"Thank you for this honor. I want to thank CBS for giving us the privilege to be part of the late night tradition, which I hope continues long after we're no longer doing this show. I gotta thank these people, those people up there, the 200 incredible professionals, you [all] are the pros from Dover and I'm so proud to be one of you."
"We gotta thank the people who supported us the last 20 years, Carrie Byalick, James 'Babydoll' Dixon. Personally, I want to thank my beautiful wife Evie [Evelyn McGee-Colbert], who is the real brains of the outfit, [and] my three children, Madeline, Peter, John. I want to dedicate this to my mom and dad, her mom and dad, and a young woman who should be here tonight, Amy Cole."
Stephen Colbert announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026 and used his Emmy acceptance speech as a reflective victory lap. The Late Show won Outstanding Talk Series at the 77th Emmy Awards, besting Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show. Colbert thanked CBS, his production team of roughly 200 professionals, long-time contributors, his wife Evelyn McGee-Colbert, and their three children. He dedicated the award to his parents, in-laws, and Amy Cole, his longtime assistant who died in March at 53. He framed the show's mission as evolving through turbulent political events including two Trump presidencies and January 6.
