Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, strongly criticized CBS and Paramount on Monday’s episode for their decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Stewart suggested the network’s move was influenced by fears of President Donald Trump rather than purely financial reasons.
According to MSNBC, the cancellation comes shortly after Paramount’s $16 million settlement with Trump, a timing that has prompted senators to question whether this looks like bribery over a 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. This timing has raised questions about the company’s motives, especially as Paramount seeks approval from the Trump administration for its merger with Skydance.
