Stephen Colbert chatted it up with local news anchors to promote The Late Show that debuts this Tuesday at 11:35p on CBS. Once of the anchors he spoke with is WFOR‘s Rick Folbaum who decided to change things up. The Miami newsman is sick of reading the teleprompter, and he would like start singing the bad news. Only problem, is the news director won’t let him do it for some reason. So he thought he would ask Colbert to sing along with him, in the hopes of persuading his boss to allow him to do it.
Do you think he made his case or do you want to change the channel? As someone who worked in news in Miami (not WFOR), I think it works! Miami is always groundbreaking when it comes to changing up how newscasts are done, and I would love to musical news.
Today was a big day for Pluto because NASA’s New Horizon was able to transmit images of the planet and her moon. While you and I call her planet, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, calls her a Dwarf Planet.
Since today was her big day, Stephen Colbert thought she needed some defending. Even though his Late Show doesn’t debut on CBS until September 8th, he still interviewed the Pluto naysayer.
Was he able to convince him? I think he got him to consider adding a 9th planet to his tie, don’t you?
I would write more about their conversation, but even though Tyson and I went to same Junior High School, I have no idea what he is talking about. He went to Harvard and I went to the Harvard of the South, University of Miami. The only planet we studied there was the sun because we worshiped her. I bet you are going to go all Neil deGrasse Tyson and tell me that the sun is not a planet.
Stephen Colbert has been off the air since December; and even though The Late Show will be back on September 8th, he can’t wait until then. So he went to Monroe, Mi and took over the Public Access show MPACT‘s Only in Monroe. While he was hosting the show, he interviewed the show’s real hosts Michelle Bowman and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson, settled a Yelp complaint, spoke with an up and coming rap artist named Marshall Mathers, who produced a film called South Paw and ended the show reading the community calendar. So set aside 41:25 because I promise you will not be disappointed.
If this is what we can expect on CBS in 2 months and 7 days, then September 8th can’t come soon enough. And if I were a late night host named Jimmy, not only would I be sh!tting a brick right about now, I would be sh!tting a whole building.
Finally, someone needs to give Eminem and Mike Tyson a buddy movie because these two have really mastered the art of comedy. He’s a rapper from the tough streets of Detroit, he’s a fighter from the mean streets of Brooklyn, and together they are going to fight crime in the pleasant town of Monroe, Mi. Watch them go after a man who let his dog poop on Ms. Rose Green’s prize winning lawn. I don’t know about you, but I would totally go to see Bad Rap.
John Oliver challenged Stephen Colbert to give him 20 and The Late Show host accepted. He decided to do 20 pushups for his challenge and he is one powerful man. He started out doing them just like everyone else and then he challenged himself to make them harder with each push. Eventually, he just lifted himself with the power of the breath.
I can’t wait to see what late night host will have the balls to take him on because he is one mighty strong man. Who do you think will top his 20, Jimmy Kimmel or James Corden? We know that Jimmy Fallon is temporarily out of the mix, but I am sure he will be willing to give the winner a hand. Too soon?
Donald Trump announced today he is running for President of the United States and it is a late night show’s host’s dream come true. That is unless you are someone like Stephen Colbert, who is currently between shows. So what do you do if you are him? You get your Late Show staff together and record a video mocking the Billionaire’s announcement.
September 8th can’t come soon enough for Colbert, his staff, CBS and most importantly us!
BTW how much do you want to bet, Colbert is so happy he still isn’t doing his show on Comedy Central because he would not have been able to do something like that if he was still working on The Colbert Report.
