Stephen Colbert Gets Standing Ovation At 2025 Emmys After Show Cancellation

Stephen Colbert was really feeling the love at the 2025 Emmy Awards! As the first presenter of the night, the comedian took the stage to announce the nominees for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. But first, the audience rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Stephen announced in July that “The Late Show,” which airs on CBS, had been cancelled and would conclude in May 2026 after its next season.
