Stephen Colbert has less than four months left on "The Late Show."
CBS will pull the curtain on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on May 21, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter.
Colbert reportedly shared his final day on the show during his Jan. 27 appearance on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," which was taped the prior day.
USA TODAY has reached out to "Late Show" representatives for comment. LateNighter was first to report the news.
The news comes six months after Colbert revealed in a shock announcement that parent company Paramount Global decided to end the show after more than three decades.
"We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire 'The Late Show' franchise at that time," the company's statement said. "We are proud that Stephen called CBS home."
The move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," the statement added. "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount."
