Stephen Colbert\u2019s days as the host of \u201cThe Late Show\u201d might be numbered, but he already has at least one gig to take up his time and help keep the cash coming in.<\/p>\n
Colbert, whose show is slated to end in May, made a virtual appearance at the New York Comic Con to reveal that he is voicing a role in \u201cStar Trek: Starfleet Academy.\u201d The new trailer for the show was also shown along with its release date. <\/p>\n
\u201cFolks, I\u2019m sorry I couldn\u2019t be with you in person today, but I\u2019m a perfectionist, and I just didn\u2019t have enough bunting for my Mugato cosplay,\u201d Colbert said. \u201cHowever, nothing could stop me from sharing this exciting news; I\u2019m honored to announce that my beautiful voice will be joining \u2018Star Trek\u201d Starfleet Academy\u2019 as the Digital Dean of Students.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to join this universe that I\u2019ve loved for so long, and unlike my on-camera castmates, I\u2019m thrilled to join it without having to spend four hours in hair and makeup every day. I\u2019ll see you when Starfleet Academy premieres. Until then, enjoy the Con. Live long \u2026 and do your thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
