It's been a couple of months since The Late Show with Stephen Colbert scored multiple Emmy nominations (following its surprise cancellation), and folks have been wondering what’s next for the comedian. Well, the Strangers With Candy veteran has revealed that his next adventure will be among the stars —literally. Late-night TV loss is about to be Starfleet’s win, as the former Daily Show star just landed another post-Late Show cancellation gig. And I think Star Trek fans are going to be pretty pumped.
Via a pre-recorded video message to fans during New York Comic Con, Stephen Colbert announced that he’ll be joining the streaming schedule, thanks to a role in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the highly anticipated series for anyone with a Paramount+ subscription, set within the Star Trek universe. The video was later posted to the official Late Show and Paramount YouTube channels, but you can watch it for yourself below.
