I think he may go to Netflix in some manner but the most likely take is he will do a podcast. Thats where the listeners are these days anyway.

Iâm not sure why this has taken off (or their motivations for posting it), but thereâs nothing to suggest this is true.

Colbert previously joked on his show about developing a show for Netflix but I donât see anything real.
