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.

There are fantastic background stories, there are adorable kids singing the Preamble of the Constitution, there’s hummus controversy, and much more!

Larry Wilmore closed out the premiere episode of ‘The Nightly Show’ with a special tip of the hat, wag of the finger to Stephen Colbert for making 11:30PM so special.
Stephen responded to the shout out, tweeting “Well, I’m impressed. #keepit100”.
Larry Wilmore’s Comedy Central show won’t be titled The Minority Report, instead it will take a cue from one of the channel’s flagship shows.
The new series was retitled “The Nightly Show” and will premiere on January 19, according to The New York Times.
Wilmore, a former correspondent on The Daily Show, was named in May the host of the forthcoming 11:30 pm show, which will take the place of The Colbert Report. When the comedian’s show was first announced, the original title was The Minority Report With Larry Wilmore.
In an interview with the Times, Wilmore said that name change was to avoid “brand confusion.”
“It was never intended to be a show only about minorities,” Wilmore told the newspaper. “It’s a show about underdogs, and that happens in a lot of different forms, whether it’s race, gender, or whatever.”
