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.

I know they're very small potatoes compared to "CBS", but I believe Dropout has similar or even better numbers than the Paramount+ service (or maybe even more apt: Funny or Die versus CollegeHumor)... and Sam has been very open about the fact that not only is KZbin great advertising for them, it makes them like half their money too.

Oh, what an excellent pick she is. Well done Taylor.

[@SteveZ1]

Good for both of you. Right on!

[@Goblinkatie]

The suit and combat boots combo is awesome. I freaking LOVE Taylor and am actually looking forward to this. Great casting!

[@Sharonmxg]

I have been loving Taylor Tomlinson's shorts and stand-up on KZbin. She is an outstanding comic. Smart, insightful and HELLA funny! Congrats to her on the groovy new gig! I can't think of another comic performing currently who deserves the Colbert Bump more than Taylor.

Conan must be so proud

Happy birthday girlie looking forward to checking out your show

Cheering for this girl--she is so funny and clever, and so likeable.

This is great news I wish Taylor Tomlinson the best and look foreword to her good work to come.

Finally a good decision was made in late night television!

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Well, again. I mean, Stephen was a good decision too.

[@IsabelaGiusti]

They literally couldn't have hired a more deserving and well-suited person for the job! Can't wait to have a new comfort show hosted by one of my favorite comedians!!

[@weirdbeardzz]

@midnight was a great show. Looking forward to this!

[@Arun_Kumar_UK]

This is fantastic. It's just not comedy, but also the values. Love you Taylor for the values you bring to your show (not very different from the great Mr Colbert himself). Look forward to the show!

[@CarissaConti]

Mr. Colbert's values? Really? What values would those be? Oh.....maybe it was that "comedy" skit with him and Hillary Clinton "joking" about eating human baby meat sandwiches at the Carnegie Deli! That's right! Or maybe it was that time he was running amok on stage with a real, crying, scared baby in his arms screaming to the "voice of the d 3v i l" coming from the smoke to sacrifice the baby, not him. Must be those values! ;) ;) ;) Got it! Colbert being involved in this is such a massive disappointment. Not many late night show hosts openly reveal what they really are. Kimmel does. Colbert does. But people buy into the masks they wear on stage. Which obviously work. Taylor is way, way too good to ever be associated with this guy. Whatever he really is. I just hope it doesn't mean she too has "gone to the dark side." Hope she can stay a real person.

Saw her in Denver a few weeks ago. She is so damned brilliant, what a great turn of events this is. She's going to nail this.

[@elizabethrose7752]

I love this, she’s my favorite comedian and is so relatable. Great choice, and I can’t wait to see the show!

[@LivingGuy484]

I've enjoyed Taylor's comedy over the past few years, it's great to see her doing well for herself! She deserves it

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

I’m really disappointed to hear Colbert will be producing it though.

[@jayo8281]

She's hilarious and will kill it!

[@patrickhobbs96]

So happy for her and for US, too! Good luck to you, Taylor.

Love Taylor so much. So happy for her. She is INSANELY talented and so, so funny. Truly a great comedian of this generation. Can't wait to see everything!

[@joshuanorton5891]

Hell yeah ! She's Great and So deserving of this . She's actually the 1st female comic I've Ever liked and looked forward to her next performance. Congratulations to Ms Tomlinson for this career sealing position 💫

[@ceyrai]

Taylor is one of my top 2 favorite Taylors and definitely one of my favorite stand up comedians. Happy birthday and I hope your show has all the love and support it needs!

[@tyler6320]

Yep her and Taylor Lautner 😍😍

[@wZem]

Well deserved Taylor! All the best!

[@Whysobluntpal]

I heard Taylor was getting her own show and was actually happy to hear she got this shot, hearing it was also going to be PRODUCED by Colbert? Not bad for Ms. Arm Floaties. Good shit!

[@joannejohnson7006]

Good luck again Taylor 😂 really happy for you! I can’t wait to see your show
