Best of Late Night TV: Stephen Colbert's First 'Late Show,' Tina Fey's Dubsmash, Rita Ora's 'Clickbait Song'
If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! The crowd chanted for the new host on the premiere of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" on Tuesday, September 8. It was a big evening across late night, with only "Conan" on repeats and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Late Night With Seth Meyers," and "The Late Late Show With James Corden" all breaking out major guests. Here's your competition, Stephen!
Colbert opened his show with a montage of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as sung by Stephen and guests across the country, including a cameo from Jon Stewart. The episode ended with a massive jam session with a bunch of musicians playing "Everyday People." Stephen introduced his band, Jon Batiste and Stay Human, and they showed off the new "Late Show" intro and Ed Sullivan Theater.
Stephen only had two guests for the premiere, and his first guest, George Clooney, had no movie to promote, so they made one up: "Decision Strike." We'd watch!
The second guest, Jeb Bush, complimented President Obama (kind of) and talked about how, as president, he'd bring people together -- Democrats and Republicans. He also explained how he's different from his brother George. Here's a special online bonus clip with more detailed political answers from Jeb:
No late night episode is complete without shameless Donald Trump promotion, so here's Stephen's All You Can Trump Buffet, complete with Oreos -- because Trump said he will never eat Oreos again.
