G’day all, it’s been a while since the last site update. I hope you’ve all been well.
I just wanted to take a brief moment to let you know about some of the new features that I have recently added to the site.
Since our humble beginnings back in May 2011, our site has grown into a wonderful, friendly, fan community, and continues to do so. And for as long as I have been able, I have done my best to run the site as economically as possible, and pay for all of the site costs out of my own pocket. Keeping the site ad free in the process. I fully realised the responsibilty of taking on such a site when I started it, and the costs involved. But the site has now grown to a point where, as a student, I can no longer afford to cover all of our growing costs on my own.
After much deliberation, I have decided that the best path forward is to add a few new features to the site that will help raise funds to cover our growing site costs – server bills, security and upgrades – and keep the site ad free. I realise that not everyone will be comfortable donating to the site, so I have created a few different options for those wishing to make a contribution.
Firstly, I have installed a quick and easy to use PayPal Donate button on the side bar. So, if you have a few dollars to spare, please consider donating to our site.
Secondly, the site is a member of the Amazon affiliate program. What this means is that, when available, product links for books, DVDs, CDs, etc. will take you to their respective pages on Amazon. Should you purchase said product, the site earns a few cents and/or dollars. In keeping with this, I have also created an Amazon eStore, which uses the same affiliate links, and includes all of the products available on Amazon that are by, feature contributions by, or are about Stephen Colbert and his film and television work. A few six degrees items have been included as well.
Lastly, you can pop over to our Zazzle store, and pick up some nifty Hubster gear. Currently available are t-shirts, mugs, badges, keyrings and stickers, but if there’s something else you fancy, please let me know and I will make our designs available on your product of choice. If you have any design ideas for Hubster support gear, please do let me know, I’d love to add a few new designs to our store!
As always, thank you all for your wonderful support and contributions, and for being apart of our site. We couldn’t do it without you. And of course, to all of our volunteer Hub staff, thank you all for your hard work and dedication!! Here’s to a great year of blogging!!

Someone has a new side kick.
Hubster Staffer Melanie has sent us this wonderful “Taping ReporT” of her trip to the February 7, 2016 Live Post-Game Supershow LXXXVIII taping of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

Stephen Colbert has been added to the list of presenters at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, which will take place live on Monday, February 15th, 2016 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast on CBS on Monday, February 15th, 2016 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT.
Live Stream: CBS All Access.
TV Ratings: Super Bowl 50 Steady With Second-Best Overnight Ever
The post-game outing of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show naturally set an all-time high for the host’s CBS tenure, but early ratings have it performing below recent shows to get that time slot. Colbert averaged 21.1 million viewers and a 8.4 rating among adults 18-49. That’s off from the last two series — The Blacklist (26.5 million and a 8.7 demo rating in 2015), New Girl (25.8 million and a 11.1 demo rating in 2014) — to air after the Super Bowl, but better than CBS’ last go in the slot (Elementary took 20.8 million viewers and a 7.8 demo rating in 2014).
The Late Late Show With James Corden brought a franchise high with nearly 5 million viewers and a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49.
