Jon Stewart lambasted CBS’ decision to cancel “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," ripping their shared parent company for what he called a capitulation to Trump.

Sandra Oh criticized CBS and Paramount during her appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on July 21 after its cancellation was announced. The network said it was "a financial decision," but the news came days after Colbert criticized Paramount for its $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump.

Kicking off Monday’s show with a joke about Trump wanting to change the name of the Washington Commanders NFL team (the “Washington Epsteins,” Colbert suggested), he walked into the Ed Sullivan Theater to loud cheers and said “This is going to be fun.” It certainly was.

Local businesses are bracing for a financial hit if “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” ends in May as planned. Akhil Reddy, who works in the NYC Gifts and Luggage next to the Ed Sullivan Theater, says,

CBS canceled Stephen Colbert's late night show last week. By not appreciating, defending and nurturing The Late Show Paramount is muzzling its best voices, and diluting its own broadcast future.

Jon Stewart has gone full-scorched Earth on his own parent company. The Daily Show host used the opening of his Monday night show to give his hot take on the cancelation of his old friend Stephen Colbert’s Late Show.
