Former Late Show host Stephen Colbert is set to make his return to late-night just four months after his show was canceled.
Colbert will appear as a guest on pal Jimmy Kimmel’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, September 15, according to LateNighter. His appearance will mark his first since saying goodbye in May.
The comedian signed off for the last time after CBS axed The Late Show after 33 years. Colbert sat at the host’s desk for 11 of those seasons.
Despite signing a five-year contract extension in 2023, CBS announced in July 2025 that they were pulling the plug on the series, claiming it was “purely a financial” decision.
“I do not dispute their rationale,” Colbert told The New York Times in May. “I do make jokes about it. But I also completely understand why people would say (A) that doesn’t make sense to me and (B) that seems fishy to me, because the network did it to themselves by bending the knee to the Trump administration over a $20 billion, settled for $16 million, completely frivolous lawsuit.”
He continued, “It’s possible that two things can be true. Broadcast can be in trouble. They cannot monetize because of things like YouTube, because of the competition of streaming. They’ve got the books, and I do not have any desire to debate them over what they say their business model is and how it does not work for them anymore. But less than two years before they called to say it’s over, they were very eager for me to be signed for a long time. So, something changed.”
Colbert’s appearance on Kimmel is set for one night after he and Kimmel go head-to-head for Outstanding Variety Series at the 78th Emmy Awards on Monday, September 14.
