Jamie Lee Curtis weighs in on CBS' cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Jamie Lee Curtis has shared her thoughts on CBS' controversial decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a move that has sparked significant backlash. While attending the Culture Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 17, Curtis was asked about the network's announcement and expressed her disappointment, stating, "It's bad."

The 66-year-old actress, known for her roles in Freaky Friday and Halloween, praised Colbert, calling him "a great, great guy." Colbert, who has hosted the late-night program since 2015, will see the show come to an end in May 2026.

Curtis also used the occasion to voice her concerns over recent legislative changes aimed at rolling back funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supports PBS and NPR. "They're trying to silence people," Curtis said cryptically, before predicting, "That won't work. We will just get louder," with a confident smile.

The cancellation of The Late Show has raised eyebrows across the entertainment industry, with many, including Curtis, voicing their disapproval. As the 2026 end date looms closer, it remains to be seen what impact the decision will have on late-night television and the broader cultural landscape.
