Stephen Colbert may be saying goodbye to "The Late Show" next year — though not by choice — but before he does that, he'll have an entirely new late night talk show on CBS. Well, kind of. Colbert will guest star on an episode of the CBS series "Elsbeth" next season,

As Stephen Colbert prepares to bid farewell to 'The Late Show,' he's already booked a gig on the CBS drama 'Elsbeth,' where he'll play a late-night host.

Elsbeth, starring Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson, is a murder-of-the-week show. It follows astute but unconventional attorney Elsbeth Tascioni (Preston), who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.
