Why Did CBS Cancel Colbert's Show?

A Sudden End to Stephen Colbert's "Late Show"

Rosie O'Donnell, a well-known comedian, recently shared her thoughts on social media about the sudden end of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" on CBS. She questioned how safe other Trump critics are in their careers, especially after Colbert's show was canceled.

"Trump is a madman, and his behavior is out of control." "He has problems with his mind and body."

Colbert's Announcement and CBS's Response

The news about Colbert's show came as a surprise to many. Colbert himself announced it during his show, making it clear that the entire program was being canceled, not just him. He thanked CBS and his audience for their support over the years.

This announcement happened just a few days after Colbert criticized his own company, Paramount, for settling a lawsuit with Trump for $16 million.

"I was offended and didn't know if I could ever trust the company again."

Reactions from Other Late-Night Hosts

Other late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, as well as the Writers Guild of America, were critical of CBS's decision. They wondered if the cancellation was a way to please Trump.

Trump, on the other hand, was happy about the news. He posted on Truth Social that he loved seeing Colbert go and hinted that Kimmel might be next.

CBS's Statement

CBS said the decision was about money, even though Colbert's show was the most-watched late-night program. They claimed they had been thinking about canceling it before Colbert's criticism of Paramount.

Rosie O'Donnell's Long-Standing Criticism of Trump

O'Donnell has been a vocal critic of Trump for a long time. She even moved to Ireland after Trump's second term started. Trump once threatened to take away her U.S. citizenship, to which she responded by calling him:

"King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan" "Linked him to Jeffrey Epstein."
