And your number one!

This is why if you watched the opening monologue of the first episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” he didn’t seem completely comfortable. Granted, late-night viewing is no longer a zero-sum game: options have proliferated, and those with DVRs so inclined can easily record more than one show.
Colbert’s interpersonal expertise shows itself in his ability to cater to the strength of his guests combined with a palpable sincerity that underlies his interviews.
“When we see you, we think that we’re actually seeing the real Joe Biden“, Colbert remarked, and though he soon turned the moment toward comedy-“I can’t imagine what it would be like to spend nine years pretending to be somebody that you’re not”-this interest in authenticity carried Colbert’s otherwise lackluster first week to surprising heights”. Colbert announced the booking on Twitter, posing with his Apple Watch prominently displayed on his left wrist. Proving that their so-called rivalry is friendly, Fallon and Colbert ended the show in the “late night show host locker room”, bidding each other good night. It’s quite another to follow it up with action, whether it’s by actively prioritizing hiring more women and people of color on your show, or actively speaking out against other shows that don’t.
How successful will his tenure be as host of The Late Show?
Thanks for sticking with it!
“You could imagine how exciting that was for all of us, after CBS had plastered my face on every flat surface on the planet”, he said. There has been talk that booking Jeb Bush was a move to affirm that he was not going to be yet another liberal late night TV host bashing conservatives for cheap laughs. Each subsequent night, Colbert fell back to second place during Week One. In order to get the spot on network TV, Colbert apparently had to make a wish on this amulet and sell his soul to an Assyrian fire God. And I think the more the merrier. And in Colbert’s old colleague Jon Stewart, who showed up briefly on Colbert’s first show. The Late Show host created buzz for the debut of his CBS show by posting comedy clips on the Internet. That’s when Stephen Colbert will have Donald Trump on as a guest.
Colbert is still finding his footing in the remaining aspects of a late-night show.
Once the quality of its late-night responsibilities can catch up to the quality of Colbert’s interviews, “The Late Show” will be worth watching in its entirety. His interview style is as provocative as ever. “She taught me to be grateful for my life regardless of what that entailed, and that’s directly related to the image of Christ on the cross and the example of sacrifice that He gave us”, the 51-year-old host explained. Colbert binged on Trump and had a wonderful metaphor of the media’s obsession with Trump. Clooney, who several months ago handcuffed himself to Letterman in a joking attempt to get him to stay, was given a Tiffany paperweight engraved with “I don’t know you” as a wedding present. “I mean, it’s kind of masochistic, but, hey, it pays the bills”.

Instead he found a Paul Simon tribute band he had seen at a friend’s barbecue called “Troubled Waters” to come on the show and play the 1972 hit.
