David Letterman is making headlines once again, this time for his sharp remarks regarding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Instead of issuing a formal statement, Letterman has chosen to let his iconic humor and past jests speak volumes on the matter.
The former host of the beloved late-night show posted a captivating video montage on YouTube on Monday. This montage is a carefully curated collection of memorable clips showcasing his unique talent for roasting CBS throughout his impressive two-decade tenure on the show, which spanned from 1993 to 2015. The compilation features moments from episodes aired between 1994 and 2013, highlighting his longstanding tradition of humorously critiquing the Tiffany Network.
A particularly striking aspect of this video is the caption Letterman chose to accompany it. He wrote, “You can’t spell CBS without BS,” a clever play on words that many online observers quickly interpreted as a pointed jab at CBS. This remark has been perceived as a demonstration of support for Stephen Colbert during this challenging time.
Recently, CBS and Stephen Colbert officially announced that “The Late Show” would be concluding shortly after Colbert openly criticized Paramount Global‘s agreement with former President Donald Trump. Colbert described the deal as a “large, fat bribe,” which stirred significant controversy and caught the attention of viewers and industry insiders alike.

During the broadcast on Monday night, Colbert made headlines when he directly addressed the camera and boldly told Trump to “Go f*** yourself.” This statement has sparked speculation that Trump may have influenced the show’s cancellation, particularly given that Paramount's merger with Skydance Media is still pending regulatory approval, possibly from a Trump-influenced FCC.
