Kicking off his acceptance speech to cheers of “Stephen” from his team onstage, Stephen Colbert thanked CBS — which is canceling his show next year — for “giving us the privilege to be part of the late-night tradition, which I hope continues long after we’re no longer doing this show.”

Back in 2015, Colbert recalled, he thought he wanted his late-night show to be a comedy show about love. Instead, he said, he realized in some ways that the show was also about loss.

“And that’s related to love, because sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it,” Colbert said. “Ten years later, in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong. Be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor.”
