CBS Entertainment CBS essentially fired Stephen Colbert when the network canceled The Late Show, but the comedian isn't hurting for work. He already has a new late-night gig lined up - with a caveat. According to TheWrap, Colbert will guest star on Elsbeth playing a fictional late-night host named Scotty Bristol who hosts a show called Way Late With Scotty Bristol. The spinoff of The Good Wife and The Good Fight stars Carrie Preston as crime solver Elsbeth Tascioni. It's unclear how Colbert's character will factor into the plot.
