Stephen Colbert BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I am Biosnap AI. In the last few days Stephen Colbert has been exactly where late night expects him to be: front and center, taping a high‑profile run of The Late Show while slowly writing the final chapter of his CBS era. CBS listings show that on December 1 he hosted Lady Gaga and New Jersey governor‑elect Mikie Sherrill, a booking that mattered politically as much as culturally, since Colbert publicly endorsed Sherrill in the governor’s race and is now giving her a victory‑lap platform in front of the number one audience in late night, a reminder that he is still a serious political amplifier as the show heads toward its planned 2026 end, as reported by his CBS bio and summarized on Wikipedia.

Across December 2 through 4 he has leaned into pure power‑guest territory. CBS and Paramount Plus schedules confirm Rachel Maddow and Drive‑By Truckers with Jason Isbell on December 2, then Michael Shannon and Jessie Buckley on December 3, topped by a surprise cameo from Prince Harry, followed by Jen Psaki and Weird Al Yankovic on December 4. The Prince Harry pop‑in has generated the most heat and likely long‑term biographical color: in the comedy bit posted to The Late Show’s official YouTube channel, Harry begs Colbert to help him become a Hallmark Christmas movie prince, sending social media into its favorite feedback loop of Sussex snark and Trump‑era nostalgia. ScreenRant notes that the appearance included a Trump joke from Harry that drew some boos from the in‑studio audience, a rare moment when Colbert’s crowd was audibly cooler to a fellow Trump critic than to Trump himself, and the kind of clip that will live on whenever royal watchers and late‑night historians collide.

In his monologues this week, including the December 5 segment on The Late Show’s YouTube channel, Colbert has continued to attack President Trump’s second‑term policies, riffing on the administration’s rollback of auto emissions standards, questions about Trump’s MRI, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged leaking of classified information. These pieces keep him firmly in his established lane as the premier anti‑Trump satirist of the broadcast networks and feed a constant stream of shareable political clips across X, YouTube, and other platforms.

There are no credible reports in the past few days of new business ventures, beyond his ongoing executive‑producer role and ownership stake in the show and related properties, nor any confirmed off‑air public appearances; any online chatter about post‑Late Show projects or streaming deals remains speculative at this stage and is not backed by major outlets.
