I guarantee the time between the Report and Late Show will not be time off.
I've worked on pre-production and development for shows that are not one of
the largest properties on a network. Awards shows, for instance, are in
pre-production three or four months before they air. And by all accounts
Colbert is hands-on with most aspects of his show, which means he will have
input in everything from set design to the band. He'll be auditioning
writers and stage managers... ugh... I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

If he's lucky he'll get two weeks off between shows... but I doubt it.
