Stephen Colbert's new gig revealed following ‘The Late Show' cancellation: report
Stephen Colbert has reportedly already secured his next gig following the recent cancellation of 'The Late Show.' The comedian, 61, is staying put in the world of late-night after signing on as a guest star in the CBS series 'Elsbeth,' Vulture reports. Colbert will portray a late-night talk show host in the comedy series, which made its debut last summer. 4 Stephen Colbert has reportedly already secured his next gig following the recent cancellation of 'The Late Show.' Scott Kowalchyk/CBS He will play the host of the fictional show, 'Way Late with Scotty Bristol,' in the network's spin-off of the hit series, 'The Good Wife.' Production had commenced last week in NYC, and according to the outlet, the episode was 'almost surely planned' before news that his format was axed by CBS came to light. Colbert's new TV gig comes months after 'Elsbeth' star Wendell Pierce appeared on the 'Late Show' in February, during which Colbert mentioned that he wanted to appear on the series. In response, Pierce said that he could potentially 'make that happen.' The Post has reached out to CBS and Colbert's reps for comment. 4 The comedian, 61, is staying put in the world of late-night after signing on as a guest star in the CBS series 'Elsbeth.'

'We get to do this show for each other, every day, all day, and I've had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years,' he went on. 'And it's a job that I'm looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months. It's going to be fun.' 4 Wendell Pierce, who stars in 'Elsbeth,' promised to get Colbert a guest star spot on the CBS series. Michael Parmelee/CBS The network has publicly cited financial reasons behind the decision to cancel the show. The cancellation has since prompted a slew of comedy's biggest stars — including David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Adam Sandler and more — to speak out in support of the host.

I'm Rethinking Amusement Park Rides for Good After Watching Netflix's 'Critical' Docuseries
Each week, Netflix releases a list of the Top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of July 21, the new original docuseries Critical: Between Life and Death made a big impression on viewers, ranking No. 7 in the platform's most-watched shows. While medical shows -- including series like The Pitt, Pulse and ER -- have always been popular, Critical is an unscripted documentary that depicts real-life emergencies as they're happening. What makes it so captivating is the intensity and high stakes of these situations, and there's no shying away from the blood, open wounds and emotionally distraught patients and their friends and family here. Interestingly, the show fell out of the Top 10 pretty quickly -- after its first week, it dropped. That's not to say it's not popular, but my personal theory is that it has proven a little too intense for some people. That was my reaction, anyway. After a couple of episodes, I couldn't keep pace with all the grim, traumatic events. In fact, I'm shocked I kept watching after the first episode, which featured four people getting thrown from or crushed by a malfunctioning amusement park ride. Being that this is the height of summer and there's a Six Flags nearby that my kids and I frequent regularly, this is not what I wanted to see, and seeing this real incident unfold may have turned me off of fairs and amusement parks for good. I can't be the only person who gets a nagging feeling any time I board any kind of thrill ride that something terrible could happen, that I'm an accomplice to my own Final Destination death scene and here it is, proof that those fears -- while obviously not common -- can come true. The episode depicts the hospital call centers that are first notified of the ride collapse, and we witness ambulances, helicopters and emergency responders dispatched to the scene, later returning with their patients, most of whom are unresponsive. As the four patients injured at the funfair (as it's referred to on the show) are sent to several trauma centers around London, 40 cameras follow them and the health professionals who are helping them. We're given a front row seat to all of their treatments as their bodies are cut open, scans are taken and they're assessed for physical and neurological damage. I'm someone who gets grossed out by Dr. Pimple Popper videos, so there were several moments while watching this show where I had to look away. (Spoiler alert: The patients do get an epilogue of sorts where we learn that all of them not only survived but are back to leading healthy, relatively normal lives.) Netflix The show does address the fact that 50% of calls to the trauma centers in London are because of violence; accidents such as this one are much less common. And yet even with that in mind, I will panic forever at the idea that the giant spinner ride at the fair is going to dislodge and become a flying projectile. Critical: Between Life and Death is a remarkable show for just how close the filmmakers are allowed to get to such life-threatening action but watching the show made me realize some fears I didn't even know I had. At least while watching The Pitt, there was a sense of relief that it wasn't real. Here, there's no such comfort.
