After CBS' shocking cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show," the comedian is set to play a late-night host elsewhere on the network.

The post Stephen Colbert to Guest Star as Fictional Late Night Host on CBS Crime Series 'Elsbeth' appeared first on TheWrap. Stephen Colbert may be saying goodbye to "The Late Show" next year — though not by choice — but before he does that, he'll have an entirely new late night talk show on CBS. Well, kind of.

Entertainment Weekly has learned that Colbert is set to guest-star in a season 3 episode of the murder mystery series. Colbert's character will host the fictional show, Way Late with Scotty Bristol, according to Vulture, which first reported the news.
