\n\tWhen Stephen Colbert<\/a> landed The Late Show in 2015, he received two notable calls. One from David Letterman, whom he\u2019d be replacing; the other from Letterman\u2019s rival, former Tonight Show host Jay Leno.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJay called me right away, and he was lovely,\u201d says Colbert, as he slips into a Leno impression: \u201cHe goes, \u2018Yeah, you got the pope job. You got the job \u2019til you\u2019re dead.\u2019 Well, you were wrong on that one, Jay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLast July, Colbert looked straight to camera and announced that his 11th season of The Late Show would be his last. CBS<\/a>, whose parent company, Paramount, was in the midst of closing a multibillion-dollar merger with David Ellison\u2019s Skydance that required the Trump administration\u2019s approval, insisted it was \u201cpurely a financial decision.\u201d But the choice to cancel the No. 1 show in late night raised more than a few eyebrows, particularly as it came just two weeks after Paramount had agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle a controversial lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the 10 months since, Colbert has not held back, regularly jabbing his network, its new owners\u2019 cozy relationship with the president and reports that his show was hemorrhaging $40 million a year. Being able to be brutally honest about all of it was part of the arrangement he made with his bosses last summer. He has also continued to mercilessly critique Trump on a nightly basis.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf there is a silver lining to Colbert\u2019s unexpected ouster, it\u2019s that he is now able to be intimately involved in co-writing an installment of the Lord of the Rings film franchise. The project is already six years in the making and a lifelong dream for the self-proclaimed superfan. And though he isn\u2019t ready to sign on to any other projects just yet, he began fielding scripts immediately after he announced his Late Show chapter would conclude. He says he could see \u201ccreating another show,\u201d too, and that his desire to perform will always be there. He jokes: \u201cGot to stay in front of the lens, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn an April afternoon in New York City, Colbert settled in for the first of two wide-ranging conversations about his surprise cancellation, his late night fraternity, his Hollywood future and the real reason his studio audience is told, in no uncertain terms, not to boo Trump. (See more photos of Colbert.)<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tYou sign off May 21. What will the 22nd look like?<\/p>\n

\n\tMy brother is getting married, so my whole family is going to be here on the 21st, and then we\u2019re all going to get on the train and go to D.C. for the wedding. So, immediately after the show\u2019s over, there\u2019s something much more important going on. And there\u2019s something much more important going on the Monday before, too. My son is graduating from college. Then there\u2019s a little blip in the middle where my 20-year late night career comes to an end. The universe has conspired to give me the proper perspective.<\/p>\n

\n\tYour manager, James \u201cBabydoll\u201d Dixon, delivered the news of your cancellation last summer. How did you respond?<\/p>\n

\n\tJames never visits in person, and they\u2019re like, \u201cJames wants to talk to you.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cHe\u2019s here? In person? What\u2019s going on?\u201d And he says, \u201cThis is going to be the last season.\u201d So, I sat up and said, \u201cReally? Huh? Well, this comes as a surprise.\u201d And he goes, \u201cI can imagine so. They said it\u2019s not making any money.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cOK. I mean, it\u2019s their business.\u201d I\u2019m a company man, and I understand that people are here to make the green stuff. We\u2019re not here to do freeform polyrhythmic jazz poetry. We\u2019re here to sell some Breathe Right strips, and I have no qualms about that. And they\u2019ve been great partners. But I went, \u201cI don\u2019t understand. It hasn\u2019t been two years since I signed my last contract, and they were feverish to lock me down. It was the best negotiation we\u2019ve ever had. I only do 160 shows now, all that kind of stuff.\u201d Baby said, \u201cThey say they could show me the numbers if we want,\u201d but I\u2019m not going to ask them to open books. I\u2019m not here to talk anybody into me.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve joked about the reports that suggest the show\u2019s been hemorrhaging money, losing $40 million a year.<\/p>\n

\n\tI think we killed people.<\/p>\n

\n\tSo, that\u2018s where the money went? <\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, just for sport, I\u2019ve been bludgeoning drifters.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn all seriousness, does that figure sound accurate?<\/p>\n

\n\tUm, it came as a surprise. Listen, there\u2019s no denying that the broadcast model is in huge trouble. But our model [late night] within that overall model has been very profitable for, like, 70 years, starting with Steve Allen. But maybe we were the first show to then be a detriment. Maybe we were the first one to flip in the other direction. I do not wish to litigate it. It\u2019s their shop, and they can do what they want.<\/p>\n

\n\tFair enough.<\/p>\n

\n\tI am grateful for the time I\u2019ve spent here. I will just say, as I said to Baby 18 months ago, they could not nail me to this building hard enough. But maybe everything changed after the strike, and if that\u2019s the case, I accept that entirely. There are many people who believe there was another reason. And, as I said in the most measured tones I could muster, there is a reason why people believe that \u2014 the network had clearly already done it once by cutting that $16 million check [to the Trump administration].<\/p>\n

\n\tMe being canceled reinforced a narrative that CBS already had a nimbus of knee-bending that they had created around themselves, because even their lawyers said there was no reason to cut the check, and then they did and gave no rationale for why they changed their minds, and then suddenly they got their broadcast license.<\/p>\n

\n\tCausality is not the same thing as correlation, and I understand that \u2014 and not just because I learned it from the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which reminded us that, yes, you smoked and you got cancer, but, you know, correlation is not causality. So maybe my cancellation was just a naturally occurring tumor that just had to be cut out of the corporation. I mean, that\u2019s entirely possible. I would also say \u2014 and this is what feels most true to me \u2014 that two things can be true. It can be that the broadcast model is collapsing, and, while we\u2019re at it, as long as we\u2019re collapsing here, what if we shove this one out a window first? I mean, this lamb\u2019s got a very cuttable throat.<\/p>\n

\n\tYour boss, Paramount\u2019s George Cheeks<\/a>, delivered the news not to you but to your manager, which didn\u2019t sit well with you. Did you ultimately have a conversation of your own?<\/p>\n

\n\tHe called me eventually.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat did that call look like?<\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t think George would mind if I characterized our conversation. It was later in the summer, and he called to express that he wished [it] had gone down a different way. I said, \u201cMe too.\u201d And then I said, \u201cI\u2019m not over here grinding a knife, but we are going to make jokes about how this went down and about the $40 million and about CBS\u2019 apparent check-cutting spree to the president. That\u2019s the show I want to do for 10 more months because I like working for CBS and I\u2019m not going to change that relationship between now and the end if you allow that to happen.\u201d And he said, \u201cI promise you that\u2019s what will happen.\u201d So that was it. And what\u2019s the use of being mad? All I want to do is go have fun for an audience that appreciates it, and that\u2019s what my goal has been for 10 months. When this is all over, I will probably have a different \u2014 or rather a fuller \u2014 perspective on all of this, but I don\u2019t really have time to be mad about anything right now.<\/p>\n

\n\tHas there been any outreach from David Ellison since the Paramount-Skydance merger closed in August 2025?<\/p>\n

\n\tNo.<\/p>\n

\n\tSo, you have no relationship with the current CEO?<\/p>\n

\n\tNo, I mean, I\u2019ve spoken to the guy, and I hear great things about him. I have many friends who [said to me during the early merger talks,] \u201cYou guys will be lucky if it\u2019s David Ellison because he actually cares about making stuff and he wants the talent to be happy.\u201d And I really looked forward to having that conversation with him and saying, \u201cHey, I hear great things about you. I hope we can have a great time together.\u201d I never got to have that conversation. But I\u2019ve had a conversation with the guy.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat did your conversation with him entail?<\/p>\n

\n\tI have a cloud-based script software company called Scripto, and I\u2019d read an article where [Ellison] said, \u201cI want to create a studio in the cloud.\u201d And I went, \u201cYou know what? No one knows [our software] exists because basically it\u2019s us and our friends who use it. SNL uses it, The Daily Show, [John] Oliver \u2014 there\u2019s maybe a dozen shows. So, I said, \u201cBaby, see if you can get me a call with him and please tell him it\u2019s not [about The Late Show].\u201d And he took the call, which is very nice.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeems cordial.<\/p>\n

\n\tWell, vendettas just sound exhausting, and I have no reason to have one. We\u2019re all big boys. I got to do this for 21 years. What is there to complain about, really? I knew that the show had to end at some time. I did not expect it to end this way. But my staff are the only people I\u2019m worried about.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou also get to go out as a kind of martyr, which you joked about when Kimmel looked to be another casualty last fall.<\/p>\n

\n\tOh yeah. I was like, \u201cHey, there\u2019s only room for one person on this cross, buddy!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve announced your next act: a Lord of the Rings film. Naturally, there\u2019s a contingent of the LOTR fan community that\u2019s miffed: \u201cWhy does Stephen get to write this? Just because he\u2019s famous and a superfan?\u201d Tell them why they should trust you. <\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, there\u2019s no reason to. And there\u2019s no value in me addressing that because all you can do as \u2014 I\u2019ll use a loaded term here \u2014 an artist is follow your heart and the craft that you have learned to try to turn this into something that is not fandom but drama. And luckily, I don\u2019t have to do this alone. I have a great Sherpa in [co-writer and LOTR veteran] Philippa Boyens, who cares about it in the same way I do. And I will just say that every moment has been a joy so far.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve said a few times that you\u2019re about to \u201creenter show business.\u201d Have you been approached with scripts?<\/p>\n

\n\tYes, immediately. And listen, people have been patient because I\u2019ve had to say, like, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, when I no longer have to think about this show all the time, I\u2019ll have a better idea of what I want to do.\u201d But it\u2019s been very nice.<\/p>\n

\n\tI assume that you\u2019ve had conversations with Conan O\u2019Brien and Jon Stewart about what life after late night looks like. OK, why are you laughing?<\/p>\n

\n\tBecause I\u2019ve been having those conversations with them for a long time. Jon Stewart\u2019s like, \u201cYou like ice skating, but you know how great it feels when you take the ice skates off? It kind of feels like that.\u201d And for years, Conan\u2019s been like, \u201cI\u2019m telling you, there\u2019s so much other fun to have.\u201d [To the point where] I\u2019ve been like, \u201cDo you not like my show?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tConan has since built his own empire \u2014 podcasts, a travel show, some acting. And Jon ultimately went back to The Daily Show. Those are two very different paths and probably very different perspectives.<\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, and I don\u2019t think I will do either one of those.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf you could have gone out on your own terms, what would it have looked like?<\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, a lot like this \u2014 I\u2019d just be a little older. And it would have been my choice, and I probably would have known what the final show was going to be a little bit earlier. On The Colbert Report<\/a>, I picked that day \u2014 I didn\u2019t tell anybody, but I knew two years ahead of time. Well, we didn\u2019t pick this day. We know what it\u2019ll be now, but it took a few months. But maybe they gave me a gift because I had a lot of jokes I could make about the end of the show, and if I\u2019d decided to end the show, then I\u2019m the bad guy \u2014 hard to make jokes about that.<\/p>\n

\n\tAny guests who you\u2019re still desperate to have on? <\/p>\n

\n\tThe pope is my white whale. I wrote him. I said, \u201cCome on!\u201d No, I said, \u201cYour Holiness, I hope this letter finds you well or, at the very least, infallible. Would you please come on my show? We don\u2019t have to talk about politics.\u201d Because I didn\u2019t really think he\u2019d want to talk about politics or anything like that. Little did I know that the guy could throw a punch [as he recently proved feuding with Trump over the Iran war]. I said, \u201cLet\u2019s talk about being an American Catholic.\u201d Now, if the pope goes on Kimmel [instead], I\u2019m going to think hard about the Presbyterian church. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat would your Colbert Report character look like if he were revived to satirize 2026?<\/p>\n

\n\tI really don\u2019t know. It was very early on in this show that I was glad I didn\u2019t do him anymore. I mean, he came back a couple times. He showed up to praise the cancellation of Kimmel. How long was the long national nightmare of no Kimmel? Like, three days? And yet the republic rolled on, Jimmy, can you believe it? Wait, what was the question?<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat would he look like today?<\/p>\n

\n\tOh, yeah, I\u2019ve been very glad I hadn\u2019t been doing him because even when I did him a decade ago, he had to somehow leapfrog the mendacity of the public discourse. And I don\u2019t think I can jump that far [today], and I have zero desire. And who would you be? Would you be Alex Jones? Who\u2019s the most extreme?<\/p>\n

\n\tLeno left late night and added more dates on the road. Trevor Noah did the same. Does that space hold any appeal? <\/p>\n

\n\tI didn\u2019t come up as a stand-up. Improv is collaborative in its nature, and all the shows that I\u2019ve done have been collaborative. It doesn\u2019t mean that I wouldn\u2019t do a live show at some point, but it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to go out tomorrow and do a tight 10 at Zanies [Comedy Club]. That hasn\u2019t been my life, and it would be a big thing for me to do now. I could see creating a show. But I don\u2019t know what form it would take. I\u2019m still doing this show.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, The Late Show is being replaced by Byron Allen<\/a>\u2018s Comics Unleashed. <\/p>\n

\n\tGod bless him. I know Byron. We got to know each other last year, actually. He\u2019s fascinating. You know his history with Carson? [At 18, Allen became the youngest comedian ever to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.] Anyway, when I found out, I wrote him the next morning and I said, \u201cHey, congrats. I heard you got the time. Good for you. Wouldn\u2019t it be lovely if you could drop Mr. Carson a note?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIs it better or worse than being replaced by another traditional late night comedy show?<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s none of my business.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow worried are you about the future of the genre? <\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know what it\u2019s going to be, and I don\u2019t know what I can do to help other than what I did the last 11 years. But one night I\u2019ll turn on the TV and probably no one will be there.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat kind of conversations have you had with Seth Meyers and the Jimmys on the subject?<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen I got canceled, the only other people I spoke to for days were those guys. I came up to my office [after making the announcement on-air] and flipped open my phone and we did a quick exchange. My favorite was Kimmel, who just said, \u201cThat\u2019s a hell of an Emmy campaign.\u201d I said, \u201cBusted.\u201d And then I think they might have laid bets on who was next. The other text I got was from Jon Stewart, like, \u201cWhaaaaat?\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cRight back at you, buddy.\u201d And then I closed my phone and gave it to my wife, Evie, and said, \u201cPlease don\u2019t let me have this for several days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tI was at a recent taping of your show, and, before you came out, your stage manager instructs your audience not to boo Trump. What\u2019s that about?<\/p>\n

\n\tWe don\u2019t always remember to do that, but I always want them to because we\u2019re here to harvest laughter. It\u2019s like Obama used to say, \u201cDon\u2019t boo, vote.\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cDon\u2019t boo, laugh.\u201d That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for. Booing sounds like we\u2019re cheering for sides; I\u2019m pointing and laughing. It\u2019s a different beast. But you don\u2019t always have to [tell them not to boo]. Not that my audience is a perfect cross section, but they\u2019re somewhat reflective of what the national mood is, and the more outrageous or unsettling the president\u2019s behavior is, the more likely you are to get boos. It also just bothers me because it steps on setups and punchlines.<\/p>\n

\n\tPeople presume that you\u2019re this lefty figure, but you\u2019re actually more conservative than people think. Do you agree?<\/p>\n

\n\tI do not perceive myself as some sort of bomb-throwing, left-wing radical. I wear khaki pants and button-down shirts, and I go to church on Sunday and I taught [Sunday school], and I live in a suburban Center Hall colonial and I believe in institutions and in the essential greatness of America. If I ever had a chance, I\u2019d ask the president, \u201cWhat do you mean by great?\u201d Because there was so much greatness that was awaiting him if he had actually just acknowledged it. Instead, he decided to rewrite things in his own image.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut yeah, I\u2019m a moderate, suburban Catholic, but people perceive me as this liberal thing when in fact what presents itself as modern conservatism [today] is actually radical behavior. I believe that what purports to be the present conservative movement is actually engaged in constant heresy against reality. Just wish-casting a world to exist that doesn\u2019t, which is very destructive. That\u2019s like alcoholism. That\u2019s reaching for a drug that\u2019s really a poison all the time in order to give you the worldview that you hope. And then worse than that, imposing that on other people and denying their reality.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe last time you appeared on the cover of THR, Trump was newly in office and The Late Show had just found its groove. But it had taken a long, ugly year to get to that place. In fact, then-CBS CEO Leslie Moonves had said in that piece: \u201cWas I concerned? Of course.\u201d How concerned were you?<\/p>\n

\n\tI was very anxious. I had walked away from an entirely argumentative show [The Colbert Report] where everything was an argument that [the character I played] had to win, and behind it was a desperate need to be loved, and I wanted to disengage with that game in the new place. And we were also really waved off from having a strong opinion by CBS. They wanted us to get to the guests right away. They didn\u2019t want me to do a lot of topical stuff. They wanted differentiation from the old show. And listen, they were giving the best advice they could, and we didn\u2019t have a strong enough opinion about what we wanted to do because we had this double bind. We had to replace two shows. We had to replace Dave and we had to replace me, the false me \u2014 and then they charged higher ad rates because they anticipated I would be No. 1 immediately and by far. Then they were like, \u201cHey, we\u2019re going to have to do give-backs on this.\u201d I was like, \u201cI\u2019m not the one who told you to charge more. I never said I\u2019d be No. 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat do you hope your Late Show legacy will be?<\/p>\n

\n\tI want to be remembered as a comedy show. We harvest laughter for a living, and ultimately that\u2019s the thing I want more than anything else. I just want to make the audience laugh.<\/p>\n

\n\tAre you responding to those who argue the late night shows have become more agenda-based and, thus, less funny?<\/p>\n

\n\tNow I will! No, I was having this argument with myself about maintaining the joke 25 years ago. And it\u2019s important to never forget that your standard is the joke. We\u2019re not changing the damn world. Have you seen the world? I promise you, if you think that I\u2019m on some kind of agenda, then I\u2019m really shitty at it because nothing has gone in the direction that I had hoped. I mean, nothing for 25 years. So, I do not delude myself that there\u2019s any other part of the job for me than that. And if people think that there is some other agenda going on, all the more reason to stick to that first principle that we started with 25 years ago, which is: What\u2019s funny about this?<\/p>\n
