Nice didge, Stephen! Last night’s episode is truly a late version of The Late Show, pre-empted once again by the DNC night 3. Who stayed up for the show? We’ve got lots to talk about!

We meet a new character, “Stephen Colbert’s” identical cousin “Stephen Colbert.” (Seriously, I am not even sure how to annotate all these guys! I am diagnosing the real Stephen with multiple personality disorder.) The Cousin seems a little more blue collar than the character, but he is going to be appearing on the show as a regular, and the great part is he clears CBS’ legal dept. What a great idea!

If that weren’t enough for you, Stephen finds a way to bring back TCR’s The Word in a permanent and once again totally legal way, “The WERD.” So exciting! He’s back, baby! I think CBS is going to be pleased with audience response to this segment. Excitement is key right now in the Colbert Nation (Country.)

And that brings us to tonight’s WERD: a new recurring segment sure to please TCR fans.

We’ll have lots more to come, please let us know what thought of the episode in the comments!
