The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!

CBS is dead. Taken over by fascists. What a goddamn shame. Went from Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in news", to the sad pathetic shell it is now.

and doing what they did only created more publicity for the guest they didn't air and at the time of this writing the youtube airing of it has 3.4million views. This comment 'Dear FCC: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I wouldn't have ever seen it otherwise.' sums it up perfectly.

And now this morning - update: 5,109,100 views

It's odd but someone's keep rating every aired episode with one star. When my vote is second (it usually 7 stars) the overall rating would be equal to 4. And 1+7/2=4. It's unlikely someone dislikes that much and keeps watching nonetheless. So someone just follows the show and every time there's a new episode pops up in their tvmaze feed rates it with one star. Why someone is so pity, small and dishonest?
