Due to the Winter Olympics preempting NBC’s late-night programming for a second consecutive week, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is stepping up to fill the late-night void this week at 11:35 p.m. After a brief hiatus, Colbert will return to the Ed Sullivan Theater tonight with a stellar lineup featuring Hollywood stars Jennifer Garner and Emma Thompson.
The excitement continues on Tuesday as Colbert welcomes CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins along with esteemed historian Walter Isaacson. Wednesday promises an engaging evening with Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, actor Kyle MacLachlan, and musical performance from Thundercat. The week concludes on Thursday with comedian and actress Melissa McCarthy joining the show, alongside renowned food writer Michael Pollan.
Meanwhile, other late-night shows including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and The Daily Show are slated to return with fresh episodes on Monday, February 23.
