Article Summary

  • Stephen Colbert is reportedly set to guest star in CBS's Elsbeth Season 3.
  • The hit series returns with a special episode on CBS in October before moving to Thursdays.
  • Production is underway, with Carrie Preston returning as the unconventional Elsbeth Tascioni.
  • CBS Fall Premiere Week includes new seasons of Matlock, Ghosts, Fire Country, and the debut of Sheriff Country.

With production on the third season of CBS and Robert King & Michelle King's Carrie Preston-starring Elsbeth underway ahead of its special season premiere in October (more on that in a minute), it appears late-night host Stephen Colbert will be getting a chance to sneak in some screen time before the network shuts down The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for good. Deadline Hollywood is reporting (with Vulture first reporting) that Colbert's guest-starring role (which reportedly filmed this week) will see him playing the host of the fictional Way Late with Scotty Bristol. However, CBS declined to comment on the reporting.
