The King of Late Night isn’t going anywhere: Stephen Colbert will remain at The Late Show through 2026. While speaking at the Banff TV Festival on Tuesday, CBS CEO George Cheeks revealed that CBS had reached a contract extension with the comedian to continue as host of its top-rated The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for another three years.

His current pact was set to expire this year. “We just extended him for three more years and I was praying for that to happen,” Cheeks said at a Deadline-moderated panel.

He added that The Late Show was “absolutely crushing it” and “firing on all cylinders”. The deal to keep Colbert comes at a transitional time for CBS’ late night lineup.
