Is The Late Show with Stephen Colbert new tonight, September 5?
By Matt Moore
Monday night means the start of another week in late-night television. But what should The Late Show with Stephen Colbert fans expect to see tonight on CBS?
Stephen Colbert hasn’t delivered a new episode since early August. During that time, The Late Show has been on hiatus between seasons and seen itself lose out in the ratings to Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld.
Unfortunately, Colbert won’t get the chance to turn things around on Monday. There will not be a new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight. The news shouldn’t shock anyone considering it’s the Labor Day holiday.
Instead, CBS will reair the August 11 episode. Interested fans can revisit Colbert’s visits from Karine Jean-Pierre, Tatiana Maslany, and Joe Walsh.
What to watch instead of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight
The Labor Day holiday means that everyone else in late-night TV will also be off tonight. Don’t expect to find any new episodes anywhere on the schedule.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah all air repeats or nothing at all Monday night.
The good news? Everyone will be back starting Tuesday night. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends its hiatus and kicks off a week filled with top-notch guests.
