"I’m just so surprised that this giant, global corporation would not stand up to these bullies," said late-night television hostStephen Colbert last month in response to the FCC threatening The View with a never-enforced "Equal Time" rule while promising his show could be next. CBS announced last summer that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would be canceled on May 21, 2026. Ever since, the comedian has been sparring with the FCC and his network for months as new owner, David Ellison, transforms CBS, in a move many argue is to curry favor with the Trump White House. Colbert has managed to use the show's downfall to create momentum for himself, his staff, as well as continued discussion around the First Amendment.
