TVLine Items: Colbert Extends Late Show Deal, Bateman's New Series And More

Stephen Colbert is staying put at CBS, having extended his contract as host of The Late Show through 2026, our sister site Deadline reports.

Colbert's deal extension comes following the end of James Corden's run at The Late Late Show, which wrapped up April 27 on the Eye network. That late-night talker will reportedly be replaced in the 12:37 am timeslot by a reboot of Comedy Central's @midnight, executive-produced by Colbert. Former host Chris Hardwick is not attached.
