The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May, but the host is already looking for new jobs.
Colbert, currently on a short summer break, joked that he’s waiting for calls from Netflix and Amazon after CBS suddenly canceled the famous late-night show.
This happened after President Trump once again criticized late-night hosts from the White House.
Colbert has no talent, Fallon has no talent, Kimmel has no talent, they’re next, I hear they’re going to be going. I don’t know but I would imagine because you know Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon, you know that? I knew that. To be fair, I think we’re all equally untalented. I just want to say thank you for watching, sir, and thank you for agreeing to be in our new promo.
the President said this week., Later colbert replied
Stephen Colbert is number one in late-night, just ask our elderly viewers. Netflix, call me I’m available in June. I will also entertain offers from Amazon.
The promo read, Then came a Still Canceled sign, After making a joke about JD Vance and his holidays, he said
Colbert may have been joking, but it will be interesting to see what he does after The Late Show. One option could be making a show for a streaming service, like David Letterman’s late-career return with My Next Guest Needs No Introduction on Netflix or Conan O’Brien’s travel series on HBO Max.
