Jamie Lee Curtis Thinks Colbert’s Cancellation Isn’t Just About Ratings — & Her Words Are Chilling – sheknows
Jamie Lee Curtis has a sharp eye for patterns. And this week, she’s spotting one most people would rather not say out loud.
After CBS announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026, the Oscar winner was blunt. “It’s bad,” she told the Associated Press. “He’s a great, great guy. They just cut NPR and, you know, public broadcasting. Yes, they’re trying to silence people. But that won’t work. We will just get louder.” It wasn’t just a statement of support. It was a warning, especially given everything else shaking out with media over the past week.
Colbert’s show is still number one in its time slot. CBS says the decision was financial, citing rising production costs and shrinking ad revenue across late night, per CNN. But the timeline is hard to ignore. Paramount, CBS’s parent company, is currently pushing through a high-stakes merger with Skydance Media, led by David Ellison — a longtime Trump ally. That merger still needs sign-off from the Trump administration. Just days before Colbert’s cancellation was announced, CBS settled a lawsuit with Trump and agreed to allocate $16 million to his future presidential library. Trump celebrated the move online and hinted that other late-night hosts could be next.
So no, this isn’t just about the money. And Curtis knows it.
