By Matt Moore
Happy Halloween! For late-night TV fans, there would be no better way to end the night than with a brand new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. So what should audiences expect to see tonight on CBS?
Stephen Colbert returned this week with a new show on Monday night. His Late Show monologue took aim at new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, questioning the congressman’s hardcore beliefs when it comes to the Bible as fact.
Expect more commentary just like that on Tuesday night. There will be a brand new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.
The Late Show has a history of Halloween-themed bits, including Colbert’s advice on candy, a recap of the scariest costumes and more. Fans should anticipate more of the same, especially if Colbert can connect Halloween with some of the scary situations going on in Washington.
