Summary

The White House is fully in the holiday spirit as the Second Family celebrates Hanukkah and the Capitol Christmas Tree gets lit, as the nation's supply chain issues get even worse, threatening America’s access to some of our favorite wines and liquors. Meanwhile… The government of Jamaica is promoting the joys of marijuana, and scientists spent a lot of time proving Thanos couldn’t have snapped his fingers wearing that bulky Infinity Gauntlet. The incomparable Jeff Goldblum agrees to embark on television’s most rigorous examination of mind, body and soul, known as The Colbert Questionert - see how he handles the pressure of revealing his favorite sandwich. And next, a special tribute to "the greatest composer and lyricist in the history of American theater:" Stephen's extended interview with the legendary Stephen Sondheim.
