Stephen Colbert shares thoughts on his late show replacement and future plans
Learn what is next for Stephen Colbert as he prepares to sign off soon
After years of leading The Late Show, Stephen Colbert is officially preparing to sign off on May 21. In a recent interview, he opened up about his successor, Byron Allen, whose show Comics Unleashed will take over the iconic 11:35 PM time slot. Colbert expressed genuine excitement for Allen, noting the historic significance of a Black host leading a major network in that late-night window.
As for his life after the final curtain call, Colbert isn’t slowing down. While he jokingly claimed to be the next James Bond, his real post-show plans are equally impressive. A longtime Lord of the Rings superfan, he is currently scripting a new film in the franchise and looking forward to returning to his roots as an actor and writer. Between family milestones and a newfound goal to get "ripped" in the gym, Colbert’s next chapter promises to be just as entertaining as his time behind the desk.
