Stephen Colbert has seemingly pitched himself to Netflix and Amazon following the cancellation of The Late Show. The late-night veteran is not shying away from the fact that he won’t have a job when his show ends in May 2026, and used the final Late Show episode before its summer hiatus to court potential new employers.

CBS executive George Cheeks said Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" cancellation was due to economic challenges and declining late-night advertising revenue.
