How'd the process for getting tickets go? Was it smooth?I've got a pair of tickets for the show on the 10th. My hype levels are unreasonably high.
It's been too long. I've got pretty high expectations, but here's hoping that it doesn't follow the "normal" late show formula too closely.
he happily ditched the report character, and those segments will not work in the late night format.It's been too long. I've got pretty high expectations, but here's hoping that it doesn't follow the "normal" late show formula too closely.
Hopefully with roughly double the time per night there's time for the guests plus some Report-esque segments.

edit: That is to say he was getting tired of the colbert report so he wouldn't want to continue the format he was doing on the report. He will likely do his own take on lat night, what his take will be is to be seen.

It's probably something just to see how the format works with a real audience. I can't imagine that it wouldn't be worth checking it out.I have tickets for a "test show" tomorrow. I don't even know what that means or if it's worth it.
it's a cold run. I will be in the format that his show is and it will have a guest, it just won't air.I have tickets for a "test show" tomorrow. I don't even know what that means or if it's worth it.
He'll always be Chuck Noblet to me.
Ok, I was thinking you meant something like the report's pseudo reporting segments (like to better know a district and stuff). Late night shows already do comedy bit segments, they're between the monologue and the first guest. I enjoy the comedy bits like you, and wish they happened more frequently in late night. I would even like if the monologue was shortened for more time to do the bits, but I'm sure they can't deviate too much.I didn't mean something straight of the the Report, I just meant some 3-5 minute comedy bits -- i.e. something other than monologue -> 25 minutes of guests -> musical guest, five times a week.
I would even like if the monologue was shortened for more time to do the bits, but I'm sure they can't deviate too much.

I agree with you, I just think monologues are the weakest part of late night.It's a LOT of content to create for a show that's on 5 days a week for an hour.

That guest list is REALLY REALLY fucking interesting.
Enough of these brain dead actors and actresses. I really don't give a flying fuck about their vapid lives.
Elon Musk on there is so god damn badass. I might have to start watching late night shows again.

I'm still nervous about this. He hasn't done much outside of his joke character for a decade. I hope he succeeds.
