CBS says Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' to end in May 2026
Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show", long a staple of late-night television, will come to an end in 2026, the comedian and network CBS said on Thursday. "Next year will be our last season," the host announced on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" to boos and shouts of disbelief. "The network will be ending the show in May (2026)." CBS called the cancellation "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," and said in a statement the move was "not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at (parent company) Paramount." Paramount, CBS's parent company, reached a $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump this month in a lawsuit the entertainment giant described as meritless. The company is seeking to close its $8 billion merger with the entertainment company Skydance, which needs federal government approval. Trump had sued Paramount for $20 billion, alleging that CBS News' "60 Minutes" program deceptively edited an interview with his 2024 election rival, Kamala Harris, in her favor. Colbert, an outspoken critic of Trump, described the settlement as "a big fat bribe" on his show this week. He said on Thursday the cancellation was not just the end of his show but the end of "The Late Show" franchise on CBS. "I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away," he said. However, Trump's political opponents and other critics drew attention to the timing of the decision. "CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump -- a deal that looks like bribery," Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said on social media platform X. "America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons," Warren said. Democratic Senator Adam Schiff, who was on Colbert's show the night he announced it would be ending, said: "If Paramount and CBS ended the 'Late Show' for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better." CBS said in its Thursday statement it was "proud that Stephen called CBS home." "He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television," its statement said. abs/pbt

Shohei Ohtani to publish children's book about his dog Decoy
Shohei Ohtani is a batter, a pitcher and now an author. The Los Angeles Dodgers star announced on Thursday that he is publishing a children's book entitled "Decoy Saves Opening Day," centered around his dog Decoy (aka. Dekopin). The book, published by Harper Collins, will be co-authored with Michael Blank, with pictures by Fanny Liem. It is due to hit store shelves on Feb. 3. The book's synopsis: Decoy can't wait to throw the first pitch on Opening Day of the new baseball season! The stadium has hot dogs, the biggest backyard he's ever seen, and thousands of his best human friends. It's going to be the best day ever, but—oh, no!—Decoy forgot his lucky baseball at home! Can he get his ball and make it back to the stadium before it's too late? Decoy, a Kooikerhondje, throwing a first pitch comes straight from reality, as he "threw" the first pitch at a game last year on a night the Dodgers gave away a bobblehead of him and Ohtani. It was extremely cute. Per Harper Collins, Ohtani hopes to use proceeds of "Decoy Saves Opening Day" to support animal rescue organizations. Decoy has been a featured player in Ohtani's life since the announcement of the 2023 American League MVP award, which Ohtani won unanimously in his final season with the Los Angeles Angels. Decoy, whose name was unknown until Ohtani's introduction with the Dodgers, immediately went viral while sitting on the couch with Ohtani on the broadcast and has since become beloved in both Japan and the United States.

4 Must-Watch Thrillers on Peacock Right Now (July 2025)
Peacock may have a high turnover rate for films, but it's still got a killer lineup of thrillers to watch this month. Most notable, Peacock will soon be the streaming home for Drop, a critically acclaimed thriller that debuted in theaters earlier this year. You can find that film alongside the rest of the Watch With Us team's picks for the must-watch thrillers on Peacock in July. Note that not all of these movies will be on Peacock after July 31, so watch them while you can. 6 Must-Watch Movies on Peacock Right Now (July 2025) 'Drop' (2025) Getting back into the dating scene is a nightmare for Violet Gates (Meghann Fahy) in Drop. After years of being a single widowed mother, Violet's young son, Toby (Jacob Robinson), and Violet's sister, Jen (Violett Beane), encourage her to go on a date with Henry Campbell (Brandon Sklenar), a man she met through a dating site. Although Violet's date with Henry starts well, she is harassed by strange and alarming messages on her phone that ultimately threaten the life of her son. And if Violet doesn't cooperate with Toby's captor and act against Henry then she may never see her son alive again. Drop will stream on Peacock on July 11. 'The Outfit' (2022) The Outfit takes place almost exclusively in the tailor shop of Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance) in 1956. Leonard's primary clientele is the Irish mob, as led by Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beale) and his son, Richie (Dylan O'Brien). Despite his misgivings, Leonard even lets Richie's girlfriend, Mable Shaun (Zoey Deutch), work at the shop. If You Have to Watch 1 Peacock Movie in June 2025, Stream This 1 Now Things start to unravel when Richie shows up at the shop badly wounded alongside his top enforcer, Francis (Johnny Flynn). The Boyle family is convinced that they have a rat in the organization, and the proof is waiting in the shop. As Leonard soon discovers, that intel is also worth killing over. The Outfit is streaming on Peacock. 'Black Bag' (2025) Steven Soderbergh's spy thriller Black Bag features Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as a pair of married MI6 operatives, George Woodhouse and Kathryn St. Jean. They're far from the only couple in MI6, but their relationship status hits some roadblocks after George is told there's a traitor in MI6. Someone close to George has leaked sensitive intel, and it's his job to determine who did it. Five people conceivably could be behind the leak, one of whom is his wife. As much as George would like to ignore that possibility, Kathryn's suspicious activities make her his No. 1 suspect. Black Bag is streaming on Peacock. 3 Underrated Thrillers You Should Watch in June 2025 'Memento' (2000) Before Christopher Nolan made his name directing the Dark Knight trilogy, his calling card in Hollywood was Memento. For his first trick, Nolan shows audiences the ending of Memento before they realize what it means. Then he lets the story unfold in two parallel narratives before catching up with the conclusion. The film revolves around Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man who lost his wife and his ability to make new long-term memories due to a brutal attack. Now, Leonard's memories reset nearly every ten minutes, and he's not sure if he can trust the people around him, including Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Teddy (Joe Pantoliano). Everyone seems to take advantage of Leonard's condition, including Leonard himself. Memento is streaming on Peacock.
