Life After ‘The Late Show’: Stephen Colbert’s Surprising New Gig Revealed in Shocking Report!

Stephen Colbert has reportedly already secured his next gig following the recent cancellation of “The Late Show.”

The comedian, 61, is staying put in the world of late-night after signing on as a guest star in the CBS series “Elsbeth,” Vulture reports.

Colbert will portray a late-night talk show host in the comedy series, which made its debut last summer.

He will play the host of the fictional show, “Way Late with Scotty Bristol,” in the network’s spin-off of the hit series, “The Good Wife.”

Production had commenced last week in NYC, and according to the outlet, the episode was “almost surely planned” before news that his format was axed by CBS came to light.

Colbert’s new TV gig comes months after “Elsbeth” star Wendell Pierce appeared on the “Late Show” in February, during which Colbert mentioned that he wanted to appear on the series.

In response, Pierce said that he could potentially “make that happen.”

The Post has reached out to CBS and Colbert’s reps for comment.

Colbert addressed CBS’ decision to end his long-running talk show during the July 27 taping at the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC.

“Before we start the show, I want to let you know something that I found out just last night: Next year will be our last season,” he told the crowd. “The network will be ending ‘The Late Show’ in May.”

The news was met with loud boos from the audience.

“Yeah, I share your feelings,” he said. “It’s not just the end of our show, but it’s the end of ‘The Late Show’ on CBS. I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away.”

“We get to do this show for each other, every day, all day, and I’ve had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years,” he went on.

“And it’s a job that I’m looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months. It’s going to be fun.”

The network has publicly cited financial reasons behind the decision to cancel the show.

The cancellation has since prompted a slew of comedy’s biggest stars — including David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Adam Sandler and more — to speak out in support of the host.
