping of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” which is set to air Tuesday on NBC, according to LateNighter.
CBS executives have emphasized that the decision was financial and not tied to the show’s content or performance.
“’The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. 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,” said George Cheeks, Co-CEO Paramount Global and President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS, Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment and David Stapf, President, CBS Studios in a statement to Deadline.
“The Late Show” franchise has aired on CBS since 1993, beginning with David Letterman and later transitioning to Colbert in 2015. When the show ends next spring, CBS will no longer have a late-night talk show for the first time in more than three decades.
