IT'S A WRAP

Stephen Colbert Reveals Whether He’s Planned Next Career Move

“I want to land this plane,” Colbert said as he reflected on the ending of “The Late Show.”

Stephen Colbert, longtime host of The Late Show, addressed his future after the show wraps in May. Colbert joked in an interview with People at the Emmy Awards on Sunday that he hasn’t begun the job hunt after his show was canceled over the summer. “I haven’t had a chance to update my headshot in a bit, but I think it still works,” he quipped. For now, he said, his focus remains on the show’s final months. “I’m going to savor every day of it. I want to land this plane absolutely beautifully. And I’ve got nothing else on my mind,” he said. Colbert received a standing ovation at the award show after The Late Show took home an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series. In Colbert’s acceptance speech, he thanked his team and shared that moments he is most grateful for “are the days when we don’t think we’ve got anything.”
