Summary

Stephen Colbert gets caught up on the news he missed while The Late Show was on break, President Trump didn’t win a Nobel Peace Prize but he did deploy National Guard troops to Oregon and Illinois, and mass layoffs at the C.D.C. could leave the U.S. vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks. Lifelong Diane Keaton fan Stephen Colbert pays tribute to the acting legend with a look back at her hilarious 2012 appearance on “The Colbert Report.” Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves bonded over their shared love for motorcycles and bass guitars when they met during auditions for the 1989 classic film, “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” Catch them on Broadway in “Waiting for Godot,” playing now at the Hudson Theater.
