As ‘The Late Show’ nears its final bow, #StephenColbert opens up about the cancellation that shocked the industry, the win of going out as a “martyr” and his next act in Middle-earth.⁠ ⁠ Last July, @colbert looked straight to camera and announced that his 11th season of 'The Late Show' would be his last. CBS, whose parent company, Paramount, was in the midst of closing a multibillion-dollar merger with David Ellison’s Skydance that required the Trump administration’s approval, insisted it was “purely a financial decision.” But the choice to cancel the No. 1 show in late night raised more than a few eyebrows, particularly as it came just two weeks after Paramount had agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle a controversial lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview.⁠ ⁠ "I know that the show had to end at some time. I did not expect it to end this way."
