Given that his #1 ranked show has been canceled, what's next for Stephen Colbert? I think he's really funny guy and yeah I understand the politics of it but feel like he's got a place still somewhere.
So what's next?

Stephen Colbert has teased the idea of starting a podcast following the cancellation of *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*, which is set to end in May 2026 after a 10-season run. During the July 28, 2025, episode of his show, Colbert jokingly asked *Las Culturistas* podcast hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers to "sell" him on podcasting, saying, "I’m going to need a gig soon, so sell me on podcasting. Is it fun?" Yang pitched a podcast concept involving Colbert and his wife, Evelyn "Evie" McGee-Colbert, recapping dates, which Colbert playfully engaged with. The duo even humorously presented him with a "Best Future Podcaster" award. While these interactions were lighthearted, they suggest Colbert is at least considering podcasting as a potential next step.[](https://theblast.com/708312/stephen-colbert-next-project-late-show-cancellation/)[](https://people.com/stephen-colbert-teases-possible-new-career-path-for-after-the-late-show-ends-11780750)[](https://www.eonline.com/news/1420472/stephen-colbert-teases-new-job-after-late-show-canceled)
However, no official confirmation has been made about Colbert launching a podcast. He has also explored other opportunities, such as a guest role on the CBS series *Elsbeth*, where he’ll play a late-night talk show host, indicating he’s keeping his options open. Additionally, posts on X and comments from figures like Jon Batiste suggest Colbert is likely to pursue new projects where he can continue to engage audiences, with podcasting being a plausible avenue given its rising popularity and his expressed interest.[](https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/stephen-colberts-next-move-revealed-after-the-late-show-ends/)[](https://www.tvinsider.com/1206905/stephen-colbert-new-job-elsbeth-late-show-cancellation/)
In summary, while Colbert has not confirmed plans for a podcast, his discussions on *The Late Show* and the current media landscape make it a strong possibility. He appears to be exploring multiple paths, including acting and potentially streaming or digital media.[](https://ew.com/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert-not-on-this-week-return-date-11787829)[](https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/whats-next-for-stephen-colbert-after-the-late-show-cancellation/)
