When news stories fall through the cracks, we here at Colbert News Hub find them for a post we call, In The Press.
Hi y’all! I hope you’ve all enjoyed these past few weeks as much as I have, because I am absolutely loving the new show!
Fun fact: There’s been over one month of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, but at the end I’m still expecting to hear “That’s it for the Report” every single time.
Not-so-fun fact: There are no new shows next week… But fear not! You needn’t go nine full days without Stephen Colbert in your life! You can just take your time and read all these articles. There are fantastic background stories, there are adorable kids singing the Preamble of the Constitution, there’s hummus controversy, and much more!

Online news sources were buzzing earlier today with a new article from the New York Times featuring Mr. Wonderful entitled ‘Stephen Colbert, the Late Night Hope’. The article touches base on many of the topics we have already read recently through other sources and media outlets, though provides some additional eye-candy with exterior and interior views of the newly renovated Ed Sullivan Theatre in which haven’t been seen before now. And what we imagined is true, “she’s a beaut, Clark!”

Speaking at the Deutsche Bank 2015 Media, Internet and Telecom Conference in Florida, Les Moonves was asked about the upcoming debut of ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ later this month, and the ‘Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ in September.

CBS chief executive Les Moonves said the political right has nothing to fear from Stephen Colbert, even though the comedian has built his reputation on making fun of conservatives.
“You know what? Ironically, Stephen Colbert is much more moderate than people think he is,” Moonves said Wednesday at the Milken Institute Global Conference. “He’s a great social commentator, and that’s sort of what we want. That’s sort of what David Letterman has been.”
Moonves was speaking on a panel called Entertainment: The Big Picture, which was moderated by Janice Min, co-president of Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter.
“Are you concerned,” asked Min, “about the political views he has expressed on Comedy Central?”
“If you’re referring to remarks by Rush Limbaugh that we’ve attacked the heartland of America, I would respectfully disagree with that assessment of who Stephen Colbert is,” Moonves said. “As one reporter put it, ‘So, suddenly Rush is going soft on Letterman?’”
