The unimaginable just happened — Stephen Colbert has been canceled, and the late-night world is in utter chaos.

“They canceled Colbert. And now it’s all chaos late at night,” Jimmy Fallon said, shaking his head as the cameras rolled on a stunned Tonight Show set.
In a historic show of solidarity, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers have announced they’ll come together live on air Monday night in what’s being called “The Loudest Protest in Comedy History.”

For years, Colbert was the quiet cornerstone — bold but balanced, funny yet fierce. Now, with his sudden removal from CBS amid swirling controversy, the entire comedy world is flipping the script.
Insiders say the four hosts are dropping monologue rivalries and combining airtime for a one-night special across multiple networks to demand answers and defend creative freedom.
“This isn’t just about Colbert. This is about all of us,” said John Oliver. “If they can silence him, none of us are safe.”
Monday night won’t be funny. It’ll be furious.

And the world will be watching.
