Edited by Sia on July 18, 2025, 5:38 pm EDIT: Paramount is letting him finish his contract provided that he mind his manners regarding Paramount, NOT trump! Paramount just doesn't want another lawsuit against them by Colbert for breach of contract. If it was about trump trashing to gain favor with them he'd be done, come lawsuit or not. trump claims credit for all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with him fairly regularly! This is just one more!
The upcoming merger deal has been in the works for MONTHS! Colbert has been having a field day criticizing trump quite harshly. Not a word from CBS or Paramount.
Paramount paid off trump for his idiotic lawsuit about Kamala's 60 minutes interview.
Colbert trashed Paramount for it, suggesting @ss kissing of trump 3 days ago. Suddenly he's told that his show will end NEXT MAY. Not today. Not next week, but NEXT MAY 2026. In the meantime, Colbert has continued trashing trump but NOT trashing CBS or Paramount. He has the top rated show on their network.
So you figure it out. If he was being fired because trump wanted it, he'd already be gone.
