Listen Later

The industry was rocked by the news that CBS is cancelling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and ending the franchise entirely in 2026. While CBS claims it’s purely a financial decision, speculation is swirling — including questions about political pressure.

Christina is joined by AwardsWatch’s Ryan McQuade to unpack Colbert’s exit — and whether this marks the beginning of the end for traditional late night as we know it.

They also discuss Emmy nomination surprises as well as the latest lineup announcements from TIFF and Venice. Plus, Ryan’s reactions to the 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer & 'The Fantastic Four'. A jam-packed episode!
