roseha December 20, 2014 Share December 20, 2014 Well, I was just thinking that really talk show hosts are pretty much expected to work through out the year (though of course they get vacations - I remember when we had the big 2003 summer blackout in the Northeast almost all of them were away so couldn't comment on it) so probably Stephen won't mind having a break to prepare/focus.

They currently have up a slide show of "Exclusive Temporary Office Behind-The-Scenes Gallery" where the final shot is the spot they've set aside for L.Ron Hubbard, captioned, "We’ve also set aside a desk for Elijah." (you can see all the photos by clicking 'Just Show Me Photos' at the top of the page). They certainly seem to be enjoying themselves! I think I'll be stopping by regularly over the summer.

So that was awesome! As far as I know, this is unprecedented: we're getting a look at an upcoming late night talk show as a work in progress, as it strives to develop its comedic voice.

So unfortunate that Stephen isn't on the air to react to the news... but then he dropped this video about the Supreme Court ruling. Of course, the "Stephen" character wouldn't have been allowed to wave rainbow flags and rejoice, but his takedown of the dissenters on the Court is not too different than something that could have appeared on the "Report."

ALenore July 7, 2015 Share July 7, 2015 Has anyone else been listening to The Late Show Podcast? I've really been enjoying it. He does a fake ad in the beginning of each segment that sounds almost exactly like the ads I hear on most of the NPR podcasts I listen to. The one on June 24th was for something called "Earth Mail" where each month you receive "a hand curated box of twigs, loam, and lumps of dirt". It ended with "Earth Mail, soil yourself." He's been talking with his writers and producers about getting the show ready. Most of the people are ones he's been working with for years on The Colbert Report and on other past shows. A few are new. He talked about all the work they're doing renovating the studio, and about how he was trying to help them, and the workers had to tell him to go away. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/19571-anticipation-for-stephen-colberts-late-show/#findComment-1302115

Guess that free advertising for the pizza place is gone now then! About the new one for the show? Let me be honest. I hate it. The colors don't work for me, and it doesn't feature Stephen's name in the logo at ALL. I realize there's a part of America who have no familiarity with him, and maybe they're assuming the name might not resonate with everyone,but... EDIT: Okay, I just noticed the "WITH" is still there inside the "O". That implies the name HAS to be part of the logo, but for some reason didn't get put up at the same time. Odd. Are they perhaps putting the name on via some other technique rather than simply having it printed? Heh. One blogger already noted the same as me and made an "improved" version...
