The network said the decision was \u201cpurely a financial decision,\u201d and pointed to broader economic challenges in late-night TV, including declining ad revenue and changing viewer habits. Colbert confirmed he was told the news shortly before the public announcement, and he emphasized that neither it nor his audience would be replaced and that the show would end altogether.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,\u201d CBS executives added in their statement. \u201cIt is not related in any way to the show\u2019s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount. Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult.
