Producers at CBS’ “Late Show” will this week experiment with the program’s Friday broadcast by running a new opening and monologue, then using the rest of the hour to call attention to highlights and segments from earlier in the week. A spokeswoman for the program called the maneuver an “experiment” and suggested the show could well go back to running an entirely new broadcast on Friday if circumstances warranted, or if the news of the day was compelling enough to require additional material.
“Late Show” typically tapes two episodes on Thursday afternoons, giving Colbert and his staff a little breathing room on Fridays. The spokeswoman, Lauren Kamm, said the same audience was likely to watch both tapings.

While on assignment in Russia for an upcoming segment on the ‘Late Show’, Stephen Colbert appeared on the Russia talk show “Evening Urgant” hosted by Ivan Urgant.
During a game of Russian roulette, played with pickles and vodka shots on a lazy susan, Colbert, taking a shot, offered a toast “to the beautiful and friendly Russian people. I don’t understand why no members of the Trump administration can remember meeting you.” Returning the toast, Urgant replied “I would like to raise a glass for the beautiful country, United States of America, which invented the Internet, thanks to which we can influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections.”
After a few shots, Colbert paused and asked Urgant, “Can I announce something? I’m here in Russia – this is not shown in the United States?” Urgant assured him that the interview will not be airing at President Trump’s place. Colbert continued, “Okay. I am here to announce that I am considering a run for president in 2020, and I thought it would be better to cut out the middle man and just tell the Russians myself. If anyone would like to work on my campaign, in an unofficial capacity, please just let me know.”
Ever the gracious host, Urgant toasted his guest, “It’s a pleasure to drink with the future U.S. President. To you, Stephen. I wish you luck. We will do everything we can so you become president.”

Speaking at the event, Stephen Colbert said “Well, good evening. I’m so happy to be here tonight to be talking about a man who makes my show special every night … and for once, I am not talking about Donald Trump!” Before going on to talk about the ‘Late Show’ bandleader Jon Batiste, who “led my entire [Colbert Report] audience onto 53rd Street for a New Orleans-style musical parade that he calls a ‘love riot’ and police call a ‘funky gridlock.’” It is Jon’s belief that we “we can definitely use the arts in this ‘very tumultuous time’”.
