David Letterman is subtly showing support for his successor Stephen Colbert after CBS' shock cancellation of "The Late Show."

Current “Late” host Stephen Colbert announced the end of the talk show institution last week, seeming entirely caught by surprise. Letterman helmed the series from 1993 until his retirement in 2015. He responded to the news on Monday, sharing a 20-minute supercut of bits taking potshots at the Tiffany Network.

Jon Stewart pulled no punches Monday over CBS’s cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night show. During Monday night’s broadcast of “The Daily Show,” Stewart’s first since Colbert on Thursday shared that “The Late Show” would not return beyond May 2026, the late-night veteran lambasted CBS for canceling the program.
