Stephen Colbert’s days as the host of “The Late Show” might be numbered, but he already has at least one gig to take up his time and help keep the cash coming in.

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 “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.” The new trailer for the show was also shown along with its release date.

“Folks, I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you in person today, but I’m a perfectionist, and I just didn’t have enough bunting for my Mugato cosplay,” Colbert said. “However, nothing could stop me from sharing this exciting news; I’m honored to announce that my beautiful voice will be joining ‘Star Trek” Starfleet Academy’ as the Digital Dean of Students.

“I’m thrilled to join this universe that I’ve loved for so long, and unlike my on-camera castmates, I’m thrilled to join it without having to spend four hours in hair and makeup every day. I’ll see you when Starfleet Academy premieres. Until then, enjoy the Con. Live long … and do your thing.”

Deadline reported that the first two episodes of the new series are slated to premiere on Jan. 15 on Paramount+. The outlet said the new series will introduce viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism.

Deadline reported that Colbert is also slated to have a role on Season 3 of CBS’ Elsbeth.
