Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late-night show would be ending in May 2026.

Just after various late-night hosts made it clear where they stand on the issue of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert being cancelled, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission weighed in with his own — quite different — opinion.

Stephen Colbert announced "The Late Show" was cancelled three nights after revealing his summer mustache on air. Coincidence?

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has never won any Emmy in its previous nine seasons despite some notable streaks of excellence. (It has been nominated 31 times.) For much of that period, it competed in late-night’s top category against Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which Emmy voters love the way Oliver loves a minor-league baseball team .

John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and more had cameos during the July 21 episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."

Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.

Stephen Colbert received the help of some surprise guests during a Coldplay-inspired segment that trashed CBS’s cancelation of his show. “People out there are bummed about the show ending,” Colbert began.

The FCC chairman called out at the "partisan left's" reaction to Stephen Colbert's cancellation by CBS on Monday, saying they were acting like they were losing a "loyal" spokesperson.
