On December 18th, 2014, the popular talk show, Colbert Report, ended it's 9 year run. Like so many, I was sad to see it end. However, Stephen Colbert's fans were excited to know he would be back on TV again as he was to take over the role of host on the Late Show.
On September 8th, 2015, after almost a year, the wait ended when the first episode of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert aired. So, did it live up to the hype?
We knew the Late Show would be different than the Colbert Report. It was much more publicized that Stephen Colbert would shed the "conservative" persona he portrayed. We also knew that the Late Show would be more about guest interviews than the Colbert Report was. Still, I was a little disappointed about the lack of political humor. There was some, but not as much as I was used to seeing. And I miss some of the regular pieces, such as "the word". However, in some ways it was just like the Colbert Report. He is still hilarious, and I'm glad he's back.
