The King of Late Night isn’t going anywhere: Stephen Colbert will remain at The Late Show through 2026.
While speaking at the Banff TV Festival on Tuesday, CBS CEO George Cheeks revealed that CBS had reached a contract extension with the comedian to continue as host of its top-rated The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for another three years. His current pact was set to expire this year.
“We just extended him for three more years and I was praying for that to happen,” Cheeks said at a Deadline-moderated panel.
He added that The Late Show was “absolutely crushing it” and “firing on all cylinders”.
The deal to keep Colbert comes at a transitional time for CBS’ late night lineup. In April, James Corden appeared in his final Late Late Show after eight years in the timeslot after Colbert.
The Late Late Show is being replaced with a reboot of former Comedy Central series @midnight.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large The decision to realign “variety talk” and “variety sketch” this year into “talk” and “scripted variety” didn’t do much to change that. If anything, it further narrowed the field, as perennial variety talk winner “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” has now been kicked over to scripted variety. As a result, my colleague Clayton Davis counts only 14 series eligible for the outstanding talk nomination. And it’s not much better in scripted variety, where just 10 shows appear to be eligible.

Whilst it would be completely normal to assume contestants on Love Island are looking for their idea love match, this wasn't lthe case for one of last year's favourites, Luca Bish. Speaking to OK! exclusively, the 24 year old told us that he "didn't go there for a swim and to fall in love." Every year thousands of singletons around the country apply for a place in the villa in the hope of finding the one, but as the ITVX show has grown in popularity, some viewers have questioned whether certain contestants are searching for a mega-bucks clothing line deal, or a boost in social media numbers, rather than a romantic soulmate.
Twelve months after setting foot in the Love Island villa, Luca Bish describes the past year as a “whirlwind”. From working with Scott Disick’s brand Talentless to splitting from his girlfriend Gemma Owen, the former fishmonger, 23, has plenty to reflect on when we catch up with him. It’s safe to say Luca didn’t have an easy ride on the ITV2 dating show.
