About The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Host Stephen Colbert interviews actors, sportspersons, politicians, musicians, comedians and artists about their personal and professional journeys. Famous musical personalities deliver performances.
This show is broadcast on CBS, also known as the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Your guests frequently have a book to promote.
It would be a great public service, and to your guests;
if your could have a ‘Colbert’s Guest Book List’ link on your official web page.
Many thanks, keep up the great service you provide in this crazy period in America’s democracy.
Why is Stephen Colbert off again this week? He was just off, came back for one week and is gone again. No explanation. His viewers deserve to know why. Is he really coming back next week and if so, for how long this time? With so much happening in the world, we appreciate and need his satirical take on what’s happening. Please don’t reply with some pat “thank you for your question etc”. I would like a real answer. Thanks.
