Late-night TV will look a little more normal this week. That's because The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is back with brand new episodes beginning Monday, February 17,
Last week, Stephen Colbert and his team took the week off. It meant there was a void in late-night TV as the genre's top host didn't get his chance to speak on some of the week's biggest stories.
But that all changes tonight. Colbert is back and The Late Show wll be brand-new for Monday night. And the timing couldn't be better.
The rest of late-night TV is off on Monday night to observe the Presidents Day holiday. And with the exception of The Late Show and After Midnight, late-night TV plans to go dark for the rest of the week.
That means no Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, or Seth Meyers to break down the news or bring Hollywood's biggest names to late-night TV.
Thankfully, Colbert is back tonight, and The Late Show has some top-tier guests lined up for the week.
Who's on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week?
On Monday night, late-night TV hosts and ex-Daily Show correspondents reunite. John Oliver is the first guest on The Late Show, stopping by to promote the new season of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. The War and the Treaty will serve as the musical guest.
Tuesday night, Colbert welcomes George Clooney. He's gearing up to bring Good Night and Good Luck to Broadway next month. Then, Reacher star Alan Ritchson stops by The Late Show.
Wednesday night's episode will feature Oscar-winner Robert De Niro as he previews his new Netflix movie Zero Day. After that, Tamara Tunie sits with Colbert to talk her upcoming CBS soap Beyond the Gates.
Finally, the Late Show wraps up its week on Thursday with Al Roker. The Today host recently returned to work following his wife's death. And Monica Lewinsky joins the show to discuss her new podcast, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.
