Colbert Wins Emmy After Show’s Cancellation but Avoids Discussing Trump

The win follows CBS’s cancellation of the long-running show, which ended Colbert’s 11-season run and drew more than 6 million viewers for its finale.

  • At the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" won Outstanding Variety Series at the 78th Emmy Awards on Sunday.
  • CBS controversially canceled the longtime show over a year ago, ending Colbert's 11-season run on the air and closing decades of programming history.
  • More than 6 million viewers watched the finale, making it the show's most-watched weeknight episode ever; Colbert credited the "over 200 people" who worked for 11 years.
  • Colbert slammed a $16 million settlement between Paramount Global and President Donald Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, calling it a "big, fat bribe."
  • Jimmy Kimmel returned the favor after Colbert endorsed him, adding "I'm voting for Stephen" to his "For Your Consideration" billboards.
