Stephen Colbert Already Back on TV! Follows CBS Series Sign Off by Hosting Michigan Version of “Forever Fernwood” at Local Station (Watch)

Share

Stephen Colbert was already back on TV on Friday.

Hours after signing off his 11 year run on CBS, Colbert popped up as guest host of “Only in Monroe,” a local access show in Michigan.

He last hosted the same show in 2015, right before taking over “The Late Show.”

It’s like the real life version of “Forever Fernwood.” Hilarious.

Guests include actor Jeff Daniels and rocker Jack White.

There’s a lot of talk of hot dogs, and, of course, local news.

Maybe Stephen can book a full time job!
