• Kendrick Lamar Is First 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' Music Guest

    Stephen Colbert's version of The Late Show on CBS is less than a month away, and just a few days after announcing his first guest (George Clooney), yesterday (Aug. 10) at the Television Critics Association summer press conference, the comedian and future talk show host announced his first musical guest: Kendrick Lamar.

  • Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Rock Jon Stewart Off 'The Daily Show'

    Jon Stewart got a tremendous send-off from 'The Daily Show' as Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band stepped in to play the final set of the comedian's tenure on Comedy Central's award-winning news program. The group played "Land of Hope and Dreams" before easing into the classic "Born To Run."

  • Stephen Colbert Intervews Eminem For Michigan Local Access Television

    Eminem is going from serious to comedic in a second. After airing his interview with Zane Lowe as part of Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio's big launch, Eminem also sat down with Stephen Colbert on local access network in Michigan for a hilarious interview. Colbert apparently got bored of not hosting a show, so he took over Only In Monroe, a program on local TV in Monroe, Michigan and hung out with the original guests and then on of the greatest rappers the state has ever produced, Eminem. This is the untamed Colbert that we knew from his show on Comedy Central, The Colbert Report and combined with the dry humor of Eminem, you have comedic gold.

  • Stephen Colbert Names Jon Batiste as Bandleader for 'Late Show'

    Stephen Colbert and CBS made a big announcement yesterday, naming Jon Batiste as his bandleader for the Late Show when the comedian debuts on September 8. It's too early to make David Letterman comparisons, but if Colbert and Batiste have a relationship as friendly as the former Late Show host and Paul Shaffer, we'll be seeing a lot of the jazz musician for years to come.

  • John Mayer Talks Up 'Late Late Show' Guest Stint on Twitter

    Craig Ferguson's departure from "The Late Late Show" was sort of ignored by the general public, considering the other late-night moves. David Letterman is leaving "The Late Show" and will be replaced by Stephen Colbert, effectively changing the format of two beloved time slots. Comedian James Corden was not able to fill in for Ferguson immediately, so some guest hosts including Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow and John Mayer will fill the void. The guitarist recently took to Twitter to promise an awesome guest lineup for his February dates, "Billboard" notes.

  • WATCH: 'The Colbert Report' Finale Song "We'll Meet Again" with Willie Nelson, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Stipe & More [VIDEO]

    Last night, the world bid adieu to Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report and the faux-conservative pundit we've all grown to know and love on Comedy Central over the last eight years. In one of the funny news show's final segments, celebrities of all sorts, including Michael Stipe, Willie Nelson, Cyndi Lauper and Randy Newman sang goodbye to Colbert with an emotional performance of "We'll Meet Again."

  • Stephen Colbert Sells R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe for 25 Cents on Second-to-Last 'Colbert Report' [WATCH]

    Tonight, Dec. 18, marks the end of the Stephen Colbert era on Comedy Central. For nine years, "The Colbert Report" gave its politically hilarious host a forum to vent his frustrations with America and poke fun at the people running it. Guests ranged from top political figures to authors to actors to musicians. When Colbert's favorite band, R.E.M., broke up in 2011, the host gave frontman Michael Stipe a spot on his "Shelves of Honor." But since the show is coming to an end and Colbert is moving to CBS, he decided to have a yard sale to get rid of his excess junk. As Colbert introduces the skit, Stipe complains about not being dusted in a while. "Hey! That's you in the corner, it's me in the spotlight! Read your contract," the host says, referencing R.E.M.'s 1991 hit "Losing My Religion."

  • Kendrick Lamar Premieres Song on 'Colbert Report' [WATCH]

    As "The Colbert Report" finishes its last week, the show has been able to pull together some high-profile guests to pay homage to a man, Stephen Colbert, who has become a star on late-night television. As his final music guest on the show, the show had Kendrick Lamar come on for a short interview and to perform a song, an opportunity which K.Dot used to premiere a new, unnamed track. Before jumping into the song, Colbert poses the difficult questions he always does in the sarcastic and humorous manner that has made his stage persona so popular. He lets Kendrick know there is some pressure on his shoulders, noting that "Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Jack White and Nas were your opening acts." He asks if it is difficult to get life insurance as the leader of West Coast rap and what he is trying to communicate through his songs as a writer, not a rapper.

  • Kendrick Lamar To Appear As Guest on Final Week of 'The Colbert Report'

    Next week, "The Colbert Report" will sadly be going off the air as Stephen Colbert prepares for his new job as host of "The Late Show" on CBS, but he's determined to go out on top. As revealed in a tweet sent out by "The New York Times" writer Dave Itzkoff, Colbert's guest next Tuesday, Dec. 16, will be Kendrick Lamar. Since Lamar recently performed two songs on "Saturday Night Live," let's hope that he uses his performance on "The Colbert Report" to debut another new song from his upcoming, highly anticipated album (or even reveal its title and release date).

  • Neil Young, Stephen Colbert Duet On 'The Colbert Report' [WATCH]

    If you watched Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report last night then you’re well aware that it could very well have been one of the most entertaining episode of the Comedy Central hit ever.
