Best of 2025 TV Shows #6: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (CBS)
Well… where do we begin.
Unexpectedly this year was sought to be the beginning of the end for Late Night TV on CBS.
One criticism of taking a bribe to satisfy merger perquisites and CBS while citing costs decided to pull the plug on Stephen Colbert.
And it was fitting that he didn’t take things lying down while bringing in friends in the Strike Force Five to parody the infamous Coldplay Kiss Cam.
For going scorched earth, this was a fitting start.
SUM 22: Stephen Colbert lets loose and turns the full weight of his fury up in the wake of the semi political based end of the road for the CBS Late Night Franchise.
