Conclusion of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Overview

The CBS program ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ concluded its run following a cancellation decision by the network. The show’s final production period was described by director Yvonne De Mare as a ‘nonstop hamster wheel’ of activity. The series finale, which featured Paul McCartney as the final guest along with several other notable television personalities, took place in May.

Following the conclusion of the series, the program received five Emmy Awards at the 78th Emmy Awards ceremony, including honors for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Directing for a Variety Series. A digital companion, ‘Colbert Before Air’, also earned an Emmy. While CBS cited financial reasons for the cancellation, the decision coincided with controversy regarding a settlement between Paramount and Donald Trump.
