Stephen Colbert's Real Feelings After The Late Show Revealed -- Source

Reports say Stephen Colbert has been affected by the cancellation of The Late Show and is keeping a low profile as he figures out what comes next. Sources cited by Naughty But Nice describe him as “frustrated,” arguing the program became part of his identity built over years rather than just another chat show. The alleged emotional impact was seen during his attendance at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding ceremony, where he was described as appearing in low spirits and staying low-key since production wrapped. At 62, Colbert is also involved as a writer in a Lord of the Rings project. While he previously said stepping down would give him time and energy for other goals, he indicated he will be “free starting this summer.” The report also says he intends to adapt the next LOTR film covering chapters three to eight of The Fellowship of the Ring.
