A new study revealed late-night comedy shows booked 90 liberal guests vs. just one conservative in the second half of 2025, highlighting a stark political imbalance.

The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, clocked that 92% of jokes told on the six late-night shows were aimed at conservatives.

Taylor Swift will be a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She previously was on the show back in 2021.

Now, with just weeks left to go before the new year, The Late Show is running out of time. In the wake of the cancellation news over the summer, Stephen Colbert joked about being "available in June" for offers from Netflix and Amazon, but later said that he wanted to focus on getting to savor every day that was left on CBS and "land the plane."

Our critic Jason Zinoman describes how the late-night talk show, whose death had been declared by many observers, came back to life this year.

A former employee for Letterman's long-running CBS talk show, Malkoff had the "lackluster job" of selling Late Show tickets to anyone who called the network. In spite of this minor position, however, Malkoff, like most Late Show employees, was "forbidden" from attending tapings of Letterman's show.
