Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
With The Late Show ending this week, Stephen Colbert is being asked a lot of questions about what's next.Aside from co-writing a new Lord of the Rings movie, though, he did have one idea which he shared with the other late night hosts in the behind-the-scenes video above filmed after their group interview last week."I actually thought it would be fun to like, just take my show and go do it on OnlyFans," says Colbert in the clip above. "It doesn't have to be porn, you don't have to take your clothes off. I mean I'd wear something revealing."Given that there are many OnlyFans creators who make a lot of money without nudity, he might be on to something.Want more of the best of late night?
