As Stephen Colbert wraps up his tenure on 'The Late Show' by May 2026, speculation swirls about his next move. During a recent appearance by actor Josh Brolin on the show, a playful job offer was extended. Brolin jestingly invited Colbert to be his personal assistant, a role Colbert humorously downplayed.
"I bet that's a real easy job," Colbert quipped. "No calls in the middle of the night complaining about why the steam room isn't working from Josh Brolin." Brolin also shared details of a recent motorcycle trip, prompting Colbert to inquire about joining. Brolin replied Colbert would need to adopt a biker hairstyle.
Looking to the future, Colbert joked about getting fit post-show, mentioning whimsical plans to use a "fat shot drug" and consume excessive protein. With 'The Late Show' ending due to a tough TV market, there are speculations about potential political implications and the CBS-Paramount Global merger, though CBS denies such motivations.
