Stephen Colbert insisted on announcing shock cancellation of ‘Late Show' — just hours after he learned about it himself
'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert insisted on announcing that his top-rated program would be canceled — just hours after finding out cash-strapped CBS would not renew his hefty contract, The Post has learned. The late-night star was told by network brass late Wednesday night that his reported $15 million to $20 million contract would not get picked up and that they were going to pull the plug on the show, according to a well-placed source. Colbert — who had returned from vacation two days earlier and blasted CBS-parent Paramount Global for settling a high-profile lawsuit with President Trump during his monologue — decided the next morning that he would waste no time in sharing the decision about his fate, the insider added. Advertisement 'He wanted to tell the world,' the source said. 'CBS said OK. They taped with an audience and had to get the news out there before the audience or staff leaked it.' 4 Stephen Colbert insisted on telling the world that his bosses cancelled 'Late Show.' AP Colbert broke the news to the shocked studio audience at The Ed Sullivan Theater in New York's Midtown during taping at 5:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Advertisement 'It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of 'The Late Show' on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away,' Colbert said to a chorus of boos. Less than two hours later, CBS sent out a press release that included the taped comments, which would air at 11:35 p.m. ET that night. A rep for CBS confirmed the network worked with Colbert on rolling out the announcement. 4 Colbert's show was canceled days before he called CBS' settlement with Trump a 'bribe.' csuarez Advertisement Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks, who oversees CBS, claimed it was 'purely a financial decision' to pull the plug on the late-night staple, first-launched by David Letterman in 1993. Colbert, who took over hosting duties a decade ago, will stay on the air until May of next year. The Post reported that the show was losing betweek $40 million and $50 million annually, and that advertising had slumped along with overall viewership. Meanwhile, Puck News reported that the show's annual production cost was a sky-high $100 million. A source familiar with the situation said that all the late-night shows have been battling paltry viewership and declining ratings, but that Colbert's show had higher costs, making it hard to justify continuing the program. 'If it was losing money like that, then it had to be canceled,' the source told The Post. Advertisement 4 CBS said the show's cancellation was financial. According to reports, the show had a budget of $100 million and had been losing $40 million annually. AP However, several left-leaning pundits and lawmakers speculated that Colbert's steady diet of anti-Trump rhetoric, including last Monday over the Paramount settlement, played a pivotal role in killing the show. 'I believe this kind of complicated financial sentiment with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. 'It's a 'big fat bribe,'' Colbert quipped. 'Because it all comes as Paramount's owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance!' The settlement of the lawsuit has been viewed as helping pave the way for Trump's Federal Communications Commission boss Bredndan Carr to greenlight Skydance Media's $8 billion acqusition of Paramount. CBS has previously denied that ther settlement and merger talks are not connected. 4 Colbert's last show will be in May of next year. CBS via Getty Images 'I've lost interest in extreme POVs on either end, but I see this as a chilling of free speech and the timing seems to send a strong message that this is cause and effect for what he said about the settlement,' a CBS staffer told Fox News. Advertisement 'The CBS leadership could have cloaked it somehow, but made a decision not to.' On Monday, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon and other top comedians were expected to rally around Colbert and make a cameo on 'The Late Show,' The Post exclusively reported.

What's Going on Aboard Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas's Yacht?
You know how it is: You're with your extremely famous, rich, successful rumored boyfriend on an 'intimate' little yacht vacation in Menorca, just the two of you (and his various Scientologist disciples via Zoom, I assume), when suddenly paparazzi encircle the vessel and find what appears to be incontrovertible proof that the two of you are a capital-T Thing. What do you do? If you're Ana de Armas, you say nothing, letting a 'source' tell the tabloids that you're single and just really 'focused' on your role opposite Tom Cruise in Doug Liman's upcoming thriller film Deeper. And yet…the yacht images persist! Setting aside the sheer hilarity of any luxury-yacht-based trip being called intimate—oh, I'm sure!—I can't stop wondering whether Cruise and de Armas could be, in fact, dating. (Some mentally pore over questions of particle physics or 18th-century British history for work…I, personally, am lucky enough to devote the lion's share of my gray matter to celebrity hookups. Yes, I'm quite blessed!) Is Cruise just an 'incredible mentor' to de Armas, or is she 'losing her patience' at having to hide her relationship with the 63-year-old action star? All this rumination brings me to another key question, one I've had for years: Do women actually find Tom Cruise sexy? For some reason that I can't quite put my finger on (ahem, the aforementioned Scientology), I'm tempted to say no, but some of the things that make Cruise a less-than-traditional leading man—such as his height, which is famously a modest five feet seven—are actually kind of attractive when I consider them outside of the context of his specific personality. Does the man wear lifts? Possibly-slash-probably. And yet short kings like Tom Holland and Jeremy Allen White are pulling their own modest statures off with aplomb. (As a side note, remember when Nicole Kidman said that she was happy to be able to wear heels again after her marriage to Cruise ended?) While I would undoubtedly find Cruise hotter if he embraced having taller girlfriends whom he could literally look up to, there's no arguing that he is exceedingly well-preserved for a man in his 60s, not to mention a father of three children whose ages range from 19 (Suri) to 30 and 32 (Connor and Isabella, respectively). This isn't about what I find attractive, though; it's about what de Armas values in a man. And if we can glean anything from her prior relationships with the likes of Ben Affleck and stepson to the president of Cuba Manuel Anido Cuesta, it's that she clearly likes a man who's left his mark on the culture in some way or other. Who better to fill her ex-boyfriends' shoes, then, than the star of once and future Top Guns?
