Stephen Colbert to End\u00a0The Late Show<\/em>\u00a0in May 2026 After a Decade of Success<\/strong>. CBS has officially announced that\u00a0The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/em>\u00a0will conclude in\u00a0May 2026<\/strong>, ending both Colbert\u2019s 10-year run as host and the iconic\u00a0Late Show<\/em>\u00a0franchise on the network. Stephen Colbert shared the news with his audience during a taping on July 17, emphasizing, \u201cIt\u2019s not just the end of our show\u2014it\u2019s the end of\u00a0The Late Show<\/em>\u00a0on CBS.\u201d<\/p>\n The network confirmed there will be no new host following Colbert\u2019s departure. Despite consistently leading late-night ratings for nine straight seasons, CBS cited\u00a0financial challenges<\/strong>\u00a0as the main reason for ending the show, clarifying that the decision was unrelated to the program\u2019s success or popularity.<\/p>\n Colbert expressed heartfelt thanks to his dedicated 200-person staff and called CBS \u201cgreat partners\u201d throughout his tenure. Since premiering in 2015, Colbert\u2019s version of\u00a0The Late Show<\/em>\u00a0has been praised for blending sharp political satire, insightful interviews, and entertainment, often influencing national discourse.<\/p>\n Fans and celebrities alike expressed shock and disappointment at the news, highlighting the show\u2019s ongoing relevance and impact. Although Colbert will step down as host in 2026, he will remain involved with CBS, working on other projects including serving as executive producer for\u00a0After Midnight<\/em>, a new late-night game show hosted by comedian Taylor Tomlinson.<\/p>\n As the final season approaches, many reflect on Colbert\u2019s unique contribution to late-night television\u2014mixing humor, politics, and heart during a turbulent decade.<\/p>\n A motorcycle-mad boy\u2019s casket was escorted to his funeral by more than 1,000 bikers on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n More than 1,000 motorcyclists from across the country turned up to pay tribute to Jozef Stansiak, 12, in Carnon Downs, near Truro, Cornwall, on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n The schoolboy, who loved the sound of motorbikes, was accompanied by the massive cortege on his final journey, following an appeal from his mum Heidi Stansiak.<\/p>\n The bikers, including Jozef’s dad Dominik, revved their engines in respect as his small white coffin – carried in a specially adapted motorbike and sidecar – passed by.<\/p>\n Jozef, who suffered from life-limiting disabilities, died after a spell in hospital on 14 December.<\/p>\n Mum Heidi asked Penryn and Falmouth funeral directors to put out an appeal for bikers on social media to escort him to the church.<\/p>\n The schoolboy’s funeral procession left his home at 9:30am and was greeted by hundreds of bikers lining the route.<\/p>\n Once the hearse reached the front, two funeral directors – dressed as Batman and Robin – led the procession onto the roundabout and dual carriageway before setting off in their vehicle.<\/p>\n The bikers then followed, taking over ten minutes for the last one to finally head off down the A39.<\/p>\n The procession was watched by hundreds of people, who lined the route to say their final goodbyes.<\/p>\n Only the first 50 bikes followed the hearse all the way to the church.<\/p>\n The rest of the convoy pulled into Falmouth Town Football Club, which opened especially for the bikers.<\/p>\n Organiser David Saunby said he was overwhelmed by the response – which almost surpassed the Martin Jennings Run turnout – the largest motorcycle charity ride in Cornwall.<\/p>\n He said: “Tell you what. I’ve been overwhelmed. I’ve been welling up.<\/p>\n “I didn’t expect this. It’s a fantastic turnout.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stephen Colbert to End\u00a0The Late Show\u00a0in May 2026 After a Decade of Success.
