John Oliver has weighed in on CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," calling it "terrible news for the world of comedy."

John Oliver, Stephen Colbert's fellow "Daily Show" alum, is speaking out about CBS' shock cancellation of "The Late Show."

CBS will end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and retire "The Late Show" franchise in May 2026, the company announced Thursday.

Fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel blasted CBS over its decision to cancel “The Late Show,” and Jimmy Fallon said that he was “shocked” by the move. “Love you Stephen,” Kimmel, 57, wrote on his Instagram Story on Thursday night. “F–k you and all your Sheldons CBS.”

The problem began at the tail end of the station's prime time programming at 9:13 p.m., but it didn't interfere with the 10 p.m. newscast because that's locally generated, Chastain said.

Colbert followed “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s attack of the deal one week earlier. Stewart works for Comedy Central, also owned by Paramount, making the two comics the most visible internal critics of the $16 million settlement that was announced on July 1.

Stephen Colbert went off on his employer, Paramount, on Monday after the company decided to settle with President Trump in his lawsuit against the network.
