Well, this is a plot twist I did not have on my 2025 Bingo card. CBS just announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air its final episode in May 2026, bringing an end to one seriously historic run.

Since taking over in 2015, Colbert turned the late-night stage into a nightly therapy session for anyone trying to survive the news cycle, with jokes, of course.

While CBS says it’s just “the end of an era,” the internet has other ideas. People are already pointing fingers at Colbert’s relentless Trump takedowns and wondering if that’s the real reason the show’s getting the axe.

1. When Colbert asked Chris Hemsworth about sandwiches and accidentally triggered his Australian passport requirements.


2. When Colbert tried to prove Hey Stephen was about him and Taylor Swift shut it down with his exact age.


3. When Colbert asked Nicki Minaj who likes big butts more—Biden or Trump—and she didn’t hesitate to answer.


4. When Woody Harrelson said nail polish was the worst smell and Colbert reminded us it’s also a fire hazard on planes.

Here's a video clip of Nicki Minaj sharing her logic and reasoning for why it is Joe Biden. It makes sense in a way.

I figured lounge for this one because Colbert is a comedian. I can move it elsewhere if needed.

2. The video in the tweet I posted showed it

he joked about Trump receiving bribes from his parent company, so they canceled the late show. They claimed the show was losing money. But Trump gloating about it online makes it very obvious that it was political.

3. What? God damn it!

The Late Show was the only thing that made politics in this clusterfuck of a country remotely bearable!
