Jennifer Aniston Puts Stephen Colbert Through On‑Air Morning Show Audition as His Late Show Winds Down

Aniston said the Apple TV+ drama is eyeing a fifth season with preliminary casting underway.

Overview

  • During the Sept. 11 Late Show, Aniston handed Colbert a script and taped a mock audition for a fictional UBN weatherman named Jeremiah Cloudson‑Storm.
  • Aniston noted she is hoping for a fifth season of The Morning Show and described the process as preliminary, with no renewal announced.
  • Colbert joked he will be free starting June 2026 when CBS ends The Late Show, a move the network framed as a financial decision that has drawn high‑profile support for him.
  • Apple TV+ is set to premiere the new season of The Morning Show on Sept. 17, with Marion Cotillard, Aaron Pierre, and Jeremy Irons joining the cast.
  • Colbert recalled a failed Friends audition years ago, and the Late Show bit closed with a joking attempted kiss that Aniston stopped as off‑script.
