The strategically placed advertisement features a simple yet powerful message: "I'm voting for Stephen." The billboard serves as both a gesture of support for fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert and a pointed commentary on CBS's recent cancellation of "The Late Show."

Critics, however, have called out the timing of the announcement, which came in the same month that Paramount Global, the parent company of Colbert's network, agreed to pay $16 million to President Donald Trump over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired on 60 Minutes in November.

Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late night show would be ending in May 2026.
