The organization known as **Late_Show** primarily refers to the *Late Show* franchise, a prominent American late-night television talk show series airing on CBS since 1993. It began with David Letterman as the host, who transitioned from NBC's *Late Night with David Letterman* to launch this new franchise. The show became famous for its innovative and often offbeat approach to the talk show format, blending celebrity interviews, comedy, and musical performances. Letterman's tenure, lasting until 2015, earned the show numerous Emmy Awards and established it as a significant influence on late-night TV and comedy culture[2][3]. After Letterman's retirement in May 2015, **Stephen Colbert**—previously known for his satirical work on *The Colbert Report*—became the host. Colbert brought a fresh comedic style and political satire focus, further evolving the show's format. Under his leadership, *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert* continued to be broadcast four nights a week from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. The program has maintained critical acclaim, winning multiple Emmy Awards, and has become a platform for both prominent celebrities and up-and-coming artists[3][6][7]. The *Late Show* franchise is slated to conclude in May 2026, marking the end of over three decades of influential late-night programming on CBS[2][3]. In parallel, the related **Late Late Show** was a separate CBS late-night talk show airing from 1995 to 2023, featuring several hosts including Tom Snyder, Craig Kilborn, Craig Ferguson, and James Corden. Notably, James Corden's tenure from 2015 to 2023 introduced innovative formats like *Carpool Karaoke*, blending talk show elements with viral digital content, winning a Primetime Emmy and capturing a younger, tech-savvy audience[1][5]. Overall, the *Late Show* and its related programs have shaped America
