colbertlateshow just won its final Emmy, receiving the award for Outstanding Variety Series following the end of its 11-season run earlier this year. As Stephen Colbert told GQ in his 2025 Men of the Year cover, “I love what we do and I love the grind. You can only do one of these shows every night, year after year, for 20 years, if you give a damn at all about what you’re talking about. And I do. But there is a sense of relief that I might not have to put on the snorkel and get into the sewer every day.” Revisit the #GQMOTY profile at the link in bio, where Colbert reflects on how he learned about the cancellation of The Late Show and what comes after.
