Published on March 10, 2026.
Actor John Lithgow praised Stephen Colbert for his role in The Late Show, which will end its run in May 2026, as a "beloved national treasure" when it leaves TV in May. The series, which debuted with David Letterman in 1993, will end on May 21, with the final episode set to be on the same day as the show's final episode. The announcement was announced during a taping of Late Night With Seth Meyers and follows CBS' announcement in July that the show would not return for another season. However, questions about the timing of the series's end have persistently, with President Donald Trump expressing delight at the news.
