CBS has decided to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," leaving staffers questioning the motives and timing behind the decision. The network cited financial reasons for the cancellation, but some insiders believe there may be more to the story, especially considering Colbert's recent comments about a settlement involving President Donald Trump. Reports indicate that the show was losing over $40 million a year for CBS and had a budget of over $100 million per season, making the cancellation a business decision. While some speculate political motivations, sources at CBS and Skydance Media, the company set to buy Paramount Global, claim the cancellation was based on economics rather than politics.
