Samantha Bee doesn’t find it surprising that CBS decided to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert amid the Paramount and Skydance merger. The former late-night talk show host made an appearance on the Breaking Bread with Tom Papa podcast where she gave her take on Colbert’s show getting cancelled.

When Paramount listed its slate of highly rated TV shows during its last earnings report, including "Tracker," the top rated series and "Matlock," the highest rated new series, it also listed Colbert's "The Late Show" as the highest rated broadcast late night show. "The Daily Show," also from Paramount, was the top late night show on cable TV.
