Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show" has taken home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Series for 2024, marking the show's final season before its cancellation. The award was presented in recognition of the show's work during its last run, which concluded in May. The show, which aired on CBS, has been a staple of late-night television since its debut in 2022, though Colbert had previously hosted "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014. During the Emmy ceremony, Colbert expressed gratitude to the audience and his team, saying, "I want to thank so many people in this room. Over the last 21 years, I've interviewed at least a thousand of you." His remarks reflected on his long career in television, which spans both his time as a guest and as a host. The win makes "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" the only show in the Outstanding Variety Series category to take home an Emmy this year. The category typically includes late-night talk shows and variety programs that feature a mix of comedy, music, and guest interviews. Colbert's show was known for its sharp humor, political satire, and high production values, which likely contributed to its recognition. As the show concludes its run, the Emmy win serves as a fitting tribute to its impact on late-night television and its role in shaping the landscape of comedy and news commentary over the past few years.
