Stephen Colbert addressed multiple rumors about his next move on Tuesday during an appearance on fellow late-night host Seth Meyers' show, including one about running for office, possibly the presidency.

Meyers brought up the rumor about Colbert running for office after noting the others, which included a $13.5 million deal with Netflix, which Colbert quipped was "not enough money."

"Obviously, I mean, that’s something I have to discuss with my faith leader and my family," Colbert said. "And if there is some way for me to serve the American people in some way that could possibly be greater than a late-night television show, I would consider that."

He said he heard the rumor and added, "I get it."

He prefaced the conversation by telling Meyers he was neither going to confirm nor deny the rumors.

Another rumor, according to Meyers, was that Colbert was going to start a show with MS NOW host Rachel Maddow, Tom Hanks, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett and Simon Cowell.

Meyers called the group the "new A-team."

CBS announced in July that it would be ending Colbert's show in May 2026.

CBS said it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night."

Colbert revealed on Meyers' show that the final episode will be May 21, 2026.

Meyers told Colbert he was sad that his show was ending toward the end of their discussion and thanked him.
