Stephen Colbert Announces His First 'Late Show' Guest

On Thursday, Jon Stewart said goodbye to late-night TV with his final episode of the “The Daily Show,” but fear not as the space is not about to be left solely to the Jimmys (Kimmel and Fallon, of course) to use as their playground.

Stephen Colbert is about to rise again, and with him he’ll bring George Clooney as his first guest on “The Late Show”:

George Clooney will be my first-ever #LSSC guest on September 8th! Could one of you let him know?
