Colbert Reveals ‘SNL’ Star Who Inspired His New Career Move

In deciding what he’ll do after The Late Show ends next month, Stephen Colbert decided to take a page out of Saturday Night Live alum Bill Hader’s book, he revealed.

“I’ll tell you, the person who did the thing I most admire, I mean, not most admire, but the thing that really struck me is, you know what Hader did when he left SNL? He went and wrote for South Park for a season,” Colbert told Smartless hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.
