In a surprise announcement that no one saw coming, veteran comedian Stephen Colbert revealed that he’s launching a brand-new talk show. But this isn’t just any show: he’s teaming up with rising internet sensation and political voice Jasmine Crockett. The declaration came just weeks after CBS made the controversial decision to drop Colbert from The Late Show, a move that left fans and industry insiders questioning the network’s judgment.
