suggested last week that Colbert try doing the show from home, Skyping in
guests, but if this is the level of broadcast that would result, I'd prefer
While I like a lot of what Colbert does, those segments with the mother

trapped in an elevator with Kristen Wiig.

While Colbert is advertised as a rerun tonight, it isn't really. He does a
monologue from home, with some virtual assistance from staff, since there are

Closer Look online.
ABC Jimmy already had Mayor Pete scheduled to be a guest host on Thursday. He

Sheldon Cooper ever hosted a talk show.

Watching the Colbert monologue now. They went without audience tonight (was
originally going to be Monday), and he's doing it from behind the desk. Dr.
