The decision "is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," the network said.

The show is the most-watched late-night program on U.S. broadcast television and a frequent platform of satire aimed at Trump. Colbert told his audience on Thursday that he was informed of his show's cancellation the night before.
