5 Topics for…Late Show with Stephen Colbert Premiere

Gabriella Schwarz / September 7, 2015

Comedian Stephen Colbert takes over at CBS‘s “The Late Show” Tuesday, filling the seat held by David Letterman for 22 years. The former host of “The Colbert Report” on Comedy Central will welcome actor George Clooney, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, musician Kendrick Lamar and many other A-listers during his first week on the job.

Colbert, who’s known for his Colbert Show persona, his political satire and deceptively probing interviews, said producing “viral videos” will not be his goal.

“I am going to do a show and hopefully people will share it,” he said in early August. “I don’t feel like I have to come right out of the gate knowing everything. I would like to have enough humility to find it as I go.”
