Episode 280: Cheesy Ending

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of late night television on political influence in America, with a focus on Stephen Colbert's show and includes humorous tangents about rhymes and pizza.

Good afternoon friends, and welcome to the end. (Of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.) We're talking about the era of late night and what it says about political influence in America, and what we want to see next from Colbert. Plus, we talk about rhymes and pizza, which is how we got this episode title. How clever! This episode's mistakes include: Occasionally pronouncing Jon Batiste as Jon Baptiste. Extended discussions of foreign television dynamics. Repeatedly teasing ratings chat and then never getting to it. Egregious factual inaccuracies.
