Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late-night show would be ending in May 2026.
Kicking off Monday’s show with a joke about Trump wanting to change the name of the Washington Commanders NFL team (the “Washington Epsteins,” Colbert suggested), he walked into the Ed Sullivan Theater to loud cheers and said “This is going to be fun.” It certainly was.
Comedian Jon Stewart ripped CBS over its decision to cancel Stephen Colbert ’s late-night show in a profanity-laced rant on Monday night. Paramount, CBS’s parent company, announced last week that “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will be ending in May 2026.
