You Vote: As feud between Colbert and CBS heats up, what do you think should happen next?

The ongoing feud between The Late Show host Stephen Colbert and CBS, which airs the program, heated up Tuesday night after Colbert claimed the network’s denial that it blocked a political interview from airing was “crap.”Colbert claimed during his Monday night show that he was supposed to have Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, who is running for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate from Texas, on his show but was told by the network’s lawyers not to do the interview or even mention it.
The network denied that interpretation of the decision not to air the interview during the normal program, stating that it warned him instead that the interview could trigger the Federal Communications Commission’s equal-time rule.
Colbert said during Tuesday night’s episode of his talk show that the denial was dishonest because the network’s legal team reviews the script of each episode before it airs.
CBS announced last year that the show was losing tens of millions of dollars a year, and they were ending it in May 2026.
