Stephen Colbert | Latest Articles, News, and Photos

Stephen Colbert has issued a massive reaction to everything that went down between him and CBS over James Talarico‘s interview on The Late Show.

Colbert claimed that CBS wouldn’t let him interview Talarico on the air due to FCC rules. He ended up interviewing him and putting it on YouTube instead.

CBS then released a statement saying they did not prohibit him from interviewing Talarico on the air.

All of this went down ahead of Colbert‘s Tuesday (February 17) show, and he sat down and explained everything to his audience.

There has been a lot of talk about the Monday night (February 16) episode of The Late Show after Stephen Colbert‘s claims about his Rep. James Talarico interview, saying, “We were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast.”

This apparently related to the FCC equal time provision: “if a broadcast station permits any legally qualified candidate for public office to use its facilities, it shall provide an equal opportunity to all other legally qualified candidates for that office.”

Stephen also claimed: “Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on, and because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

CBS is now responding in a statement provided to Just Jared.

He explained what happened to his audience.

“You know who is not one of my guests tonight: That’s Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” he said to his audience about the Democratic candidate for the Senate.

He then let CBS know how he felt about that: “Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on, and because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be ending at CBS this year, and now, the final show date has been revealed.

According to Deadline, Stephen Colbert will take his final bow as the show’s late night host on Thursday, May 21. No word yet on guests who will be on hand for the show’s big finale.

If you don’t know what went down last summer, here’s some backstory: in July 2025, Trump sued CBS’ parent company and claimed that 60 Minutes had edited an interview with Kamala Harris in a misleading way. Paramount settled the case for a reported $16 million. Just days later, Stephen Colbert mocked the payout on his late night talk show and called it “a big fat bribe.” Within days of his statement, CBS announced the show’s cancellation. Many were wondering if there was in any way a link between these events.

Stephen actually responded to those theories in an interview months later.
