In a move that has left the entertainment world reeling, Stephen Colbert, the veteran late-night host whose sharp wit and incisive political commentary defined The Late Show for over a decade, is staging a comeback that no one saw coming. Following the shocking announcement in July 2025 that CBS would end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, citing financial challenges, Colbert has refused to fade quietly into the night. Instead, he has partnered with U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, a rising political star from Texas known for her unapologetic candor and viral social media presence, to launch a bold new talk show. The first teaser, released earlier this month, has already sparked a firestorm of excitement, speculation, and unease across Hollywood, Washington, and late-night television circles. This isn’t just a return—it’s a calculated takeover that could reshape the industry.
