Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is the ratings king of late night with 3.1 million average viewers, despite what Stephen Colbert may be telling his audience.

Current “Late” host Stephen Colbert announced the end of the talk show institution last week, seeming entirely caught by surprise. Letterman helmed the series from 1993 until his retirement in 2015. He responded to the news on Monday, sharing a 20-minute supercut of bits taking potshots at the Tiffany Network.

Late-night rivals and other celebrities rallied to support CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert after the network canceled his show, and comedian Jon Stewart lashed out at Paramount Global for the decision to end the long-running TV program.

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin feared that CBS's decision to cancel Stephen Colbert's show could threaten First Amendment rights if it was politically motivated.

John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and more had cameos during the July 21 episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."

Stephen Colbert labeled himself a “martyr” for getting his flailing late-night CBS show canned — while telling  President Trump on-air to “go f–k yourself.”

Stephen Colbert's Late Show will end in May 2026 as CBS faces financial concerns, while politicians like Bernie Sanders question if the cancellation relates to Trump criticism.
