'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Premiere Announced


. (Radio.com) Goodbye Stephen Colbert, the delightfully wry America-loving late night host of The Colbert Report. Hello, Stephen Colbert, the new host of the Late Show on CBS.

The network announced on Monday (Jan. 12) that Colbert's new late show--appropriately titled, Late Show with Stephen Colbert--will officially debut on Sept. 8.

No guests have been announced for Colbert's debut, but by the looks his final Report shows, which included appearances by Kendrick Lamar and Michael Stipe, he'll probably have no problem getting an impressive lineup of great musical guests to welcome him to late night.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has yet to announce who will take over bandleader duties after Paul Shaffer departs, so let the speculation begin! Jimmy Fallon has The Roots and Seth Meyers has Fred Armisen, The Late Late Show's James Corden has Reggie Watts, so perhaps, Stipe can be bought back to head up Colbert's band? Hey, a music fan can dream.
