Stephen Colbert Follows Up Final ‘Late Show’ With Guest Host Spot On Michigan Talk Show After “Excruciating 23 Hours Without Being On TV”

Following the end of an era this week on CBS, Stephen Colbert found a temporary new TV home in Monroe, Michigan.

On Friday, the 11x Emmy-winning comedian surprised local Michigan audiences when he filled in as guest host on Only in Monroe, one day after The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended its monumental run with its most-watched weeknight episode ever.

“Hello. Also, welcome. It’s time for another edition of Only in Monroe,” he kicked off the episode. “I’m your guest host Stephen Colbert. Longtime viewers of Only in Monroe may remember that back in July of 2015, I filled in for the usual hosts Michelle Baumann and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson. Still not sure how many people that is.”
