I was very doubtful when Colbert said he would be returning only one week following surgery for a burst appendix. This brief note on Threads, a service that’s unfamiliar to me, is from a week ago. There hasn’t been an announcement since then that he’ll be back on TV tonight.

Breaking News: And this time the news really is just breaking. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be back tonight.
Here is every instance of Stephen Colbert uttering my family name while talking about Trump revealing state secrets to Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt. The most Pratt-ish sounding of the bunch is repeated at the end.
Prattle on, Stephen!
I miss seeing Stephen Colbert, and I see a reason for late night hosts to be concerned. The longer the striking writers continue to walk the picket line, the tougher it’s going to be to get viewers back in the routine of watching late night shows. I don’t have a Spotify account, but if I did I’d listen to Strike Force Five.

“Wherever else you get your podcasts” isn’t correct, because if Strike Force Five were available on TuneIn, and it isn’t, I’d be able to embed a player here. Spotify doesn’t allow that, which is one reason why I don’t have a Spotify account.
The problem for striking writers and actors is the massive amount of content that’s available for streaming. For now, viewers aren’t feeling a loss of new programming.

Stephen Colbert’s heartfelt tribute to MAD cartoonist Al Jaffee.
Saying Al died at 1012 is only a slight exaggeration. He was 102. This is Stephen’s introduction to the book he talked about last night.

Jaffee autographed my copy of the book in 2012.
Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm, Reed Richards, Sue Storm and… Stephen Colbert??
