After more than 30 years, The Late Show is coming to an end. The final episode of the long-running CBS late-night talk show, now hosted by Stephen Colbert, is scheduled for Thursday, May 21.

The Late Show made its debut on CBS in August 1993 with host David Letterman, the longtime anchor of NBC’s Late Night. Colbert, who had been the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, took over for Letterman in September 2015.

"It's not just the end of our show, it's the end of The Late Show on CBS," Colbert told viewers last year after the network announced it was canceling the franchise. "I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away."

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Letterman said he “would be surprised” if late-night television “lasts more than a year.”
