CBS is revamping its late-night programming lineup, ending “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and replacing it with a two-hour comedy block led by media executive and comedian Byron Allen.

“The Late Show” is scheduled to air its final episode on May 21, concluding Colbert’s 11-year run as host after taking over the franchise in 2015 following David Letterman’s retirement. During his tenure, Colbert became a leading figure in late-night television, known for blending political satire with interviews and cultural commentary.

Beginning May 22, “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen” will take over the 11:35 p.m. ET/PT time slot historically held by “The Late Show.” The program will air weeknights in a back-to-back half-hour format through 12:37 a.m. and will also be available for live streaming on Paramount+.

CBS will follow that block with “Funny You Should Ask,” a comedy game show hosted by Jon Kelley, airing from 12:37 a.m. to 1:37 a.m. ET/PT. Like the preceding program, it will run as two consecutive half-hour episodes and stream on Paramount+.

The shift represents a departure from the traditional late-night talk show format that has defined the network’s lineup for decades under both Letterman and Colbert. Both new programs are produced by Allen Media Group, expanding Byron Allen’s role within CBS programming.

Allen said the move reflects a long-standing effort to create opportunities for comedians, noting that “Comics Unleashed,” which debuted in 2006, was designed to give performers a platform to showcase their work.

“Funny You Should Ask,” launched in 2017, combines elements of a game show with comedic panel discussions, featuring celebrity participants offering humorous responses to trivia questions. Both shows have previously aired in syndication across CBS-owned stations nationwide.
