Julia Louis-Dreyfus appears on Stephen Colbert’s CBS late-night program, “The Late Show,” for an interview tied to her new movie, “The Sheep Detectives.” Multiple reports say the segment also becomes a final-style stop ahead of the franchise ending on Thursday, May 21. During the appearance, Louis-Dreyfus channels her “Veep” character Selina Meyer, using the persona to deliver a series of jokes directly to Colbert.
According to the accounts, her remarks include a line comparing Colbert’s “cancellation” to Donald Trump’s reaction, and she likens Colbert to “Stormy Daniels of late night.” The outlets describe the exchange as a “ruthless” or sharp roast that draws on the “Veep” character’s political and antagonistic comedic style. The reports do not indicate any dispute or controversy beyond the comedic framing. The interview is presented as entertainment that blends Louis-Dreyfus’s established television role with her promotional appearance before Colbert’s show concludes.
