Now that Stephen Colbert’s famous late-night talk show is coming to an end, questions are already being raised about what he will do next. It seems that Josh Brolin has something figured out for the host. In his recent appearance on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Brolin offered Colbert an opportunity regarding his next gig.
Josh Brolin offers Stephen Colbert a job
Josh Brolin appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night, and the conversation inevitably turned to the aftermath of Colbert’s exit from the CBS show. Most viewers know that Colbert’s show was canceled, allegedly due to political pressure. The cancellation came after he made comments about the President.
The show will conclude in May 2026, after which Colbert will be available for other work. During his appearance, Brolin offered Colbert a different job, suggesting he should become Brolin’s personal assistant. He further noted that he was not high maintenance, so it would be an easy job for Colbert.
Colbert humorously replied, “You know what, Josh Brolin, I bet that’s a real easy job.” He added, “No calls in the middle of the night complaining about why the steam room isn’t working from Josh Brolin.” Colbert then proceeded to accept the offer, saying, “I’m in, man.”
In a different segment, Colbert asked Brolin how to get invited to one of his motorcycle trips. Brolin responded that he could start by messing up his hair. The talk show host replied, “After May, I’m going to get so cut. I’m going to do the fat shot drug. And I’m going to get super cut. I’m going to do nothing but protein … eat 16 chickens a day.”
Colbert and Brolin displayed strong on-screen chemistry throughout the segment, making it one of the most engaging in recent weeks.
