斯蒂芬·科尔伯特主持的《深夜秀》将于2026年5月停播，CBS表示此举纯属财务决策，与节目表现、内容或派拉蒙的任何其他事务无关。在节目停播前，科尔伯特在最新一期节目中借用名人嘉宾和恶搞音乐的形式，对公司支付唐纳德·特朗普1600万美元以解决诉讼一事进行了讽刺，并以“公司通知”的形式暗示了节目的取消是出于财务原因。这一系列举动引发了公众对节目未来和公司决策的广泛关注。

⭐《深夜秀》宣布将于2026年5月停播，CBS官方声明称此决定纯粹出于财务原因，与节目的收视表现、内容制作或母公司派拉蒙的内部事务无关。这一声明旨在澄清外界关于节目停播可能与唐纳德·特朗普诉讼案等其他因素相关的猜测。

🎭在节目停播的消息公布后，斯蒂芬·科尔伯特在其主持的首期节目中，通过一系列精心设计的幽默桥段对公司决策进行了含蓄但尖锐的讽刺。他邀请了众多知名艺人，如亚当·桑德勒、吉米·法伦和赛斯·梅耶斯等，在节目中以恶搞“亲吻摄像机”的形式出现，并穿插了动画版的唐纳德·特朗普拥抱派拉蒙标志的画面，巧妙地影射了公司支付巨额赔款的事件。

🎶科尔伯特在节目中还邀请了“怪人阿尔”扬科维奇和林-曼努尔·米兰达，共同演绎了Coldplay的歌曲《Viva La Vida》，并以此作为讽刺的载体。在表演高潮时，科尔伯特以“公司通知”的形式打断了演出，并引用了“纯属财务决策”的说法，进一步强化了他对公司财务决策导致节目停播的无奈和讽刺。

💰科尔伯特在7月14日曾公开评论CBS母公司派拉蒙全球公司向唐纳德·特朗普支付1600万美元以和解诉讼一事，暗示这笔赔款或许能帮助修复他对公司的信任。这一言论与节目停播的“财务决策”背景相呼应，使得此次停播事件更具话题性，也让观众对公司管理和内容创作之间的关系产生了更多思考。

On Monday, Stephen Colbert hosted his first "The Late Show" since it was cancelled. CBS said it was "purely a financial decision," and unrelated to Donald Trump suing Paramount.Stars including Adam Sandler, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers were in the audience for a kiss-cam spoof.

"The Late Show" may be coming to an end next may, but Stephen Colbert pulled no punches in the first episode since CBS cancelled the show, by taking a tab at Paramount in his monologue and filling his audience with celebrities.

On Thursday, CBS cancelling "The Late Show" was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." It added that it was unrelated to "the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

The surprising move came after Colbert criticized CBS Entertainment's parent company, Paramount Global, for disclosing its agreement to pay Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit in which he accused the company of "deceptively editing" an interview with Kamala Harris on "60 Minutes" in October.

"I don't know if anything will repair my trust in this company. But, just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help," he said on July 14.

Afterward, he introduced "Weird Al" Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who performed Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" in a spoof of last week's viral Astronomer CEO kiss-cam incident.

Celebrities including Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, the "Hacks" star Christopher McDonald, Adam Sandler pretended to be caught on kiss-cam. The montage also included an animated version of Trump hugging the Paramount logo.

Colbert ended the skit by interrupting Yankovic and Miranda's performance by jokingly saying he had a "note from corporate."

"Your song has been canceled. It says here, 'This is a purely financial decision,'" he said. He added that since they started singing, "the network has lost, and I don't know how this is possible, $40 million to $50 million," referencing the losses that CBS claims explain the show's cancellation.

Representatives for CBS did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.
