“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” is earning its biggest awards haul as it heads into the end of its run. Multiple outlets report that the show’s final season receives nine Emmy nominations announced Wednesday, marking the most nominations the program has received during Stephen Colbert’s 11-year tenure as host. Both sources describe the nine nominations as a record for the series in that period, surpassing the show’s previous high. One outlet notes that the prior largest haul was three consecutive nominations over earlier years, highlighting the jump in this final cycle. The nominations are framed by the outlets as coming at the close of the show, tied to the series’ cancellation and the end of its late-night run at the Ed Sullivan Theater. While the reporting focuses on the number of nominations and the record-setting aspect, it does not provide details in the provided text about specific categories. Overall, the sources agree on the timing of the announcement and the headline figure of nine nominations for the final season.
