The Late Show will broadcast live after the presidential and VP debates
One of the most fun things (or maybe the only fun thing) about the recent Democratic and Republican National Conventions was seeing the live Late Show episodes on CBS each night. Not only did they give Stephen Colbert a chance to get a little wackier than normal, they also gave him a chance to unpack and examine the speeches and newsworthy moments in a significantly more timely manner that kept his jokes feeling a lot fresher than they would’ve in a pre-taped show. Now, as reported by E! News, Colbert will be doing it live once again for the presidential and vice presidential debates—assuming they actually happen and one of the candidates doesn’t try to weasel out for some reason.
