Oscar Winner Jamie Lee Curtis to Appear on "The Late Show" Before Series Ends in 2026

Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis is preparing to make her first-ever appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in the next two weeks. This comes as the popular late-night talk show is set to end its run in 2026, a decision that Curtis has described as "awful."

Curtis, who recently received another Emmy nomination for her role in the critically acclaimed series "The Bear," is looking forward to her upcoming appearance on Colbert's show. She has expressed her admiration for the host, calling him "smart and funny and a lovely human."

The news of "The Late Show's" cancellation has sparked disappointment among other celebrities, including Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, who have voiced their frustration on social media. Colbert's late-night rival, Jimmy Kimmel, also weighed in, writing on Instagram, "Love you, Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons, CBS."

As Curtis prepares for her "Late Show" debut, she is also gearing up for the release of her upcoming Disney sequel, "Freakier Friday," which she describes as "a movie for today" - a "happy, nostalgic, funny, sweet, heartfelt" film that serves as a "love letter to every mother, grandma, sister, cousin and daughter."
