Does the end of Colbert's show in May 2026 relate to the Paramount-Skydance merger? To Colbert's criticism of Donald Trump?

Radio host Charlamagne labeled CBS and Paramount the "Donkey of the Day" for canceling Colbert's show, suggesting it's part of Trump's plan to silence critics and control media.

The host, known for his biting humour, had earlier criticised Paramount for striking a legal deal with the US president.
