Stephen Colbert is going to keep us company for many more nights to come.
The Late Show host has signed a new contract with CBS, meaning he will continue to sit in his chair for another four years.
Colbert became a regular on late-night in September 2015 when he took over from David Letterman, following his Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report, which ran from 2005 until 2014.
“Stephen Colbert is one of the most entertaining, influential and relevant voices in America today,” said David Nevins, Chief Creative Officer, CBS Corporation, chairman and CEO, Showtime Networks, Inc. “His monologue has become a vibrant part of the national discussion, and a spot on Stephen’s couch places guests from the worlds of entertainment, news and politics in front of late night’s largest and most desirable audience. We’re incredibly proud of the broadcast and thrilled to extend our relationship with Stephen for years to come.”
Colbert’s new contract runs until August 2023.
