Oh, wait a second…I get it now. “There wasn’t a cold open once this week,” and that once was Thursday night.
Odd phrasing, but ignore me…I’m caught up. :) Doug Fields Tampa, FL From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Fields Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2016 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [TV orNotTV] Re: Colbert's new showrunner ???? Are we using a different definition of “cold open”? There was a cold open *every* night this week, except Thursday. Monday – Hillary Clinton in Katz’s Deli Tuesday – Abe Lincoln and Robert E. Lee sucking face behind Colbert’s commentary about North Carolina’s HB2. Wednesday – Cartoon Donald Trump celebrating in his dressing room. Thursday – none Friday – Backstage “Game of Thrones” parody with Stephen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Other than that first part of your point, I agree…I love all the cold openings.

There's also a new arrangement of the opening credit music. The break is shorter between the end of the guest announcements and "And now its time for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and Stay Human now repeats the last bit of the theme as Stephen walks out.

On last night's show, Colbert entered from behind the screen after the "zoom into the Ed", he performed a standard monologue (less the 'one more thing' joke that usually punches out to the titles), then had Stay Human play him over to the desk. But I agree - let's see what happens tonight. On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 3:55:32 PM UTC-4, David Bruggeman wrote: Wait for tonight's show to be sure, as Monday's started with a cold open. In those cases, Colbert's Late Show does cold open into the opening credits.
