LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT
CBS, 11:35 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: Simply put, this is the most eagerly anticipated, expertly promoted TV premiere of 2015. The opening night guests are George Clooney and Jeb Bush – but it’s Stephen Colbert that viewers will be coming to see, especially to watch the man underneath the former Colbert Report fake-conservative mask. My prediction? He’ll be terrific – and instantly successful.
