Disgraced ‘comedian’ Stephen Colbert is getting quite a job downgrade after losing his late-night show last month.
As Vulture reported, Colbert is having to settle for a guest ‘star’ turn on CBS’s popular dramedy, Elsbeth, which stars actress Carrie Preston. He will appear as the host of a late-night talk show called Way Late with Scotty Bristol.
The outlet notes that it’s unclear when Colbert agreed to ‘star’ in the “The Good Wife” spinoff, but he told Elsbeth co-star Wendell Pierce on The Late Show in February that he wanted to appear on the show at some point. Pierce said he would try to make it happen.
In a karmic twist of fate, he may appear as a corpse, presumably after his character is killed on the show. If this happens, Colbert only has himself to blame because he said that was his ‘dream’ role on Elsbeth.
It’s also possible he appears as the murderer or a suspect.
Vulture reveals that it’s likely Colbert will appear in the third season opener of the Preston–led series. It is scheduled to premiere on a special night — Sunday, October 12, in contrast to its usual Thursday night airing.
This is reportedly to take advantage of an NFL Sunday lead-in.
This isn’t how television works. This is clearly a cameo he filmed months ago. They wouldn’t cancel his show, then immediately ask him to guest star on one of their series.
