US Edition‘The Gloves Are Off’: Colbert Addresses Cancelation And Tells Trump ‘Go F— Yourself’
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – CBS cited financial losses of $40 million to $50 million annually for canceling The Late Show, though critics link the decision to a recent $16 million lawsuit settlement with Donald Trump.
- On July 17, 2025, CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, citing 'a purely financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,' and will end after May 2026.
- Amid mounting losses of $40–50 million annually, Paramount settled Trump’s lawsuit for $16 million.
- During Monday's monologue, Colbert vowed `the gloves are off` for 10 months at the Ed Sullivan Theater, with John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and Jon Stewart supporting him.
- In a Truth Social post on July 18, Donald Trump celebrated the firing, 'His talent was even less than his ratings,' warning that Jimmy Kimmel would be next.
- Observers suggest this decision resembles a `Trump shakedown`, indicating broader retaliation, as CBS staffers believe it stems from political pressure following the settlement with Trump.
