On today’s Morning Hustle, the conversation heated up with three major stories dominating headlines. First, CBS has canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — set to end in May 2026 — after the host called the network’s $16 million settlement with former President Trump a "big fat bribe." Though CBS cited financial losses as the cause, many, including late-night peers and politicians, suspect political motives tied to Paramount's pending merger and regulatory pressure. This marks a significant moment in the decline of traditional late-night TV and raises questions about media independence.
Next, Congress abruptly recessed early, avoiding a crucial vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Critics argue that the GOP left town rather than confront mounting calls — including a subpoena by a House subcommittee — to compel DOJ transparency. Finally, fans of Tyler Perry’s hit show Sistas got an insider’s scoop in a fireside chat with Crystal Hayslett and Devale Ellis, who teased what viewers can expect in Season 9 of the beloved series.
