The Late Show with Stephen Colbert went on hiatus last week, joining several other late-night TV shows going dark. But CBS has offered an update on when to expect Stephen Colbert back on the air.
The Easter holiday factored into The Late Show with Stephen Colbert going off the air. Other programs, like Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon also closed down for the week.
But it's back to work for Stephen Colbert and his team on Monday. There will be a brand-new episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, April 28.
Expect Colbert to play catch up from his time off as well as react to stories breaking over the weekend. President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office are up, which should give Colbert an excuse to critique Trump's performance (as if Colbert needs any extra encouragement).
The Late Show host will probably also have something to say about Trump's appearance at the funeral of Pope Francis. Colbert's Catholic faith has often been a topic on the show, so it's hard to imagine he'd let the event pass without mentioning it during his monologue.
Then, it's time for the guests to arrive. First up, Colbert will welcome comedian and actress Wanda Sykes to the show. She's currently on her Please and Thank You Tour that sends her around the east coast during May before moving overseas with stops in Norway, Sweden, and Germany.
Colbert next chats with actor and comedian Cole Escola. They earned critical praise for performing in Oh ,Mary! on Broadway.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs tonight, April 28, at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.
