Stephen Colbert has announced that Jon Batiste has departed his gig as the bandleader on The Late Show after seven seasons.
Jon, who has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and five Grammys during his tenure on the late night show, will be pursuing personal and professional interests.
“We’ve been so lucky to have a front row seat to Jon‘s incredible talent for the past seven years. And will we miss him here? ‘Yeaaa!’ But we’re happy for you, Jon, and I can’t wait to have you back on as guest with your next hit record,” Colbert said during his show on Thursday (August 11).
