CBS has identified a successor to carry its late night programming forward following the end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

After the program broadcasts its final episode on May 21, the network will shift its 11:35 p.m. time slot to Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen starting May 22, according to an April 6 press release. The move comes as Colbert concludes a decade-long run as host of the long running late night franchise on CBS.

Following the transition, Comics Unleashed will anchor the earlier late night block, with Byron Allen's additional program, Funny You Should Ask, continuing as part of the network's lineup. Both shows are already part of CBS's overnight schedule and will now expand into the earlier time slot once Colbert's show ends.

The change marks the close of an era for CBS viewers, as the network had previously announced the cancellation of Late Show in July 2025 after a 33 year run. While audiences have expressed nostalgia and disappointment at the end of the program, Allen has emphasized his commitment to maintaining a strong comedic presence for viewers during late night hours.

In a statement, Allen noted that Comics Unleashed was created two decades ago to give comedians a platform to showcase their work. He expressed appreciation for CBS's decision to highlight both Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask as part of a two hour comedy block, adding that there is always room for more humor in late night television.

A beloved character is receiving a farewell salute from NCIS.

On the March 24 episode, eighteen years after the leader's debut in season five, the crime procedural bid farewell to Director Leon Vance (played by Rocky Carroll). The late Chief Medical Examiner Donald "Ducky" Mallard (played by Adam Campbell) welcomed Vance to heaven after he was shot and killed by a dishonest agent during the 500th episode.

What is Carroll's opinion of leaving the show? Since the last scene was filmed last year, he has had a few months to deal with his departure.

In an interview with Variety that was published on March 24, he said, "I've been able to wrap my mind around it and come to terms with it because I've known about this since November, when I was first told about what was going to happen." "And the last scene, where Director Vance realizes that he’s been talking to basically the grim reaper, the angel of death, and walks toward the light, that was shot on Dec. 11."

According to the 62-year-old, he has now "come full circle with it."Carroll went on, "I really think it's a great episode." "I’m not just saying this to be a team player, but if you’ve gotta send a character off, what a way to go."
