Summary

With The Late Show coming to an end, The Late Show Pod Show is running back some of our favorite segments from the 'Stephen Presents' series: where Colbert sits down to tell exclusive behind-the-scenes stories and sometimes exchange recipes with podcast producer Becca. In tonight's Top of The Tops, they talk office baked goods and whose cookies from staff made it into the Colbert's family cookbook: 'Does This Taste Funny?' Then enjoy another Late Show Pod Show specialty: Audience Questions!

Stephen's introduction was previously recorded for a podcast released on April 24th, 2024.
