Stephen Colbert's run on late night television is coming to an end.

Colbert's last late show was Thursday.

He began hosting the show in 2015, but last summer CBS announced the show would end this month.

CBS cited economic reasons, but Colbert and others suspect political pressure played a role.

The decision followed paramount settlement of President Trump's lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview and its pending sale to Skydance Media.
