United Kingdom, May 20 -- Stephen Colbert thinks CBS might have "saved" him by ending The Late Show.

The 62-year-old comedian is set to host the last-ever episode of The Late Show later this week, after CBS announced in 2025 that it was axing the late-night TV talk show, and Stephen is now feeling philosophical about the decision.

Stephen - who has hosted the show since 2015 - told People: "I mean, you can't do this forever. You have to think about, well, when is the right time to end your tenure? I didn't think this soon, but I mean, who knows?

"Maybe CBS saved my life because it takes a lot of bone marrow to do the show every day, and now I'll be stepping down with enough time, enough energy to do other things that I want to do."
