Please Enjoy These Cat Acrobats Not Giving a Damn About Being on the Late Show
On Monday night, Stephen Colbert’s Late Show featured some truly wondrous live entertainment: the Amazing Acro-cats. In keeping with their nature (i.e., being cats), they were quite desultory about their performance. At one point, the host himself felt obliged to pitch in. Just hand the entire late-night lineup over…
Stephen Colbert Gets Bernie Sanders All Riled Up on The Late Show
While tonight’s Late Show interview with Bernie Sanders was absent any of the respective tears or deep, deep discomfort that characterized Colbert’s two biggest moments so far (and at least compared to every other candidate interview we’ve seen), Sanders still manages to leave you with the impression that the man is…
David Letterman vs. Mr. Rogers: Two Meditations on Manhood
If you were born in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Mr. Rogers taught you how to be an adult and then years later, David Letterman taught you that you really didn’t have to be one, after all.

Julia Roberts Tells Dave Letterman Why He's Cruel to Young Actresses
David Letterman is leaving this earth (rather, he’s leaving television, which is reportedly worse). As he does so, his biggest fans are coming by The Late Show to say goodbye.

Will Smith Is a Prisoner Of Daughter Willow's Teenage Emotions
Willow Smith might be the famous daughter of a celebrity but she's also a 14-year-old girl full of colliding hormones. You know, like we once were. On Thursday, her dad Will Smith stopped by David Letterman—who's still on, amazing—and talked about the perpetual Teenage Girl Independence Day going on at home and how…
Christopher Walken's First Meeting With Clint Eastwood Was Perfect
It's a universally accepted truth that anything that comes out of Christopher Walken's mouth is always going to be disturbingly creepy. If he were to read the ingredients in a box of Shredded Wheat, you'd probably go sleepless for days, terrified of every flicker in your shadow. But he also has the uncanny ability to…
Cobie Smulders Has Nothing to Say About Robin's Fate Yet
How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman to talk about her role in Captain America, which is obviously the only thing that you or anyone else who was up watching the HIMYM finale and crying their eyes out and/or screaming at their television set cares about. OBVIOUSLY.
Tom Hanks' Latest Historical Mini-Series: The History Of The Pop Tart
I'll say it again: Tom Hanks is a national treasure. Here's a clip from his appearance on the Late Show, in which he pokes fun at his habit of making historical mini-series on HBO by announcing his latest pet project: an 11-part series on the creation of the Pop Tart. He plays Bert Loomis, without whom we may have…
