Stephen Colbert shares the Late Show field pieces too bad to air
AV Club • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Some segments on The Late Show, like Bootsie Plunkett’s haunted house healthcare bit and a correspondent at a pugs-against-Trump rally, didn’t generate enough jokes to air.
- Other pieces, such as a 90s convention segment and a trip to Chicago with Colbert and Paul Dinello, were deemed too self-indulgent and ultimately shelved.
- Colbert acknowledged the reasons for not airing these segments, reflecting on the end of this phase of his career with a sense of closure.
- For his final week, Colbert’s show features high-profile guests including Jon Stewart, Bruce Springsteen, David Byrne, and Steven Spielberg, with additional surprises yet to be announced.
- Fans can watch an extended “The Worst Of The Late Show” compilation online as part of the farewell programming.
