In a fiery outburst that’s sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, Andy Cohen didn’t hold back after CBS canceled The Late Show. Speaking on national television, Cohen slammed the network, accusing them of doing far more than pulling the plug on a show.

“They didn’t just cut the lights—they burned the building!” he declared.
The Watch What Happens Live host argued that CBS’s decision wasn’t just about ending a program—it was about erasing a cultural legacy.
“CBS is cooked,” Cohen warned. “This will change TV forever.”
Cohen, known for his blunt honesty and no-filter attitude, expressed deep frustration over how the network handled the cancellation. He suggested that CBS had not only turned its back on a historic late-night institution but also alienated a loyal audience in the process.

“This isn’t just a programming decision,” he said. “This is scorched-earth. This is erasing years of trust and creativity.”
While CBS has yet to respond publicly to Cohen’s comments, social media erupted with reactions. Many fans and insiders are calling it a pivotal moment in the decline of traditional late-night television—and possibly a wake-up call for the industry.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: this isn’t just the end of a show—it might be the end of an era.
