Back in February, Wendell Pierce was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the host told him he wanted to play a corpse on the police procedural. And the actor said he would make it happen.
Well, he did. According to Vulture, Colbert is going to play the host of Way Late with Scotty Bristol in that episode, which is filming now.
CBS has not confirmed his appearance, but Josef Adalian is speculating that it will be on the special season premiere that will air after an NFL game on October 12th.
The casting, which has been in the works for a while, is even more exciting because of the late night show’s cancellation a few weeks ago.
