I just got around to watching the Jason Bateman interview from Colbert's Russia shows last week (I watched the actual Russia bits last week). Bateman references that Colbert did two monologues in one night, in the same tie (I later did confirm that he was wearing the same tie for both the Thursday and Friday monologue, something I have not checked in the past).
At first I thought this indicated that Bateman was originally scheduled to be a guest on the "Friday" show and for some reason they moved it. But a little googling showed that Bateman had been announced all along as the Thursday guest. So now I conclude that Colbert does two monologues back to back at the start of the first Thursday show, then does the comedy segment and interview for the Thursday show, followed by the comedy segment and interview for the "Friday" show (though I guess it is possible they do the comedy segments back to back, and then the interviews, and then the music. As has been noted here for many years, Dave used to do the Friday show on Thursday night also; I guess though I always assumed they did the first show, took a dinner break or something, brought in a second audience and did the Friday show. But as I think about it that would be an inefficient waste of time, and the point of the whole thing is to save time.
