Stephen Colbert blanketed radio airwaves yesterday promising that his second performance on The Late Show on CBS would rank among his best two Late Show performances.
With first-night jitters now behind him—along with a hair-raising tale about how Tuesday’s debut barely made it to air—Wednesday’s broadcast offered samples of what anyone who loves Colbert knows he does best: surreal sketches (ScarJo on a blanket staring at the stars talking about her feet!), improvisation-fueled interviews (Elon Musk, are you a supervillain?), and on-the-money political satire, like this segment on the idiotic range of merchandise you can now buy from presidential candidates. Stay for the “Feel the Bern” mug, and Jeb Bush’s radically overpriced “Guaca Bowle.”
