the series finale of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air Thursday, May 21.

Such a shame, but I look forward to whatever Colbert does next.

Show threadDrusasJan 27
I mostly hope he stays active and doesn't take an extended hiatus or move away from political content.
Show threadMimicJarJan 27

In recent interviews he’s said he knows what he wants to do next, but doesn’t want to say. I expect he’ll take a little while off and shift more into acting, possibly stage acting, but that’s just a guess.

I think he’ll avoid politics for a little while, at least until Trump is gone.

Show threadwonderingwandererJan 28
Colbert 2028, perhaps?
Show threadacosmichippoJan 27
Colbert Report return please.
Show threadSharkticonJan 27
How would that even look under the current climate? I honestly can’t imagine. I don’t think he’d be comfortable being as cruel and vitriolic as you have to be to play the role these days.
Show threadanomnomJan 27

Yeah the punch line “so we murdered them” isn’t going to work.

Nothing the Nazis are doing right now is funny.

Colbert as UberGruppenFuhrer.

Show threadgnuplusmattJan 28

I honestly can’t imagine he brought the character back for a skit just recently

Show threadDrusasJan 29
And it was great.
Show threada_non_monotonic_functionJan 28
Man, I want him to just start a YouTube channel. Give that s*** away.
Show threadwonderingwandererJan 28
And publish to peertube to support the fediverse
Show threada_non_monotonic_functionJan 28
Yes.
Show threadTinidrilJan 27

whatever Colbert does next.

Jon Stewart’s running mate?

Show threadohulancutashJan 27
Its like some americans never learn.
Show threadTinidrilJan 27
It’s a joke. Get over yourself.
Show threadAngryCommieKenderJan 27
That would be the biggest landslide election in history.
Show threaditerableJan 27
Good to know so I can cancel my Paramount+ that day
Show threadSaveTheTuaHawkJan 27
But you’ll miss Star Fleet academy!
Show threadikiddJan 28
Stop threatening me with a good time.
Show threadSpacehooksJan 28
Yar
Show threaditerableJan 28
After first episode unless I see Nahla being arrested for war crimes I aint going to miss it…
Show threadPunnyNameJan 28
Why not cancel it at the beginning of the month?
Show threaditerableJan 28
Cause doing on that day send more of a message. Watch the show then cancel.
Show threadNigelFrobisherJan 27
It’s not late, it’s just pining for the fjords.
Show threadaltphotoJan 27
But some times folks, he likes to just pick up a bunch of discarded news print from the back of a McDonald’s public toilet and then redact them properly leaving only the correct amount of numbers to declare a date… Meanwhile!
Show threadKatherine 🪴Jan 27
Please Sam bring Colbert to Dropout.
Show threadportiforniaJan 28
I mean, that would be glorious. But there’s no way in hell he could afford Colbert.
Show threadremonJan 27
Why does it have to be Colbert? Take one of the unfunny Jimmies instead!
Show threadSaveTheTuaHawkJan 27
or Seth Meyers…yes, he’s still on the air.
Show threadremonJan 27
I kind of like him. Though I pretty much only watch a closer look and corrections.
Show threadMimicJarJan 27

Corrections is a gem and Closer Look is excellent. He also has some fun reoccurring sketches like “Leave Him Alone” guy starring Lutz and “Jokes Seth Can’t Say”. He’s also a fun interviewer, much more loose and relaxed.

Long way of saying after Colbert he’s my #1 in late night.

Show threadFenrirIIIJan 31
Seth is a great interviewer because he seems to know a lot of his guests on a personal level. It’s much more interesting than the usual “We’re shilling a product” interview
Show threadikiddJan 28
Meyers is funny as hell. I’d take him over Colbert. His hatred of the administration is honest and pure.
Show threada_non_monotonic_functionJan 28

Kimmel. There is nothing funny or entertaining about that dude.

As a matter of fact, when Trump’s people went after him I got really pissed. I want him to be canceled because he’s a shit entertainer. Not because he says something about Trump.

Show threadDoucheBagMcSwagJan 27
Can’t believe no network has picked him up yet
Show threadScrubblesJan 27
I can’t believe that he doesn’t have something planned for after
Show threadTemplaerDudeJan 28
None of those cuckly fascist lovers want anyone even remotely critical of the fuhrer on their networks
Show threadbakaJan 27
Go ahead, idc, but do something like run for Congress or President
