Goodbye, “A Late Show.” Welcome back, “The Late Show.” StephenAtHome talks about making his return to the Ed Sullivan Theater on tonight’s episode of TheLateShow.
, the co-anchors of NBC’s “Today” morning program, return to their usual seating, no longer socially distanced. And they have witnessed “Saturday Night Live” in front of a packed Studio 8H, rather than just handfuls of people. Now they will see the full Colbert, with all the trimmings.
“I’m surprised he’s been able to carry on [the show] like he has. But he got the job done,” said Bruce Franklin, who won an online lottery to attend Monday’s broadcast. “Being in there on the first night back is going be great. I wouldn’t want to miss it. There’s going to be a lot of pent-up good energy waiting to get out there.”
“We could have, you know, done a staggered return, starting, I think, probably in March. But my rule was I wasn’t going to go back until I could just go back,” said Colbert. The size of the Ed Sullivan Theater – with two tiers of seating, it is significantly larger than many of the homes of other late-night shows – means having a smattering of attendees would have limited effect. “We wanted the enjoyment of seeing an ending. I don’t want to dribble this out,” Colbert said.
No matter the era, Colbert says he’s doing the same thing he has always done: talking to Americans about what interests them the most. “It’s all about what’s leading the conversation every day. I don’t make those decisions. We watch the news like everybody else.”
