By Matt Moore
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert‘s schedule has been anything but predictable lately. So what should fans expect to see tonight on CBS?
Thankfully, Stephen Colbert has fully recovered from his ruptured appendix that cost him two weeks of shows. The comedian returned to work last week, but the holidays are quickly approaching.
But the good news is that Colbert isn’t ready for a vacation quite yet. There will be a brand new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight.
Expect Colbert’s monologue to bring the audience up to speed on Donald Trump’s latest rallies as well as developments in the former president’s trials. Trump remains the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to Colbert’s monologue.
