Stephen Colbert is reportedly set to make his way to a new, fictional late night home following CBS ’s shock decision to cancel “ The Late Show ” next year. Colbert is expected to guest star on CBS’s police procedural dramedy “ Elsbeth ,” a spinoff of “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” according to Vulture.

Critics, however, have called out the timing of the announcement, which came in the same month that Paramount Global, the parent company of Colbert's network, agreed to pay $16 million to President Donald Trump over an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired on 60 Minutes in November.

Jimmy Kimmel rents a West Hollywood billboard reading "I'm voting for Stephen" in support of Stephen Colbert's canceled Late Show, for Emmys campaign.
