All five of the late-night talk shows halted production after the WGA went on strike on May 2.

The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) also went on strike two months later.

I think it’s a very reasonable demand that is being set up by the guild, and I support those demands.

Stephen Colbert FIRED! Trump MOCKS Late-Night Host as CBS Cancels Anti-Trump 'Late Night Show'

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show is being canceled by CBS in May 2026, just days after he called Paramount’s $16M Trump settlement “a big fat bribe” to smooth DOJ approval for an $8B Skydance merger. Trump celebrated the cancellation on Truth Social, mocking Colbert’s “talent” despite the show leading late-night ratings with 2.4M viewers. CBS claims the move is financial, but critics argue it’s political pressure to appease Trump allies like Skydance buyer David Ellison. Analysts warn this signals growing politicization of corporate media decisions. #StephenColbert #TheLateShow #Colbert #IStandWithColbert #SaveTheLateShow #CancelColbert #Trump #CBS #Paramount #Censorship #FreedomOfSpeech #PressFreedom #ColbertFired #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount #SkydanceMerger #CorporatePolitics #LateNight ~HT.318~GR.125~
