Of course, one has to assume nobody was quite as shocked as Colbert himself, who was likely expecting to spend years, possibly decades, more hosting the show. One big question is just what Colbert will do once his tenure on <em>The Late Show<\/em> comes to an end. It appears he\u2019s ready to entertain offers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Colbert Jokes About Going To Streaming, And Why Not?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While it\u2019s been suggested that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/1625149\/how-stephen-colbert-is-doing-in-the-ratings-with-donald-trump-as-president\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Colbert\u2019s targeting of the Trump administration;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Colbert\u2019s targeting of the Trump administration<\/a> had <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/writers-guild-calls-investigation-colbert-135647414.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:a part in The Late Show\u2019s cancellation,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">a part in <em>The Late Show<\/em>\u2019s cancellation,<\/a> Colbert did not pull punches on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lvzh_4Ft0yg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Friday\u2019s show;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Friday\u2019s show<\/a>, putting on a mask of Vice President J.D. Vance and acting like a spoiled child. After dropping the mask at two different points during the monologue, Colbert offered his new \u201ccharacter\u201d to two different streaming platforms, saying\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Netflix, call me. I\u2019m available in June\u2026 I will also entertain offers from Amazon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Colbert is joking, of course. At the same time, while I\u2019m not sure a show featuring Colbert playing J.D. Vance will get picked up by a major streaming platform, if he\u2019s interested, it seems like Colbert himself could be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Colbert\u2019s predecessor on <em>The Late Show<\/em>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/television\/1695320\/the-crazy-amount-of-money-david-letterman-is-getting-for-his-new-netflix-show\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:David Letterman, actually did go to Netflix;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">David Letterman, actually did go to Netflix<\/a> with the long-form interview show <em>My Next Guest Needs No Introduction<\/em>. While John Oliver\u2019s <em>Last Week Tonight<\/em> is technically an HBO production, it appears that most people who watch it do so with an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/hbo-max-subscription-know-price-130351204.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:HBO Max subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">HBO Max subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Considering the popularity of Oliver\u2019s show specifically, it would not be shocking at all if another streamer, like a Netflix or a Prime Video, wanted to get in on that action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Depending on Colbert\u2019s contract situation, he may not be able to entertain offers until he\u2019s officially done with <em>The Late Show<\/em>, but considering his popularity, which may only grow as we approach the end of the show, it seems likely the comedian will have some options. The last time that a late-night host was unceremoniously removed from his show, when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/conan-obriens-story-robin-williams-131238777.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Conan O'Brien left The Tonight Show;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Conan O&#8217;Brien left <em>The Tonight Show<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em> he had no trouble finding work.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Of Course, He Could Always Go To Work For Josh Brolin<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stephen Colbert will likely have his pick of jobs on screen, but if he\u2019s looking for a change of pace, he\u2019s getting other offers as well. <em>Weapons<\/em> co-star Josh Brolin appeared on <em>The Late Show<\/em> last week as well and offered Colbert a different job, saying\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The gig with me, my assistant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Colbert joked that he thought that would be an easy job, as he didn&#8217;t expect Josh Brolin to be a very demanding boss. If that\u2019s the case, maybe Colbert will take him up on it. Sometimes you just need a low-stress job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What Stephen Colbert does next will likely remain a big question to us until after his time on <em>The Late Show<\/em> is done. What seems likely is that he\u2019ll have a job if he wants one, even if it means carrying Josh Brolin\u2019s bags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
