If you've been reading the news, which you kind of have to nowadays, the United States is having some sort of election. Two pretty big dummies are running and everyone is mad at the other side. But watch as one of the side's biggest names goes live on Showtime following the election results. Deadline announced that Stephen Colbert will host a live special on the premium cabler called Stephen Colbert’s Live Election Night Democracy’s Series Finale: Who’s Going To Clean Up This Shi*t? Showtime's appeal for the special, as noted by Networks president and CEO David Nevins, is that Colbert can curse. Joy! Colbert will "react" as state by state results come in while the special itself is slated for an hour. There will also be guests and remotes. Think of it as a louder version of his CBS show. There will probably be more applause breaks too.

Stephen Colbert doesn't think you can escape from a man size cabinet
Mixing two things I love (video games and Stephen Colbert) the new Late Show host has created a new way to get into our hearts. Escape From A Man Sized Cabinet harks back to text based adventures of early computer game days where you explore the Late Show office, do a ton of clicking, and of course get trapped in a man sized cabinet. It may seem futile to try to break down the door or go further into the cabinet but, I assure you, there will be something special for you. The writing is pretty well done; you can see they spent some time on this. If you can't get enough Colbert, or if you want to satiate your gaming appetite, head over to the Late Show website to play the game.
