Summary
Stephen took over his own podcast yet again last summer with an exclusive introduction to a beloved Colbert Classic, his conversation with television legend and friend of the show, Dick Cavett. In this interview from January 2020, Stephen and Dick toasted his first visit to the Late Show with an orange juice and Campari cocktail, a drink introduced to him by none other than Marlon Brando.
The Late Show Pod Show will be looking back at some of our favorite Colbert Introductions from this past season before Stephen returns with all new episodes September 2nd.
