Thank you very much. Welcome, one at all, to the late show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert.

Now, I don't know. I don't know about you, but I cannot wait for the January 6th

Committee's live hearings on Thursday in prime time. They're destined to go down in

the annals of live TV like the Watergate hearings, the moon landing, and the time Walter

Cronkite was swallowed by a python. It's going to be an historic evening, which is why the

late show will be going live, right there, baby. Live after the hearings on Thursday night.

Come on. You can't keep us down. You go live. We go live. Come on. I'm tired already.

Yeah, baby. I am pre-exhausted now. Here's the deal. All the major news outfits, CBS, NBC,

ABC, MSNBC, CNN, will be covering the hearings live while the Fox News Channel will stay with

this usual prime time lineup. Well, that's actually good. No, it's actually good. We'll hear

directly from the people who planned the coup. And Sean can just read his tweets.

We're learning more about what to expect from the hearings this Thursday. Thanks to Maryland

representative and patient in the dentist's waiting room, realizing everyone forgot about him and

went home. Jamie Raskin. Raskin claims that the hearings spell a lot of trouble for former

president Frodo Baggins. We all saw the former president fire up that mob and tell them to march

on the Capitol to stop the counting. But Raskin says there is more to the story.

The select committee has found evidence about a lot more than in sightment here.

That is tantalizingly vague. It reminds me of the original title of Breaking Bad about a lot more

than chemistry. Now, part of the former president's plan to overthrow the legitimate results of a

free and fair election was to go to the seven battleground states he lost and just make up

alternative slates of electors who would claim he had won their state. Why stop there?

Why not just bring in a fake mic, Pence? You could borrow mine.
