CBS announced Monday that Stephen Colbert will make his debut as the host of “Late Show” on Sept. 8.
The network had previously announced that retiring host David Letterman’s last show would be May 20.
Colbert took his leave from Comedy Central back in December in a mind-bogglingly star-studded final episode of “The Colbert Report.” He gave a nod to fans’ long wait for his next venture in a press release.
“I have nine months to make a show, just like a baby. So first, I should find out how you make a baby,” Colbert said.
