The Late Show was the highest-rated late-night talk show for nine consecutive seasons as of 2025, with a steadily-growing audience, in fact, it was CBS's only show to attract more viewers than the previous quarter. And it was nominated for another Emmy last week! claiming Colbert was canceled for "financial" reasons is like dragging your kids' favorite puppy out back to the gravel pit and saying it's for "good parenting" reasons.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qvbtb65gegjs3mummldogogp/bafkreif6yjhjo4qhfexpfkzwfu542zlx42vnevzbir2cpgaidwow3mprai)
