Is Stephen Colbert leaving his late show?
AFTER his satirical stint at Comedy Central ended in 2014, Stephen Colbert decided to join the late-night television slot with his CBS program The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
However, fans are beginning to wonder if Colbert is done with late-night television.
Is Stephen Colbert leaving his late show?
Despite speculation from fans about a departure, there is no confirmation or indication that the TV host will be walking away from his late show.
Nevertheless, Colbert teased a new venture into familiar territory during the July 19 edition of the Late Show.
In a cryptic video that looked a bit like a car commercial, Colbert teased a reappearance on Comedy Central later this year.
“Can you ever really go home again?” Colbert asked in a voiceover as a car is seen driving past a Welcome To sign, a state where Colbert grew up.
“Or do you have to build your own home?”
The footage shows Colbert looking confused, as the overhead shots of tree-lined roads make the video look like an advertisement for a luxury sedan.
The video continues as Colbert admits he doesn’t know where he is.
So he asks someone off-camera for directions.
“Where the hell am I?” he says before on-screen wording says that Colbert is “coming home” to Comedy Central in the fall.
When did Stephen Colbert work at Comedy Central?
Colbert has a long history with the Comedy Central network.
He first made a name for himself as a correspondent on The Daily Show before spinning off his character into a Fox News-spoofing Colbert Report.
That led, of course, to his taking over the Ed Sullivan Theater for CBS’s late-night program after David Letterman retired.
Whether Colbert is doing a new show with the network or simply repurposing Late Night is unclear right now.
