The Exact Date Of Stephen Colbert's Final Episode Of The Late Show Revealed!
OMG, it’s happening!
Late-night TV just got a major shake-up that’s been a long time coming. Stephen Colbert has OFFICIALLY announced the much-anticipated exact date of his very last episode of The Late Show, and yes, a whole buncha feelings are being FELT.
Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 21, 2026, y’all. That’s when Colbert drops the mic, turns off the lights, and says goodnight for the final time. After more than a decade behind the desk, the king of smart snark is peacing out, and The Late Show will be no more. And honestly? Late night will never be the same.
Colbert broke the news on pal Seth Meyers‘ late-night show this week with his trademark charm, confirming this isn’t a hiatus, a “creative break,” or one of those “I’ll be back in six months” situations. Nope. This is THE END. Finito. Curtain closed.
Let’s be real: Colbert didn’t just host a show here. He owned the political satire lane, roasted presidents left and right (but then that was part of the problem, wasn’t it?), and somehow made smart jokes go viral in an age of doom-scrolling. Not easy! And while some hosts faded or flopped, Colbert stayed sharp, relevant, and consistently booked the biggest names in politics and pop culture for years… and years… and years across multiple different TV projects! Love him or hate him, you’ve gotta give the man some freakin’ credit!
Now, the real drama: how does this really tie back to the infamous sitch with Donald Trump? And what will CBS do next with their programming plan?! Well, uh, TBD on both counts!
One thing’s for certain at this point: May 21 is going to be emotional, nostalgic, and probably packed with surprise guests and tear-jerking moments. Kleenex, anyone?
