\n\tAs many know by now, Stephen Colbert\u2019s<\/a> CBS show, The Late Show, will be cancelled by May 2026, sending a shock wave of worries throughout Hollywood<\/a> and the future of public broadcasting. While we still have time before he says his final goodbye on the iconic late-night show, he\u2019s seemingly got another gig lined up (and it\u2019s a unique take on the late-night show gig he\u2019s done for years).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn case you missed it, Vulture <\/a>reported that Colbert <\/a>is expected to guest star on CBS\u2019s dramedy Elsbeth. Elsbeth is about an unconventional attorney helping the NYPD solve grizzly murders, and it uses characters from beloved shows like The Good Wife and The Good Fight.<\/p>\n

\n\tColbert is set to play the host of the imaginary late-night show in this universe called Way Late with Scotty Bristol.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, insiders claimed to the outlet that this cheeky guest appearance \u201cwas almost surely planned\u201d before CBS\u2019s announcement about canceling his show due to financial strain. Plus, apparently, Colbert repeatedly asked to be a part of the show, saying<\/a>: \u201cI want to be the body that\u2019s found behind the pile of lettuce boxes or something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd this isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s played a late-night show host on TV, or in film. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor instance, he made a cameo as himself for The Morning Show, Strangers with Candy, BoJack Horseman<\/a>, and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. So, he\u2019s definitely got the training down for this upcoming role!<\/p>\n
