The Late Show with Stephen Colbert won the Outstanding Talk Series trophy at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, signaling a peak as the franchise nears its final chapter.
Coverage notes the Emmy win as a capstone to Colbert’s decades in late-night, with the series’ final run in sight due to CBS’s looming cancellation.
Not only did Colbert get fired, but The Late Show in its entirety was canceled, framing the Emmys moment within a larger story of the show’s end.
