Did Stephen Colbert announce plans to launch a "60 Minutes"-style program with Scott Pelley? No, that's not true: The TikTok creator labeled the video with this fake announcement as AI-generated. A Google News search finds no reporting of a planned collaboration between Colbert and Pelley on a new program; articles mentioning both men relate to recent changes at CBS, not a joint "60 Minutes"-style venture.

The video (archived here) was uploaded to TikTok on June 4, 2026 by GossipNavigator (@eismwc8pw6). The post caption read:

Stephen Colbert plans to launch a new 60 Minutes style program with Scott Pelley and has said he hopes CBS collapses as soon as tomorrow. #stephencolbert #scottpelley #cbs #usa #celebrity
