“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert played a murdered talk show host in the quirky detective series “Elsbeth.”<\/p>\n

Colbert announced to his audience in July that CBS cancelling his show<\/a> in spring 2026. The show\u2019s cancellation follows the network and its parent company\u2019s settlement with President Donald Trump over the summer after he sued both for “election interference” over a “60 Minutes” interview edit of his 2024 opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

But the talk show host is generating new headlines this week for appearing in “Elsbeth’s” season 3 premiere. Colbert portrayed the eponymous late night talk show host<\/a> of “Way Late with Scotty Bristol,” who is murdered by his executive producer.<\/p>\n

According to IMDb, “Elsbeth,” focuses on an “Astute but unconventional attorney Elsbeth Tascioni utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.”<\/p>\n

With recent controversies about late-night talk shows ranging from the cancellation of Colbert\u2019s show to the brief suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”<\/a> some, like culture writer Emma Fraser wrote in the Daily Beast that one “might be under the impression that showrunner Jonathan Tolins is taking a ripped-from-the-headlines approach to the popular series.”<\/p>\n

However, the truth is more complicated, as showrunner Tolins reportedly wrote the episode before Colbert announced his show was being shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The first thing that he [Colbert] said to me was, \u2018Wow, everybody\u2019s gonna think that the Elsbeth writers have the biggest balls in Hollywood,\u2019” Carrie Preston, who plays the titular character, told The Daily Beast.<\/a><\/p>\n

But while Colbert plays a talk show host who is literally killed, the character he plays is one that does not appear to be based on himself.<\/p>\n

“Scotty isn\u2019t the kindest TV star or boss, which is why his executive producer, Laurel (Amy Sedaris), turns a paper shredder into a murder weapon,” Fraser wrote.<\/p>\n

“Although they have the same job, Scotty Bristol is not the loving, accepting, wonderful, and welcoming person that Stephen Colbert is,” Preston said.<\/p>\n
