Five months after winning big at the 2022 Grammys, Jon Batiste is stepping away from his post as bandleader for Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show.”
Colbert announced the news during Thursday night’s show. Although Batiste wasn’t in attendance, Colbert talked up his contributions.
“Sharp-eyed viewers may have noticed that Jon hasn’t been here this summer,” Colbert said. “I have an update: Jon has decided to leave the show.”
