Stephen Colbert fought back tears as he ended Monday’s episode of CBS’ The Late Show with a black title card paying tribute to his late, longtime executive assistant Amy Cole, who had died the day before in New York following a brief illness.

At the end of Monday’s episode, Colbert turned very serious as he prepared to say his goodnight. “That’s it for The Late Show,” the host said before appearing to struggle to hold back tears. Colbert stared into the camera as if trying to find words, tapped his desk, and then offered an abrupt “good night.”
After Colbert exited the set, the memorial title card appeared reading, “Dedicated to our dear friend Amy Cole, 1970-2024.”

Stephen Colbert surprised viewers by delivering fresh material — from his bathtub — at the top of Monday’s “Late Show” rerun. “Late Show” was expected to be all encores this week after CBS and other networks hastily suspended production on most late-night shows to comply with coronavirus protection guidelines.

“On behalf of the socially anxious everywhere, let me just say — way ahead of you,” Colbert joked of the new edict for Americans to stay home as much as possible.
“Late Show” delivered two ten-minute segments that aired at the top of the hour. The telecast then segued...

As the midterm elections approach, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert has determined a unique way to cover them — by enlisting a so-called "uninformed voter" to be his correspondent.
On Friday, the late-night host debuted The Late Show's "Uninformed Correspondent," Robin "Bootsie" Plunkett, mother of Late Show producer Jake Plunkett, and sent her to Staten Island to interview Democratic Congressional candidate Max Rose, who is running for New York's 11th district.
