My sister and brother-in-law went to Colbert's taping last night (Thursday).
Two shows (Thursday and Friday) were taped back to back. However - they did NOT see one of Thursday's guests (Kate Winslet) or one of Friday's guests (Carol Burnett). In fact, they were told that Burnett's segment was taped three weeks ago. They did, however, see Mark Hamill (Friday's guest - they said his segment was great) and the Thursday segment with Laura Benanti as Melania. They also said that the two monologues were taped back to back - the Friday monologue was taped immediately after the Thursday one. (I watched part of Thursday's show before I fell asleep - when Colbert pointed out Jon Batiste's father was playing bass with the band, then asked him "Can you play Friday night too?", I got a chuckle.) I haven't been to many TV tapings in my life, but in the nineties I went to one Letterman, one Leno, and two Conans. When I told my brother-in-law that the shows I witnessed were complete shows that just taped all the way through from start to finish, he was shocked.
