I'd just like to know whether anyone in whatever department at CBS sends out schedules to the listings services seriously thought that Colbert was going to start at 10:00 Eastern, when the game didn't kick off until after 6:30. Usually, it seems like the post-game, post-ceremony shows are scheduled for 10:30 and that usually ends up being overly optimistic. Based on the timing of the start and Colbert running over his allotted hour, it sounds like not even the 60 minutes of padding I put on my recording of Corden before I went to bed will be enough to get all of it.
