After CBS' shocking cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "Late Show," the comedian is set to play a late-night host elsewhere on the network.

Stephen Colbert is making the leap to a different kind of late-night show, as sources confirm that the host and comedian will appear as a guest star in the upcoming third season of Elsbeth.

Elsbeth, starring Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson, is a murder-of-the-week show. It follows astute but unconventional attorney Elsbeth Tascioni (Preston), who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.
