He continued, “I can’t believe CBS is turning off the lights at 11:30 after the local news. I’m stunned. He’s one of three late-night shows deemed worthy enough for an Emmy nomination. He produces a brilliant show.”
Cohen noted that he “worked at CBS when Letterman came to CBS” making the eye network “a powerhouse in late-night television, so it’s sad. I spent 10 years at CBS. It’s sad for CBS, really.”
Cohen hosts late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live on Bravo, which was recently renewed through 2027.
In a statement, CBS confirmed that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert “will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,” adding, “We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late-night television.”
