Editing Buddy Cole (character) (section)

== After the TV series ==
Following the conclusion of the television series in 1995, Buddy Cole made regular appearances in Scott Thompson's one-man stage show.<ref>[http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_18896965 "Two 'Kids in the Hall' take a shot at stand-up"] ''[[San Jose Mercury News]]'', September 14, 2011</ref> Buddy has been one of many characters revived for ''The Kids in the Hall'' reunion tours; he did not, however, appear in the troupe's 1996 film ''[[Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy]]'' or their 2010 reunion miniseries ''[[The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town]]''. He did appear in a sketch in the 2022 Amazon Prime revival of ''The Kids in the Hall'', reminiscing about the changes in the gay village over the years as he walks down the street with a friend, before they unexpectedly come across the last remaining [[glory hole]].<ref>Kathryn VanArendonk, [https://www.vulture.com/article/kids-in-the-hall-amazon-comedy-review.html "The Kids in the Hall Make a Head-Crushing Return"] ''[[Vulture (website)|Vulture]]'', May 13, 2022</ref>

In 1994, Thompson appeared in character as Buddy Cole in [[Bruce LaBruce]]'s film ''[[Super 8½]]''.

In 1998, Thompson and [[Paul Bellini]] co-authored the book ''Buddy Babylon: The Autobiography of Buddy Cole''.<ref>[http://torontoist.com/2011/03/scott_thompson_goes_straight_with_new_comic/ "Scott Thompson Goes Straight With New Comic"] ''[[Torontoist]]'', March 16, 2011</ref>

In early 2006, [[Breakthrough Entertainment]], the producers of the series ''[[Atomic Betty]]'' and ''[[Paradise Falls]]'', announced that an [[animation|animated]] comedy series based on the character was in development.<ref name=breakthrough>[http://www.c21media.net/breakthrough-for-gay-sitcom-toon/ "Breakthrough for gay sitcom toon"] C21 Media, April 12, 2006</ref> ''Buddy's'' was expected to air on [[CBC Television]] and the American LGBT channel [[Here!]].<ref name=breakthrough /> However, in a February 1, 2007 interview on ''[[Tom Green Live]]'', Thompson announced that the series was no longer in development. No reason for the dissolution of the show was given, but Thompson did say that Buddy Cole now had his own [[blog]] instead, written and updated by Thompson himself.

On January 13, 2008, Thompson posted a video blog as Cole. However, it was also his last; as announced in the video (titled "Adieu to EWE"), Cole simply did not have enough time to blog.

In February 2014, Thompson appeared in character as Buddy Cole on several episodes of ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', serving as the program's correspondent to the [[2014 Winter Olympics]] in [[Sochi]], [[Russia]]. His coverage focused on Russia's anti-gay laws, including interviewing openly gay Ambassador [[Daniel Baer]] of the [[Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]].<ref name=colbert/>
