Stephen Colbert Shares Whether A 2028 Presidential Run Is In The Cards
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host said he understands why people want him to put on his campaign shoes.
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert just gave his two cents on whether he’ll run for president in 2028.
When asked about a presidential bid during Slate’s “Political Gabfest” 20th anniversary show, Colbert, 61, initially quipped that he “absolutely” shouldn’t give it a go.
“I understand why you’d want me to,” Colbert told the crowd, according to People magazine. “I’d have to discuss with my faith leader and my family to see if, once my service on the ‘Late Show’ ends in May, if I could be of some greater service to this nation that I love so much.”
Between “The Colbert Report” and the “Late Show,” Colbert has been a late-night fixture for over two decades. He is gearing up for the final months of his run at the CBS staple following the network’s shock decision to cancel the “Late Show” earlier this year.
The announcement arrived just days after Colbert mocked parent company Paramount for settling a lawsuit — widely seen as frivolous — with President Donald Trump. The settlement preceded Paramount’s merger with Skydance, which needed approval by the Trump-friendly head of the Federal Communications Commission.
