John Oliver has weighed in on CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," calling it "terrible news for the world of comedy."

Stephen Colbert shares a pointed message after President Trump celebrated CBS's stunning decision to end 'The Late Show.' Late-night hosts Jon Stewart, John Oliver and others rally behind Colbert.

“Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver noted that the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” is “very sad” while speaking with reporters Saturday night. Oliver added of his friend, “I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show, it’s incredibly sad.”

“Love you Stephen,” Severance actor Adam Scott wrote in the comments of Colbert’s Instagram clip. “This is absolute bullshit, and I for one am looking forward to the next 10 months of shows.” Jon Batiste, the show’s former bandleader, called Colbert “The greatest to ever do it,” via Instagram comments.

Given that the last “celebrity” in the crowd was a cartoon Donald Trump, seemingly drawn in the style of the Colbert-produced Tooning Out The News, Miranda said, “Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on.”

Stephen Colbert is making headlines as The Late Show approaches its final season. In a rare show of late-night unity, Colbert welcomed Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver on Monday night’s episode following CBS’s decision to cancel the program.

In 2023, Kimmel and Colbert teamed up with fellow late-night legends Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver to host the podcast Strike Force Five in response to the Writers’ Guild of America strike that put a pause on their late-night shows.
