Improv actor and comic Stephen Colbert leaves his "The Colbert Report" character behind as he makes his long-awaited return to television. As the host of The Late Show franchise redux -- taped at the historic Ed Sullivan Theatre at New York -- Colbert talks to actors, athletes, politicians, comics, artists and musicians as himself for the first time. Loyal fans, however, will also be treated to consistency as Colbert remains backed by many members of his writing and digital team from his former venture. Julliard-trained Jon Batiste serves as the bandleader.

The Ed Sullivan Theater (where the show is taped) underwent an extensive renovation during the time between David Letterman's retirement and Stephen Colbert's debut as host of the Late Show. In addition to the talk show set receiving an overhaul, several architectural features of the theater were restored. The theater's ornate domed ceiling, which had been hidden behind air ducts and sound buffers, was uncovered, and the ornate stained-glass windows, which had been removed and placed in storage during the Letterman era, were re-installed.
Stephen Colbert's first guest as host of the Late Show was actor George Clooney. This was actually the third time Clooney had the honor of being the first guest on a variety show, the first was on The Rosie O'Donnell Show (1996) 19 years prior, and the second was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003) 12 years prior.
During the 2016 election, founder of Conservative Economic Studies ( CES ), Charlie Roach, called out Colbert in an interview saying "The act of political satire is often tasteless due to both sides having a different view, however with the right humour and insight it can be pulled off. Look at shows like SNL, which provide illustrious comedy sketches through their impeccable delivery, then look at Stephen Colbert, some braindead, liberal hippie, trying to sound like a Nancy version of Letterman. Satire is limited". In retaliation, SNL ignored his compliment to defend Colbert in a "Charlie Roach Cold Open", where he prepares for his "sacrifice", which is actually just a Democratic Rally held to question his motives. The line "Nancy version of Letterman" is used in the skit to mock Ben Carson.
The questions of the Colbert Questionert are:What is the best sandwich? What's one thing you own that you should really throw out? What's the scariest animal? Apples or oranges? Have you ever asked someone for their autograph? What'd you think happens when we die? Favorite action movie? Favorite smell? Exercise: worth it? [referring to how to drink champagne] Flat or sparkling? Most used app on your phone? What number am I thinking of? Describe the rest of your life in five words.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (2015) was nominated for the 2018 Emmy Award in the Outstanding Variety Talk Series category, but lost to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (2014).
"Stephen Colbert: [at the Republican National Convention podium] Welcome, citizens, to the 2016 Hungry for Power Games! Ha ha, beautiful! This week, in this arena, the Republicans shall prove they are truly passionate about one candidate: Hillary Clinton. They will do anything to stop her, up to and including nominating Donald J. Jonah Jameson Trump. But Tribute Trump will not enter the arena alone, no. He has formed an alliance with Indiana governor Mike Pence. [falls asleep] Stephen Colbert: Sorry, I blacked out there for a moment. So it is my honor to hereby launch and begin the 2016 Republican National Hungry for Power Games! [bangs gavel; security begins to escort him away] Stephen Colbert: Look, I know I'm not supposed to be up here, but let's be honest: neither is Donald Trump."
"Jon Stewart: [after Stephen tells him who the 2016 Republican presidential candidate is] The guy from "The Apprentice"? Stephen Colbert: Yep. Jon Stewart: The guy who did a McDonald's commercial with the Grimace. Stephen Colbert: Same guy. Jon Stewart: The guy who filed for bankruptcy in 1991. Stephen Colbert: And '92. Jon Stewart: And 2004. Stephen Colbert: And 2009. Jon Stewart: THAT guy. Stephen Colbert: Yes. Jon Stewart: Mike Tyson's business advisor. That guy. Stephen Colbert: Indeed. Same guy. Jon Stewart: The guy whose eyes look like tiny versions of his mouth. Stephen Colbert: Yes. The guy who looks like an angry Creamsicle. Jon Stewart: Decomposing jack-o'-lantern. Stephen Colbert: Human-toupee hybrid. Jon Stewart: That guy. Stephen Colbert: Yes. Jon Stewart: A guy who looks like he's actually wearing a Donald Trump costume. That guy. Stephen Colbert: Yes. A loose-fitting one, at that. Jon Stewart: The guy who wrote, and I quote, "oftentimes, when I was sleeping with one of the top women in the world, I would say to myself, can you believe what I am getting?" That guy. Stephen Colbert: Yes. The same guy who said, and I quote, "I have black guys counting my money. I hate it. The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day." Jon Stewart: That guy. Stephen Colbert: Yes, that guy. Jon Stewart: By the way, we wear them all night, too."
