Summary

World leaders fear Vladimir Putin is isolated and paranoid after two years of extreme measures to dodge covid, and the bizarre anti-gay bill cooked up by Florida’s GOP is poised to have disastrous consequences, and not just for that state’s children. Next, Big Tech is struggling to attract Gen Z to established dating apps like Tinder, so our host offers some ideas for hip new dating apps in this edition of “Stephen Colbert’s Romansplaining.” Stephen’s guests Jennifer Palmieri, Mark McKinnon and John Heilemann from “The Circus” on Showtime stop by to discuss the situation in Ukraine and assess President Biden’s response. And comedian Russell Howard makes his Late Show stand-up debut. Watch Russell’s “Lubricant” comedy special on Netflix, and catch him on the U.S. leg of his world comedy tour, “Respite.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
