"While I have your attention: is anyone hiring because I have 200 very qualified candidates who will be available in June,"
"I also brought my resume but I haven't had the chance to update my headshot."
"purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night"
Stephen Colbert received a rousing standing ovation while presenting at the 2025 Emmys and joked that his Late Show staff would be available for hire in June. He quipped that he had 200 very qualified candidates and that he had brought his resume but not updated his headshot. CBS announced the cancellation of the Late Show in July, calling the move "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night" and saying the decision was unrelated to Paramount's planned merger with Skydance. Some critics speculated that Colbert's outspoken opposition to Donald Trump may have influenced the decision to ease regulatory concerns around the merger.
