Letterman Unleashes Vintage CBS Criticisms Amid Colbert’s Controversial Late Show Cancellation

In a powerful statement following the controversial cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, late-night legend David Letterman has resurfaced a biting montage of his past criticisms against CBS.

Released on Monday, the 20-minute YouTube compilation, titled “CBS: The Tiffany Network,” features Letterman’s iconic quips from his own tenure, famously captioned: “You can’t spell CBS without BS.” The video includes clips spanning from 1994 to 2013, showcasing Letterman’s candid takes on network decisions, including the removal of NFL from CBS airwaves and the network’s perceived lack of promotion for his own show.

Letterman’s pointed video emerges just days after CBS announced the abrupt end of Colbert’s Late Show, citing “purely financial” reasons amidst a “challenging backdrop in late night.” However, this explanation has been met with skepticism and strong criticism, especially as the cancellation followed Colbert’s on-air commentary regarding the network’s parent company’s settlement with Donald Trump.

Prominent figures, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Adam Schiff, have publicly questioned the motives behind CBS’s decision. Warren tweeted, “A deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons,” while Schiff echoed similar concerns, stating, “If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”
