“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” Highlights!

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert premiered last night on CBS, and there were so many great highlights we couldn’t possibly get all of them – but we managed to choose our favorites.

It was really weird seeing Colbert out of his “Colbert Report” character, but he still did a great job. The show opened with a montage of Colbert singing the National Anthem with fans across the country, with a surprise appearance by Jon Stewart at the end.

The special guest was none other than Jeb Bush – you know, the brother of George W. Bush whom Colbert famously roasted at the White House Correspondents’ dinner. Colbert gave Jeb a few tips for his presidential campaign, including “Trumpifying” his responses to reporters’ questions.

Trump was a big topic for the night, because this was the first time since “The Colbert Report” went off the air in December that Colbert has had a chance to cover Trump news.

This was easily the highest rated talk show of the night. Whether Colbert can go on to compete with Jimmy Fallon remains to be seen.

All these clips and more are available on The Late Show’s YouTube channel.
