“It’s terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy,” says Last Week Tonight host.
John Oliver is the latest to weigh in on the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Both Oliver and Colbert served as correspondents on The Daily Show, although not at the same time.
“Obviously, I love Stephen, I love his staff, I love that show – it’s incredibly sad,” the Last Week Tonight host said. “I’m partly excited to see what they’re gonna do for the next 10 months. It’s terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.
“Late-night shows mean a lot to me, not just because I work in them, because even growing up in England, I would watch Letterman’s show, which of course was Stephen’s show, and think about what a glamorous world that was,” he said. “So to have got to have been on Letterman’s show and Stephen’s show was always one of the most fun things. So it’s very, very, very sad news. I look forward to seeing what [Colbert is] gonna do next because that man will not stop.”
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will wrap in 2026.
