Stephen Colbert announced in July that CBS will be canceling “The Late Show” in May 2026, more than 10 years after he took over as host.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is not airing any new episodes this week, so when can we expect the late-night show to return?

During a July 17 taping, Colbert announced the cancellation of The Late Show. Colbert, who took over from David Letterman as host in September 2015, said he was "grateful" for being given a chair and a "beautiful theater to call home," as well as his viewers from "all around the world."
