Canceled comedian Stephen Colbert is already being erased from CBS more than three months before his show officially ends its run, insiders say.<\/p>\n

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air until May 21, but photos of the 61-year-old host have already been quietly removed from the network\u2019s broadcast center on West 57th Street in New York, multiple sources tell Straight Shuter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like he was never there, like The Late Show never existed at all,\u201d one insider says.<\/p>\n

Sources say the Emmy winner\u2019s staff has also been cut off from company-wide CBS emails, effectively removing them from internal communications. \u201cThat\u2019s the clearest signal it\u2019s truly over,\u201d another source tells Straight Shuter.<\/p>\n

The Late Show team was also excluded from a recent all-company town hall.<\/p>\n

And they shouldn\u2019t expect an official goodbye party. \u201cThere will be no sendoff,\u201d a network insider confirms. CBS is not planning \u2014 and will not pay for \u2014 any farewell fete. \u201cIf the staff wants something, that\u2019s on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

But even an unofficial gathering could get awkward, as major CBS stars, including Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil, Norah O\u2019Donnell and even Anderson Cooper, are unlikely to attend, an insider says.<\/p>\n

The cold shoulder comes as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert limps through what\u2019s shaping up to be its worst January ever among adults 25-54, averaging just 285,000 viewers.<\/p>\n
