Canceled comedian Stephen Colbert is already being erased from CBS more than three months before his show officially ends its run, insiders say.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air until May 21, but photos of the 61-year-old host have already been quietly removed from the network’s broadcast center on West 57th Street in New York, multiple sources tell Straight Shuter.

“It’s like he was never there, like The Late Show never existed at all,” one insider says.

Sources say the Emmy winner’s staff has also been cut off from company-wide CBS emails, effectively removing them from internal communications. “That’s the clearest signal it’s truly over,” another source tells Straight Shuter.

The Late Show team was also excluded from a recent all-company town hall.

And they shouldn’t expect an official goodbye party. “There will be no sendoff,” a network insider confirms. CBS is not planning — and will not pay for — any farewell fete. “If the staff wants something, that’s on them.”

But even an unofficial gathering could get awkward, as major CBS stars, including Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil, Norah O’Donnell and even Anderson Cooper, are unlikely to attend, an insider says.

The cold shoulder comes as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert limps through what’s shaping up to be its worst January ever among adults 25-54, averaging just 285,000 viewers.
