Stephen Colbert Is on a 'Full-Time' Job After Emmy Win
- On Tuesday, Stephen Colbert appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, marking his first late-night television appearance since CBS cancelled The Late Show in May 2026.
- Monday's 78th Primetime Emmy Awards saw The Late Show win seven awards, including Outstanding Variety Series, for the show's final season that ended in May.

- The former host is currently writing The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past with son Peter McGee and trilogy writer Philippa Boyens, remaining "very busy" on the project.
- Despite stepping away from daily news, Colbert insisted late-night television is "alive and well," jokingly noting he no longer has to "drink a cup of poison" every night.
