เจาะลึก The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: เนื้อเรื่อง การสร้าง และเสียงวิจารณ์

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is an American late-night news talk show hosted by Stephen Colbert, which aired from September 8, 2015, to May 21, 2026. The show was the second and final iteration of CBS's Late Show franchise. It was taped at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City in the same studio as its predecessor Late Show with David Letterman. It aired new episodes live to tape in most American markets Mondays to Thursdays at 11:35 p.m. ET/PT/10:35 p.m. CT, as with its competitors Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Colbert was announced as the new host in April 2014, following the exit of host David Letterman, who had announced intentions to retire earlier in the month. Colbert previously hosted Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, a news satire program where Colbert portrayed a character named Stephen Colbert as a parody of conservative pundits. As such, the series carried a stronger focus on discussing and satirizing current events, especially within American politics. Some of Colbert's staff moved to The Late Show, along with Jon Stewart – who previously hosted The Colbert Report's parent series The Daily Show – serving as an executive producer.

The Late Show became the highest-rated American late-night talk show, and held that ranking for nine consecutive seasons, marking the longest such streak in franchise history. It had exceeded The Tonight Show in key demographic viewership since 2019.

CBS announced in July 2025 that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would end in May 2026, and that the Late Show franchise would be retired permanently after a 33-year run – 22 seasons under Letterman and 11 seasons under Colbert. CBS described the move as a "purely a financial decision" and claimed The Late Show was losing $40 million per year. The announcement attracted controversy due to the show's relative popularity among late-night television viewers, as well as the close proximity of the timing to the merger of Skydance and Paramount. The show was known for its frequent criticism of the Trump administration.

The series finale aired on May 21, 2026, as an extended episode. CBS sold the time slot to Byron Allen's Allen Media Group via a time buy agreement.

Background

Prior to Colbert's assumption of hosting duties, David Letterman had been host of Late Show for 22 years, dating to his arrival at CBS in 1993. CBS had not had a regular late-night talk show for most of its existence before that point, with only one attempt (the short-lived The Pat Sajak Show in 1989–1990) between 1972 and Letterman's arrival. Letterman, who joined CBS from NBC after ending his eleven-year run as host of Late Night and losing out on being Johnny Carson's successor on The Tonight Show to Jay Leno, was initially competitive with his show's bitter rival, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno; Letterman's Late Show slowly experienced a decline in ratings over the course of the 1990s and 2000s, dating back to an affiliation agreement between New World Communications and Fox that resulted in all nine CBS-affiliated stations it owned or recently acquired switching to Fox between September and December 1994, relegating the network to lower-rated former Fox affiliates and independent stations in many major cities.

According to TV by the Numbers, in February 2013, the live-plus-seven-day ratings for Letterman's Late Show averaged about 3.1 million per show for the 2012–2013 season to date. A year later, average viewership was down to 2.8 million. Late Show also had the oldest audience among the various late-night talk shows, which may have led to CBS's decision to pick a younger replacement for Letterman to compete with The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!. In addition, Colbert's previous program did well among college students and young men 18–34, which are prime target audiences for late-night comedy programming.

On April 3, 2014, Letterman announced his retirement, with his final episode as host of Late Show scheduled for May 20, 2015. On April 10, 2014, CBS announced Stephen Colbert as Letterman's successor, signing him to a five-year agreement. In contrast with Colbert's previous program The Colbert Report, in which he played a fictionalized version of himself, Colbert hosts the show as himself. Colbert's version retains the Late Show name under license from Letterman's Worldwide Pants, which holds the registered trademark. On April 23, 2014, the character version of Stephen Colbert appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to announce that he had clearly "won television" and would be closing down The Colbert Report because he had met his goal. This came after the announcement the character would not be used after the end of The Colbert Report. The final episode of Report aired on December 18, 2014.

There were efforts to lure a new version of The Late Show from its long-time home at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, with California lawmakers offering tax incentives to bring production to Los Angeles. On July 23, 2014, CBS CEO Les Moonves announced that the program would remain in New York City; CBS would be eligible for $11 million in tax credits over five years to produce the program there, and would also receive grants to fund renovations to the theater. Jon Batiste was announced as the bandleader on June 4, 2015, with his Stay Human band succeeding the CBS Orchestra (which returned to its previous identity as the World's Most Dangerous Band shortly thereafter) as the house band.

Promotion

In anticipation of the program's premiere, a new online presence was launched for The Late Show in June 2015, including new social media accounts, a podcast, mobile app, and a monologue-styled video focusing on the beard Colbert had grown since leaving The Colbert Report. Throughout the remainder of the summer, videos would continue to be released through the show's official YouTube channel and mobile app. On July 1, 2015, Colbert hosted a special edition of a public access program in Monroe, Michigan, interviewing Eminem.

Production

Colbert was given near-full control of the show, with little interference from CBS management in regard to format. Colbert brought most of his staff from The Colbert Report with him to The Late Show, as well as outsiders such as Brian Stack, who is best known for his work on Conan O'Brien's programs, and Jon Stewart, former host of Colbert's previous sister program The Daily Show, who was credited as executive producer. Colbert no longer used the character he had portrayed on The Colbert Report, jokingly remarking to Jeb Bush that "I used to play a narcissistic conservative pundit – now I'm just a narcissist."

The Ed Sullivan Theater underwent a full restoration to its original 1927 appearance, a process that began following Letterman's final episode, including the uncovering of the theater's ceiling, stained-glass windows and a restoration of a chandelier, due to advances in technology that allow less sound and video equipment to cover up the auditorium's architectural details.

On April 13, 2016, former CBS This Morning and Morning Joe executive producer Chris Licht was named showrunner for The Late Show; CBS had shown concerns that, despite improved ratings in comparison to Letterman's tenure, Colbert had a weak online presence in comparison to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Colbert's lead-out The Late Late Show with James Corden (whose "Carpool Karaoke" segments have been popular as viral videos). The Hollywood Reporter believed that Licht's experience in news programming would be leveraged to complement Colbert's strengths in topical and news-oriented material.

On October 17, 2019, Colbert and CBS announced that they had agreed to renew his contract, which had been set to expire in August 2020, until August 2023. On March 12, 2020, the show suspended production due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Beginning March 30, 2020, the show was produced from Colbert's home, billed as A Late Show with Stephen Colbert (or A Late Show with Stephen at Home). From August 10, Colbert presented the program from a smaller set within the building's office tower, built as a replica of his own personal office seen on A Late Show with Stephen Colbert, without a studio audience. On August 4, 2020, the show's music producer Giovanni Cianci was fired following sexual misconduct allegations.

On May 24, 2021, Colbert announced that the show would resume production inside the theater with an audience fully vaccinated against COVID-19 starting on June 14, 2021. It was also announced that the Ed Sullivan Theater would be back at full capacity, following the lifting of COVID-19 guidelines that restricted the number of people in a crowded, indoor setting. The announcement was significant in that the Ed Sullivan Theater would become the first theater on Broadway to reopen to full capacity. It also made The Late Show the first late-night talk show to announce a return to a full audience, though The Tonight Show ultimately returned to full-capacity audiences one week ahead of The Late Show on June 7, 2021. With the show's return to the theater, the original name, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was also put back in use.

The program's intro originally used tilt–shift photography featuring scenes of New York City, making the city appear like a miniature model. In September 2021 The Late Show introduced a new intro sequence, featuring the use of a drone camera flying around the theater and its backstage areas. On February 26, 2022, Chris Licht, the showrunner, left the show to become the new chairman and CEO of CNN. On the August 11, 2022, episode, Colbert announced that bandleader Jon Batiste had decided he would not be returning to the show, in order to "pursue personal and professional interests". Batiste was replaced by Louis Cato. On May 2, 2023, The Late Show, and several other late night talk shows, halted its production due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Colbert showed his support to the writers, saying: "I'm a member of the guild. I support collective bargaining. This nation owes so much to unions" and hoped both parts would reach an agreement. It was reported that Colbert continued to pay his staff salary during the strike. In November/December 2023, The Late Show production paused for a few weeks after Colbert had emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix. Full episodes of the show going back about a month are available on Paramount+. Official clips from the show going back to 2015 are available on the show's YouTube channel.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was directed by Jim Hoskinson for ten years, from the first episode in September 2015. He stepped down in September 2025, replaced in the last eight months by Yvonne De Mare, who had served as associate director for the show's run. Both had formerly worked at The Colbert Report. On February 16, 2026, Louis Cato and the Late Show Band was renamed Louis Cato and the Great Big Joy Machine in preparation for the release of a charity album in April 2026.

Live broadcasts for special events

While most episodes were pre-taped before broadcast, the series occasionally broadcast live on the evenings of pre-scheduled newsworthy domestic events. These have included live shows during the evenings of Election Days, presidential nominating conventions, United States presidential general election debates, State of the Union speeches and similar presidential speeches to joint sessions of Congress, and the July 2022 hearings of the January 6 Committee. During the 2024 Democratic National Convention, the show filmed a week of live episodes from the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, the host city of the convention.

An election night special for the 2016 United States presidential election was aired on CBS's sibling channel Showtime. In 2020 and 2024, presidential election night specials were broadcast on CBS. Colbert also aired live specials on CBS on the election nights of the midterm elections of 2018 and 2022. On the evening of January 6, 2021 (originally slated for a pre-taped episode), the program broadcast a previously unplanned live episode in order to air remarks by Colbert in reaction to the attack on the United States Capitol earlier that day.

In addition to political events, live episodes were also broadcast as the lead-out programming for NFL postseason games, including the 2024 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowls in 2016 and 2024 (being the direct lead-out to Super Bowl 50 in 2016).

Format

Colbert originally started the show with a cold open and brief monologue before the opening sequence. Starting with the April 18, 2016, broadcast, the first under new showrunner Chris Licht, the format was modified to replace the cold open monologue with short sketches starring Colbert, his staff, and often featuring that night's guests, followed by the opening sequence and Colbert entering the stage. For the first few weeks of the show, Colbert performed his own voiceovers for the intro. Since then he has used Jen Spyra, former writer for the show, as his off-screen announcer; the first female late night announcer.

The open was originally followed by an extended news satire style desk sequence with a run-through of recent headlines, in a manner reminiscent of television newscasts and that of The Colbert Report. This has been revised to a traditional stand-up monologue presentation, but still composed of the same extended run-through of news headlines, with a particular focus on politics. Also, the show follows the same basic format as other late-night talk shows including the use of sketch comedy, guest interviews and musical performances. Colbert's guest list includes more political and government figures than his contemporaries; his first two weeks' guests included visits from Jeb Bush, Joe Biden, Ban Ki-moon, Stephen Breyer, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, and Ted Cruz.

Colbert did not have any of his staff act as a sidekick or straight man on the program. While Colbert danced and physically interacted with his band leader while the band played, they only occasionally engaged in on-air banter, unlike David Letterman's relationship with Paul Shaffer or the relationship of other late-night hosts with their announcers or bandleaders. Occasionally, Colbert brought out producers of his show, or enlisted the help of audience members, who assumed a sidekick-like role for single segments, engaging in light dialogue about a topic. The show has occasionally been broadcast live to provide coverage of the immediate aftermath of major political events, such as candidate debates and party conventions during election years, the State of the Union address, in the 2018 mid-term elections and the 2020 United States presidential election.

Notable episodes

In the show's series premiere, Colbert welcomed actor George Clooney and politician Jeb Bush, thanked former host David Letterman, and joined singer Mavis Staples and numerous other musicians for a rendition of Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People". The episode nearly missed its broadcast due to technical difficulties. An early interview with Vice President Joe Biden received particular acclaim. Following the terrorist attacks in Paris that November, Colbert devoted his program to that city. A special football-themed episode aired as the lead-out program for Super Bowl 50 in 2016, featuring guests President Barack Obama (in a taped segment), Tina Fey, Margot Robbie, Will Ferrell, and Megyn Kelly.

In February 2016, model Sarah McDaniel appeared for an interview on the show after being featured on the first ever non-nude cover of Playboy magazine. A minor wardrobe failure caused McDaniel to have to visibly cover her cleavage. Colbert attempted to joke about the situation to ease the awkwardness, and at one point playfully put a paper towel on her chest, a move McDaniel later criticized in an interview with HasanAbi. She described the entire incident as one of the worst moments of her life. A clip of the interview posted on YouTube has more than 48 million views and is by far the most watched video ever posted to The Late Show's YouTube channel, as of 2024.

On June 22, 2016, CBS announced that The Late Show would broadcast two weeks of live episodes during the 2016 Republican and Democratic conventions. The first of these episodes, on July 18, 2016, opened with a musical number by Colbert that compared the Republican convention to being "Christmas in July", and featured sketches where Jon Stewart (revealed to have been living off-grid in a cabin) is told that Donald Trump had clinched the Republican nomination for the presidential election, Colbert's persona from The Colbert Report is revived and delivers an edition of The Word on "Trumpiness", and a filmed sketch touring the convention's venue as his The Hunger Games-inspired character Julius Flickerman. Stewart appeared once more the following Thursday, delivering a segment criticizing the Fox News Channel in the wake of the firing of its CEO Roger Ailes. Colbert's performances during these episodes were critically praised for their return to an emphasis on news-oriented comedy similar to The Colbert Report and The Daily Show.

On November 8, 2016, Colbert presented a live, election night special for CBS's sister premium channel Showtime, Stephen Colbert's Live Election Night: Democracy's Series Finale: Who's Going to Clean Up This Shit? The special featured appearances by Laura Benanti (reprising her impersonation of Melania Trump), Jeff Goldblum, Mark Halperin, Elle King, John Heilemann, and Nick Offerman. Due to it being broadcast on a premium channel, the show was billed as being uncensored (which Colbert demonstrated during his monologue by swearing and announcing Marco Rubio's Senate re-election result using a nearly nude model). Critics felt that the special had anticipated a Hillary Clinton victory, noting the increasingly "surreal" and "uncomfortable" atmosphere that ensued when Trump emerged as the front-runner. When Halperin informed Colbert that Trump was nearing the required 270 electoral votes, he remarked that he "[couldn't] put a happy face on it, and that's my job." Katy Perry was expected to make a pre-recorded appearance, but her segment was dropped due to the impending victory. During his interview, Jeff Goldblum also acknowledged the situation and sang a verse from "It Goes Like It Goes". In his closing monologue, Colbert noted that before she died, his mother Lorna (who was born only days after the first presidential election where women had the right to vote nationally) remarked that – despite having historically been a Republican – she had wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton. He argued that people may have "overdosed" on the "poison" of politics, but acknowledged that "you can't laugh and be afraid at the same time, and the devil cannot stand mockery." Another abandoned gag from the special was, had Clinton won, Colbert would have brought out nude models with the letters "W-E-'-R-E W-I-T-H H-E-R" printed on their butt cheeks. When it became clear that Trump was going to win, they initially thought of changing the lettering to "W-E-'-R-E S-C-R-E-W-E-D", before it was decided not to use the gag.

On May 1, 2017, Colbert's monologue was devoted to President Trump following his conduct in an interview with CBS's John Dickerson on Face the Nation. Describing Dickerson as a fellow "member of the CBS family", Colbert "read a laundry list of insults on-air to rapturous cheers from the crowd ... reeling off a series of scripted jokes and ending on, 'In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's cock holster.'" Colbert's language was considered to be crude and homophobic by some, and led to a short-lived #FireColbert hashtag on Twitter. Colbert later addressed the controversy on-air, admitting he had used "a few words that were cruder than they needed to be" but that he "would do [the monologue] again". On May 5, the Federal Communications Commission announced that it would go through a comprehensive investigation of Colbert's remarks, and concluded no action was to be taken against Colbert or The Late Show, reasoning in a public statement released on May 23 that there was "nothing actionable under the FCC's rules" as the offending statement had been properly censored.

During the COVID-19 pandemic when the show was produced from Colbert's home (March 2020 until June 2021), his wife Evelyn "Evie" McGee-Colbert was a frequent guest appearance on the show. Crucial to maintaining Colbert's energy as a host, Evie stood in for the regular studio audience's reactions and laughter. On November 3, 2020, Colbert produced his second Showtime election special, Stephen Colbert's Election Night 2020: Democracy's Last Stand: Building Back America Great Again Better 2020. Ahead of the special, showrunner Chris Licht told The Hollywood Reporter's TV's Top 5 podcast that the show would be prepared for every eventuality. The special featured many of the same guests who had attended the 2016 election night special, notably Charlemagne tha God; unlike the 2016 show, the prolonged nature of the election projections in 2020 meant that Colbert could not reasonably prognosticate on a winner during the live show – Americans would not know the winner until later in the week. The special won the 2021 Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

On September 30, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel appeared as a guest on the show in his first interview since his show's suspension. The candid interview included Kimmel discussing his reaction to the suspension as well as to Colbert's cancellation. On the same night, Colbert was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! which was broadcast from Brooklyn that week. Colbert filmed his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's show first and then the two traveled to the Ed Sullivan Theater to film Kimmel's interview.

In light of warnings from Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr that the fairness doctrine might apply to the talk show, CBS suppressed Stephen Colbert's interview with candidate James Talarico. It was then presented on YouTube, garnering far more views than it might have gotten if it had been aired on CBS. This was said to be "the Streisand effect."

The Late Show's final Monday episode (May 18, 2026) was titled "The Worst of The Late Show." Before a studio audience made up solely of show staff, Stephen posited that, since the show had more than enough content for a "best of" episode that viewers could already watch on YouTube, the episode would instead feature sketches, field pieces, and other content that never previously made it to air due to weak quality and/or time contraints. The "Worst of" episode's centerpieces included a cold-open sketch featuring Michael Keaton in a $15,000 pigeon costume; a 2024 visit by Stephen to his old apartment in Chicago; a return visit by "Shriekin' Joe" (Brian Stack), who did appear on the show but at the expense of viewer interest (weak ratings charts were shown for veracity); and a performance of "It's Raining Fish," a parody song penned by writer Michael Cruz Kayne and set to the tune of "It's Raining Men", with Colbert, Cruz Kayne, and Paul Shaffer (David Letterman's Late Show bandleader, who penned the original tune for The Weather Girls) providing vocals. At Colbert's request, the entire unedited "Worst of" show was posted on YouTube (in addition to the individual segments), and included performances by Louis Cato and the Great Big Joy Machine in lieu of commercial breaks.

Also during the final week, on May 20, 2026, Colbert answered his own personal questions from his popular segment, "The Colbert Questionert". The questions were asked by his friends, Billy Crystal, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Josh Brolin, Martha Stewart, Mark Hamill, Jim Gaffigan, Jeff Daniels, Tiffany Haddish, Amy Sedaris, Ben Stiller, Aubrey Plaza, James Taylor, Robert De Niro, John Dickerson (who presided over the segment), and Colbert's wife Evelyn McGee Colbert.
