Stephen Colbert

Last night she was dubbed 'Water Batman' for her efforts and expertise. Environmental activist Erin Brockovich discusses the Flint water crisis with Stephen Colbert.

It was sincere, and it was funny. Somehow, it all worked beautifully.

What say you? If there was a vacancy on The Red Planet, would you want to check-in?

Between a monologue, musical number and George Clooney, Colbert proved his satirical days are behind him.

We’re closer than ever to Stephen Colbert’s Late Show debut on September 8, and while George Clooney’s guest appearance gave a marquee head start, the full guest list for Colbert’s full week offers a much clearer view of the new series. Everyone from Jeb Bush to Elon Musk and Amy Schumer will fill out the ranks, with musical guests on deck as well.

No one doubted that Stephen Colbert would put in an appearance on his former Daily Show host’s final hour, but thankfully the future Late Show leader didn’t party too hard afterward. Early Friday, Colbert announced his first Late Show guest for September, none other than the handsomest of handsome, George Clooney.

Bruce Springsteen closed the show with 'Born To Run', but not before Stephen Colbert had a few words for Jon.

If you were ever concerned that he wouldn't be able to drop the Colbert "schtick" to replace Letterman, here's proof positive that he'll be great.

Way to go out with a BANG, Stephen! He even had Big Bird and Cookie Monster!

As an LOTR and Hobbit lover, HOW DID I MISS THIS???!!!!

Although it might seem like good form for someone who has just landed a sweet new gig to kowtow a smidgen to their predecessor, soon-to-be 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert doesn't need to force such emotions when it comes to current host David Letterman, because, man, does he really love the comedian and his show.

CBS made the announcement, via Twitter that Stephen Colbert will take over as host of the 'Late Show' when David Letterman retires
