With the recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, there have been questions about the future of late night talk shows.
News that the CBS late night show was cancelled came on Thursday, July 17. The network cited the move as a financial decision and not a response to Stephen Colbert's recent heavy criticism of a deal CBS made with President Donald Trump to end a lawsuit.
The reason had fans up in arms because Colbert's show has been a top rated show for nine consecutive seasons, leading to questions about the future of other late night talk shows.

On Thursday's The Weekly Show podcast, Jon Stewart opened up about his late-night talk show, The Daily Show, which has been on air for 29 years. Stewart has been the host for 16 of those years, having returned as a part-time host last year.
Near the end of the podcast, Stewart asked Brittany Mehmedovic what the listeners wanted to know. She asked if he believed Skydance would cancel The Daily Show after the merger with Paramount Global went through.
Paramount Media Networks, which is a division of Paramount Global, owns Comedy Central. CBS, which just announced the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, is owned by Paramount Global. Skydance Media and Paramount Global are working on a merger that could change the media landscape.
"Unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything from [the network.]" Stewart began. "They haven’t called me and said like, ‘Don’t get too comfortable in that office, Stewart!'"

He continued, "But let me tell you something: I’ve been kicked out of s—tier establishments than that. We’ll land on our feet."
Stewart pointed out that The Daily Show is one of Comedy Central's most popular shows. He quipped, "I don’t know. Comedy Central is kind of like Muzak at this point. I think we’re the only sort of life that exists on a current basis other than South Park. But it’s the only thing on there."
