Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, the #1 show in late night, where he talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology and more. Featuring bandleader Louis Cato and “THE LATE SHOW band,” the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015.

[@LivingroomTV-me9oz]

British person here. Colbert’s summary of three hundred and fifty years of history of the British Empire is more accurate and more comprehensive than what we are taught in school! Our version is heavy on spreading Christianity and building railroads…rather light on the whole genocide thang…

[@WindsorMason]

The US version of its own history is the same, but we pretend the rail road part didn't ever happen, and we apparently don't ever need to try doing that thing again, that we never did. Cars are good, more land should be devoted to them, they should be held to the highest and know if we are not worshiping enthusiastically enough... Must get more oil for the wheeled holiness.

[@traceythompson1092]

[@afreezaphorogiancossack2194]

Nobody ever talks much about Stephen's delivery because the content is so strong. But of course his intro to the "Meanwhile" kind of puts his fundamental skills on display. He's actually got some of the longest sentences full of elaborate vocabulary that the writers could imagine, and he really seldom goofs. It's amazing when you think about how he has to do that like 4 times a week with little to no rehearsal. But like I said, it's just one of the many things about this show that are just extraordinary. And until today I never learned or noticed that he was in Second City. Man, they were all the rage back then in Chicago. And Chicago was the place then, too. Thank you, Stephen, absolutely love the show, the best late night ever!

This is unusual to find it the same day. Mostly CVS hides it until about three days later when they put up the whole playlist for the day. When they shorten fuse or his back after a long time on vacation then they make the segments available.
