Stephen Colbert's Final Show Breaks Weeknight Viewership Records

The series finale of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' aired on Thursday night, achieving a remarkable average of 6.74 million viewers, the highest for a weeknight episode in the show's 11-year history. CBS canceled the show last summer due to financial pressures in late-night television, despite the strong viewership for the finale. Colbert's farewell featured a star-studded performance with Paul McCartney and others, drawing significant attention as rival shows opted for reruns. The future of late-night television may see Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon gaining Colbert's audience, while CBS plans to replace the show with 'Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen', which will shift to the 11:35 PM slot.
