John Oliver, Stephen Colbert's fellow "Daily Show" alum, is speaking out about CBS' shock cancellation of "The Late Show."

CBS' shock announcement sparked speculation over whether there was a political motive for the program's cancellation.

On Thursday, CBS announced that it was cancelling the long running The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The cancellation news came just days after Stephen Colbert, a critic of Donald Trump, called out Paramount, the parent company of CBS, over its $16 million settlement with the president.
