Nothing has been guaranteed with the schedule for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert lately. So what should late-night TV fans expect to see tonight on CBS?

Stephen Colbert didn’t return to the air for very long before he was back on the shelf. Last week, a COVID-19 diagnosis meant Colbert couldn’t host The Late Show.

Fortunately, Colbert got clearance to return this week and started back in the studio on Monday. So that means there will be a brand new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.

Expect Colbert’s monologue to continue basking in the chaos of the House GOP. After celebrating Jim Jordan’s humiliation on Monday, Colbert can break down the latest Republican to be denied the Speaker of the House position.

Who’s on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, October 24?

First up, Stephen Colbert will interview Jim Gaffigan. The comedian released his special Dark Pale on Prime over the summer. In November, he’ll kick off a short run of shows co-headling with Jerry Seinfeld before continuing on his “Barely Alive” tour through April 2024.

Then, Caroline Polacheck joins The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Her album Desire, I Want to Turn Into You dropped in February 2023. Look for a performance of her latest single, “Dang.”

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs tonight, October 24, at 11:35 p.m. ET. The show also streams live on Paramount+, and fans can find monologue videos, interview clips, and more on the Late Show‘s official YouTube channel.
