It’s been almost three months since The Late Show took its final bow on the 2026 TV schedule, but Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show got in one last laugh. The series has been nominated for Outstanding Variety Series at the 2026 Emmy Awards, following The Late Show’s first-ever Emmy win last year. Now, CBS is pushing for its second Emmy win, but Jimmy Kimmel’s hopes for support came in vain.
Despite the premature cancellation, CBS is going all in with the campaign to make sure The Late Show brings home one last Emmy. So, a For Your Consideration video was posted on The Late Show’s YouTube channel, and it featured a compilation of interview moments, including some of Colbert's interactions with his fellow late-night hosts. The video also touches on the final episodes of The Late Show, as it pushes for one last Emmy win.
