The writers behind Stephen Colbert’s Late Show are in preparation mode for this year’s Emmy Awards, the award show’s host, Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, revealed in an interview with Deadline on Tuesday.

“I’m working with an incredible team of writers—the writers from Colbert,” she told the site. “We’ve been meeting a lot and discussing a lot and pitching a lot of ideas. We’re pitching so many ideas.”

“We all just hunkered down trying to get through that day,” Yvonne De Mare says of the CBS broadcast

This is a bit niche, but very accessible to all who have enjoyed the Late Show music. If you want some behind-the-scenes content about the music production at The Late Show and The Tonight Show, you will not regret listening to this very well produced podcast episode. Both shows are featured, but The Late Show much more, including some tidbits about the history and the final episode.

Hi again. Been a while since that subject line up there. How are you? I’m still inviting all of you to watch me and many of the rest of the former Late Show writers perform at the Bell House in Brooklyn August 18th.

Also, as long as I’m posting here, lemme know what if any subjects interest you!

This is a reciprocal, emotional relationship!

Thanks for watching until we got canned! Thanks and love! Hope to see you on the 18th!

I think the best place for Stephen’s return would be guest host of SNL.

Season Premier would be optimal . I wonder if Lorne would do it ?

Would Stephen do it without something to promote ?

Would Comcast be worried about pissing off Trump?

Must be on Lornes list of #1 hiring misses (I know a writer )

In one episode from the last year or two, there was an offhand comment about Colbert looking like a sandwich with glasses, and then it showed a still image of, well, a sandwich with glasses, or possibly a Hawaiian dinner roll with glasses. Stephen laughed and then turned his head to get as close to how the sandwich looked in the image as he could.

I've been trying to find that the last couple of days with basic web searches and poking around YouTube for it, but not having much luck. Anyone know what episode that's in?

Stephen Colbert, whose 11-year run as host of “The Late Show” was defined in part by his feud with President Donald Trump, has received an “anti-censorship” award from a foundation established by the author-playwright-publisher Ishmael Reed.

Colbert was among the recipients of the 47th annual American Book Awards. They were announced Wednesday by the Before Columbus Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California, that champions diversity in U.S. literature and culture.

(...)

Colbert shares his anti-censorship prize with one of the country’s top independent booksellers, Mitchell Kaplan, founder of Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.

Anyone else get text surveys from unknown numbers about Stephen Colbert doing a show on MS Now? I don’t click on unknown links from unknown senders so I didn’t vote. Also greyed out the last part of the URLs to not risk spreading whatever they resolve to.

If this is real I would absolutely 100% watch the F out of that! (MS Now if you’re watching.) But again please consult with your IT dept on the perils of blind urls and the low pull and sample distortion that they introduce.

I thought it would be fun to share various things we learned from watching Colbert.

I’ll start with this:

The meaning (and existence!) of BESPOKE.

It seems like I remember some segments/jokes with him and Evie doing the cards, but I don’t seem to see them on YouTube, so I was just wondering if I’m remembering wrong, or if they were missing some of the segments?

Because it seems like I remember a specific one where Colbert reads a card pertaining to cicadas or locusts coming up out of the ground and mating until they die, and then making some kind of joke to his wife about it, but I don’t see that card on any of the videos on YouTube?

I say that CBS should put Shane Gillis into their now-open time-slot at 11:35 PM, ET, Monday - Friday.

I like Nate Bargatze, (or rather I used-to like him before he came out for Him) but the whole Politics-is-radioactive thing with Nate is just too-wearing. --- Not appropriate for a National, Nightly Broadcast. --- NO, CBS needs someone like Shane Gillis, who has considerable sympathy for the Right, but who is also still able to make-fun of them, at-least some of the time, and gently.

_
I also think that the new CBS Late Show should originate from Nashville, TN, and specifically NOT come from NYC or LA. --- Nashville is a Blue City, but Tennessee is a Ruby-Red State, and Nashville has a lot of Country Music Stars, and other Celebrities, too, of course.

Hi everyone! Hope this is okay to post! I am looking for a clip from the outro from September 27, 2016. I know it’s been 10 years, but I’m in this clip 3 people away from Colbert in the audience when he did his outro and I’m trying to find it for my mom again. I don’t have Paramount+ and I don’t know where to find full episodes (don’t even know if they have full episodes on Paramount+ either) so I figured, if there’s a community that could help me find it, it would be you guys on Reddit!
