As The Late Show with Stephen Colbert nears its finale, viewers wonder what's next for the longtime host. After 11 years in late-night television, Colbert is stepping down to focus on other ambitions.
Colbert hints at future creative projects, including a potential screen project, and joked about rumors surrounding his future, from moving to CNN to running for president.
For now, he's focused on spending time with family, including his brother's wedding in Washington, D.C., and celebrating his son's graduation.
Reports also link Colbert to a new project connected to The Lord of the Rings, a franchise he's openly admired for years, collaborating with filmmaker Peter Jackson and writer Philippa Boyens.
