Stephen Colbert Jabs CBS While Promoting ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ with Meryl Streep

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end its acclaimed 11-season run on May 21.

But until then, Colbert has made it clear it’s still his show.

On Wednesday, Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep stopped by to promote The Devil Wears Prada 2. Colbert asked Streep to set up a clip from the highly anticipated sequel.

“It’s been 20 years, and Andrea — I can’t call her Andy — has gone off and done good work in journalism,” Streep said. “She has worked for an investigative journalistic paper. At the beginning of the film, all of the media outlets, even Runway, are under siege by our new digital overlords.”

Colbert cut in, “What’s that like?”

Streep burst out into laughter, and the audience erupted in cheers.

CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last July.

Andy Sachs, Anne Hathaway’s iconic character in The Devil Wears Prada, can relate to Colbert’s position.

“She’s out of a job,” Streep continued. “Some things disintegrate in this new atmosphere, and so she needs a new job, and a series of circumstances lead her to this moment where she comes back to Runway.”

The Devil Wears Prada became a cultural phenomenon upon its 2006 release. Streep portrays Miranda Priestly, the head of the fictional high-end fashion magazine Runway, and earned an Oscar nomination for the role.

In the original film, Andy was an aspiring journalist with no fashion sense who unexpectedly landed at Runway. Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Adrian Grenier also starred.

Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci reprised their roles for The Devil Wears Prada 2, which hits theatres on May 1. The sequel boasts additional star power in Lady Gaga, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet (via Variety).
