John Oliver has spoken out following the surprise cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Calling the decision “incredibly sad” and “terrible,” he expressed deep admiration for Colbert and his team.

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.

CBS announced on Thursday that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' would end in 2026, but the timing, coincidental or not, comes as Paramount tries to sell itself to Skydance.
