The award-winning news comedy show, which propelled Jon Stewart to fame and saw him return as a one-day-a-week anchor in 2024, is adding a new rotating host to its lineup.

John Oliver has weighed in on CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," calling it "terrible news for the world of comedy."

CBS announced on Thursday that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' would end in 2026, but the timing, coincidental or not, comes as Paramount tries to sell itself to Skydance.

John Oliver, Stephen Colbert's fellow "Daily Show" alum, is speaking out about CBS' shock cancellation of "The Late Show."

Seth Meyers also reacted among other prominent political figures and Hollywood stars sharing their disgust over the news that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' will end its run in 2026, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus,

The decision "is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the network said.

Oliver has appeared multiple times on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as well as the earlier iteration with David Letterman in 2015.

CBS could not figure out a path to profitability in an entertainment world increasingly dominated by streaming.
