CBS is giving Stephen Colbert another late-night gig—just not in this universe. Following the network’s controversial cancellation of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Colbert has joked about launching a podcasting career when the curtain falls on the show in May 2026.

Stephen Colbert is reportedly set to make his way to a new, fictional late night home following CBS ’s shock decision to cancel “ The Late Show ” next year. Colbert is expected to guest star on CBS’s police procedural dramedy “ Elsbeth ,” a spinoff of “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” according to Vulture.

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will end in May, but a constellation of stars continue to light the late-night space. Who is still shining?
