Samantha Bee doesn't find it surprising that CBS decided to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert amid the Paramount and Skydance merger.

The network claimed it was “purely a financial decision.” “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘The Late Show’ franchise in May of 2026,” CBS executives’ statement read. “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.”
