The biggest casualty in American late-night TV in 2025 was CBS\u2019s Colbert, who found out in July that his show would be axed. Although the broadcaster said in a statement that the decision was purely financial, many have speculated that the political bent of Colbert\u2019s comedy \u2013 which is vehemently anti-Trump \u2013 also played a part. The president was, of course, delighted, calling Colbert \u201ca pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success\u201d.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a shocking defenestration. Colbert has long been a key figure in CBS\u2019s line-up, beginning as a correspondent on The Daily Show, then creating The Colbert Report, and finally succeeding David Letterman as host of The Late Show in 2015.<\/p>\n
Colbert has hosted countless celebrities (including, in a recent wince-inducing appearance, Prince Harry) and been a major Hollywood power player. So, what now \u2013 will he join the swelling ranks of podcasters? Or switch to acting? He recently made a guest appearance on crime drama Elsbeth, playing\u2026 a late-night host, who gets murdered. That might not suggest extraordinary range.<\/p>\n
