David Letterman's YouTube channel has posted several videos seemingly criticizing CBS's decision to cancel Stephen Colbert's Late Show in 2026. One video is a montage of Letterman's past jabs at CBS, highlighting perceived mistreatment. The cancellation, framed by CBS as a financial decision, has sparked speculation among comedians, who suggest Colbert's criticisms of Trump may have played a role. Letterman's actions, though not explicitly stated, appear to be a show of support for Colbert and disapproval of CBS's choice.
