“Folks, before we get started, I have a quick but exciting announcement,” Colbert said. “Tuesday, May 5, here on ‘The Late Show,’ in his first interview from the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, I will be sitting down with former President Barack Obama.”
Colbert on Thursday acknowledged all the theories about his post-“Late Show” plans, joking that they run the gamut from “I’m moving to celebrity.land to I’m announcing a massive wildlife rescue program to I’m running for president of the United States.”
While that latter theory prompted another round of cheers at the Ed Sullivan Theater, Colbert has already managed to snag his dream gig. The “Lord of the Rings” mega-fan revealed last month that he and his son are co-writing a feature film installment in the franchise.
Colbert couldn’t help but poke fun at the rumors, however, and joked, “I can tell you tonight, I can reveal right now, that all of those are partially true. Next year, I will be president of an animal sanctuary dedicated to caring for the rare Blitzer Wolf.”
The crowd lost it when an image appeared of Colbert bottle-feeding celebrity.land host Wolf Blitzer.
“The Late Show” episode featuring Obama airs 11:35 p.m. ET May 5 on CBS.
