“Is anyone hiring?” Colbert asked as he took the stage to present the first award of the night, for best actor in a comedy (which went to Seth Rogen for The Studio). “Because I have about 200 very qualified people with me tonight.”
Colbert was referring to the pending end of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, which CBS announced it would drop after the 2025-26 season. The network made the announcement in July, a few weeks before its parent company Paramount’s merger with Skydance closed. The network said it was making a “purely financial decision” in ending the Late Show franchise, which began with David Letterman in 1993 and which Colbert has hosted since 2015. Reports suggested The Late Show is a money-loser for CBS to the tune of $40 million per year; others in the industry have disputed that.
