このコンテンツについて
Stephen Colbert has spent the last few days in the thick of late-night intrigue as CBS continues to air summer reruns of The Late Show, with fans awaiting his first new episode after the break on September 2, 2025. The reruns this week have been a curated selection from earlier in the year, featuring appearances by high-profile guests like Jamie Lee Curtis, Liam Neeson, Sandra Oh, and Senator Cory Booker, but viewers are clearly counting down to Colbert’s return after what’s been a tumultuous summer for late night and for Colbert’s own future at CBS according to Last Night On.
Behind the scenes, Colbert’s name is everywhere following the bombshell July announcement that CBS will shutter The Late Show at the end of the 2025-2026 season, a decision framed by network executives as purely financial but widely interpreted as fallout, at least in part, from mounting political pressure. The news came just days after Colbert publicly criticized CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for settling a high-stakes lawsuit with Donald Trump during a tense election cycle—fueling speculation about whether Colbert’s take-no-prisoners satire ultimately cost him his chair in the Ed Sullivan Theater. CBS’s denial has done little to calm the theory that politics played a role, with outlets from Variety to People and The Wrap wrestling with the conflicting motives and what it all means for the state of late-night TV.
Colbert hasn’t retreated from the headlines or let the uncertainty dull his punch. He’s used his rerun-filled weeks to speculate on air about next steps, most notably teasing a shift to podcasting during a July show with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, even roping them into a playful live negotiation about producing a real-life show with his wife Evie as co-host. The recurring theme: Colbert wants a new gig, and he’s happy to make the hunt part of the show.
The CBS audience will also get a fresh look at Colbert in October when he guest stars as a fictional late-night host on the hit CBS mystery series Elsbeth. First-look photos have started circulating, stirring buzz as Colbert steps into the world of scripted comedy with longtime friend Amy Sedaris and SNL alum Andy Richter. This marks both a return to his acting roots and a wink to his network bosses that he’s far from finished—no matter what happens after The Late Show finale next year.
On the social side, Jon Batiste, Colbert’s former bandleader, took to Rolling Stone and People recently to defend Colbert’s free-speech bona fides, saying Colbert’s silencing is a symptom of “big money” in media and vowing his friend’s voice “won’t be silenced.” Major headlines this week focus on Colbert’s looming network departure, his Elsbeth acting turn, and the ongoing mystery surrounding CBS’s decision—proving, once again, that in both comedy and controversy, Stephen Colbert can always command the last word, at least for now.
