What Has Stephen Colbert Been Doing During His Time Off?


Stephen Colbert is kicking off his CBS late-night show in a big way.

Colbert tweeted Friday that George Clooney will be his first guest on the Late Show when it debuts Sept. 8. Colbert is taking the show's reins from David Letterman, whose final episode aired May 20.

"George Clooney will be my first-ever #LSSC guest on September 8th!" Colbert tweeted. "Could one of you let him know?"

The news comes one day after Jon Stewart signed off as host of the Daily Show, where Colbert was a regular before landing his own Comedy Central series, The Colbert Report.
