What Stephen Colbert's exit means for the future of late-night - PBS NewsHour
The curtain comes down one final time on Thursday for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Colbert has entertained and provoked audiences from the Ed Sullivan Theater stage for the last decade in ways that transformed the comedic landscape. Geoff Bennett takes a look at what led to this point and what it may mean for the future of late-night. It’s part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS. - Aired on 05/21/2026.
