It has been more than a year since Stephen Colbert took over as host of CBS' The Late Show, and he's finally feeling comfortable being himself and not a character.
Before The Late Show, Colbert spent nine years playing the role of a self-important blowhard on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. He tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross that he initially shied away from discussing politics or current events on The Late Show in an effort to differentiate himself from his Colbert persona.
"It took me almost half a year to realize ... that you can have a highly opinionated, highly topical show as yourself and not essentially fall back into the basket of The Colbert Report," he says. "Now I have no qualms about being sharp and satirical and highly opinionated and saying whatever's on my mind as quickly as I can."
This fall, Colbert's mind has been on the election. He's been doing political comedy nearly every night, but don't expect him to be at his Late Show desk on election night. Colbert's Nov. 8 show will be pre-empted by CBS News coverage, so instead he'll be hosting the Showtime special Stephen Colbert's Live Election Night Democracy's Series Finale: Who's Going To Clean Up This S***? He promises guest stars, special political commercials, musical guests and, of course, election results.
