Stephen Colbert appeared on behalf of his CBS late-night show during Deadline’s Contenders Television all-day awards-season event and admitted he was eager to get back to having an audience for his hit series, which has been essentially shooting from a storage closet at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York.
“It’s literally an old storage room. It’s a little storage room that we serendipitously five years ago wired to the control room, which itself is hardwired under the streets of Manhattan to the broadcast center in case we ever wanted another sort of performance space,” Colbert told me during his portion of CBS Studios’ Contenders presentation. “So, we lucked out, but that being said, like any cable access studio is a more welcoming environment than that room I’m in right now. It’s like [a] super-low drop ceiling. It’s me and two other guys. The cameras are all robotic.
