Save The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from Cancellation
Save The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from Cancellation
The Issue
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert holds a special place in our hearts. In today's convoluted political and social landscape, the entertainment, candidness, levity, and humor that The Late Show provides is desperately needed. Stephen Colbert's presence on television is not just about comedy; it’s a reassuring voice affirming that, amidst the chaos, we are not alone. His ability to address complex and sensitive issues with wit and empathy is unparalleled, making him a beacon of hope for those who worry about the future of our country.
For many of us, The Late Show serves as an oasis of sanity and joy in an otherwise unpredictable world. It's not just a talk show; it's a nightly ritual that surely brings families and communities together. Colbert's engagement with current events, mixed with a refreshing blend of humor and sincerity, is crucial for fostering understanding in our country.
On July 17th, 2025, we learned CBS plans to cancel altogether this beloved institution in May 2026. The impact of such a decision would not only disrupt our nightly routines, but it would also silence an important voice that champions reason, humor, and common human decency. For years, Stephen Colbert has entertained and enlightened millions, bridging divides and clarifying complex issues through his unique perspective; he can’t and shouldn’t be disappeared from CBS.
We appeal to CBS's leadership—Chief Executive George Cheeks, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach, and CBS Studios executive David Stapf, as well as Skydance Media owner David Ellison—to consider the profound loss this cancellation would mean to the loyal viewers and the broader television landscape.
Do not let The Late Show with Stephen Colbert disappear from our screens. Preserve this cherished platform that continuously uplifts and informs its audience, providing much-needed humor and perspective. Your signature can help ensure The Late Show remains a vital part of late-night television and our lives. Please sign this petition to show your support for Stephen Colbert and his team.
