CBS announced the ending of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next May. There are concerns regarding the future of The Daily Show hosted by Jon Stewart, especially in light of Paramount's $16 million settlement to Donald Trump. Both Colbert and Stewart criticized this settlement as a bribe and a signal of loyalty. The ongoing merger deal between Paramount and Skydance requires federal approval and raises questions about potential impacts on both shows. Stewart humorously remarked about his uncertain future, drawing on past experiences of being let go from various establishments.
Both blasted Paramount for its recent decision to pay the president $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Colbert called the payment a big fat bribe, while Stewart remarked on it reeking of fealty.
Stewart expressed uncertainty about the future of The Daily Show, noting that he hadn't heard from Skydance regarding the cancellation of his show amid the merger with Paramount.
