You might wonder what kind of “The Late Show” comedian Stephen Colbert is planning to host when he takes over the CBS gig Sept. 8.
Colbert, on the cover of a September issue of “Time,” seemed serious.
His face is expressionless and he’s without his signature glasses. The photograph was shot in black and white, adding to the mystique of it all.
But Colbert doesn’t seem to be turning “The Late Show” into a crime drama. He tweeted the magazine’s cover and poked fun at his somber pose and complimented the photographer.
Hilarious! #ISwearItsAComedyShow pic.twitter.com/bDe9Yz9OaT
